Some Cupcakes for Valentines Day

Bleuette and Sakura enjoyed cup cakes from Beccasine this year. She takes good care of the kids!

Well, a post a year?

It has been a rough year for me and I am hoping this one to be better. It has already started better as I entered a sewing contest at the Fletcher Pattern Group on Yahoo groups, and WON! The theme was Winter Wonderland and my Peter Pevensie was the target of my sewing. Using a pattern by Fletcher Patterns, "In the Game" I created this ski outfit for him. He, the judges and I were very pleased with the outcome!

I have not been good at posting

............It always amazes me how folks blog every day. But here I am and my thing lately has been to play with Dead Fred, a pen/pencil holder CH got for Christmas. I started posting a daily scene to Face book from 1-11-11 and hope to run through 11-11-11. A limited engagement. Here is a sample.

Spiders in the Yard Gasteracantha cancriformis Spinybacked Orbweaver

Today I found this Spinybacked Orbweaver hanging out in the breeze! Cool huh?

Turning 55

Well I hit the speed limit today! 52 more to go! It did not hurt a bit. I still was able to play dolls and we took a dip in the pool. I had my favorite meal, fish and cucumbers with strawberry cake for dessert!

We can't all be winners

When I visited Costa Rica, I took many wonderful photos of the wildlife in the rain forests. I just recently learned of a contest to design a reusable bag for Kroger so I used a couple of those pictures to make entries. Please visit and have all your friends visit too. Here are direct links to my bags. You can vote for each every day. What fun it would be to see my own bag design for sale in the store!

The kitties are gone!

Kitties have gone to their forever homes! I miss them even though they were never mine...
