Happy Halloween

It's that time of the year again. Time to get dressed up all cute or scary and get a bunch of candy. Here are a few pictures of my little cuties.

Adam was a Ninja Turtle...


Joshua was a Lemur (with the mask he bought at the zoo yesterday)...


And Janie was a clown.

We didn't actually go Trick-or-Treating this year, but we did go to a couple of church Trunk-or-Treat parties on Saturday, and visited the grandparents who live in town. It was a fun night.

Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses, Part 2

Adam saw that my model didn't have a face, so he drew one for her. Wasn't that sweet of him?

I am grateful to have a little boy who is so desirous to help me and to make me happy. He is a blessing to me.

Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses

Shabby Apple, an online modest dress company (www.shabbyapple.com), is having a contest for a dress to include in their spring line.

This dress would be made in baby blue or light green linen, with lace in the same color overlaid at the top of the front. The flower at the waist could be a tie instead, and would probably be made of the same fabric. The dress would also work in a dark denim with contrasting details.

The inspiration for this dress was a blouse that I really like. It is a little bit vintage, pretty, simple and flattering.

Go here for the rest of the story about this picture.

New Toy

We got a notice in the mail yesterday that our grass and weeds in the front yard were too tall. They gave us seven (7) business days to fix it or we'd be fined $200 dollars. So we decided it was time to do something that we've been putting off as long as possible - buying a lawn mower. We figured it was either spend the $200 on a fine or on getting something to avoid the fine. So below is a picture of my new toy.

Sunday Afternoon

I love peaceful Sunday afternoons. Church is lovely, and then we can come home and just be together. Makes me happy.
