My mom taught me how to embroider and sew when i was little. i can remember her buying those iron on designs and we would embroider birds and flowers and she would turn them into pillows. well since she passed away i have aqcuired her sewing machine and embroidering hoops. the other night i decided i would give it a go and see if i could at least make a decent letter and then that got me wanting to make B a baby doll. I'm still a little lost on the baby doll, but i'll pick her back up and finish her at some point. i sat with pride remembering momma teaching me. i would do anything to sit with her and make some more of those pillows. i cherish that ol' memory that i had long forgotten about.

in the news

so B was in a fashion show with her grandmaw and we all made the paper. Now we just have to figure out how she's going to spend her money!

an afternoon stroll....

one afternoon, garet and i decided to go for a walk. we live a couple of blocks from the river so we filled our solo cups with beer, grabbed my camera and struck out that way. i've lived in bainbridge now for three years and i'm always seeing something i never noticed or just didnt know was there.
thank you baby for going with me on an afternoon stroll

B's nap

i couldn't help but take these photos of my lil stinkbug taking a nap. She went to sleep holding on to the bracelet she made for her daddy for Father's day and kept it her entire nap. ahhhh, so precious!!!

my pillows

i LOVE my new throw pillows!!

I've been painting for 2 weeks now

so far I have painted a dresser with mirror, a desk, a chair and a magazine rack. I think i'm done for a while. After i finish tonight.

I like projects. This is my latest. I've been inspired and I'm on a mission to figure out this blog thing. Wish me luck!
