"Snowflakes"


I've been making some of Patricia Kristoffersen's little doilies lately.  Here are 2 I gave as bridal shower gift in November (along with the beautiful bride-to-be).





Since I forgot to take a picture of them beforehand, I was glad they took this picture!

Sneakers




I made a few alterations to the original pattern.  I did not use the finishing edge, as I thought plain was better for a boy.  I added the eyelet holes for the laces and made the soles white with a black pinstripe.

Painting Season


I live in a brick house.  So painting isn't usually a chore I have outside.  But all the trim was needing it as well as the garage doors.  I have almost completed the front of the house.  I just have my rose trellis wrought iron supports left.






Now I have turned my attention inside.  I hope to get the bathroom renovations finished up by making a curtain, giving the bathroom cabinet a fresh coat of polyurethane, freshening the wall paint, painting the ceilings, and replacing the mirror in the boys' bathroom with a bigger one.  More on that later.

Here are my front flower beds:




And here is our new shed.  My hubby and boys built it and painted it.  My hubby has added shelves.




And he bought me this great tool holder:


Here's my garden this year:



HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
