Sew Lady-like


I guess it's pretty obvious by now.... I LOVE ladybugs!
I bought the adult button-up shirt for $1.50 from K-Mart at the
end of summer last year.
Can you believe that- $1.50? I bought one in every color. What a deal...
I never shop at K-Mart, just happened to pop in that day.
You can bet, I will be popping in again.


I attended a luncheon at my daughter's school yesterday and thought it would be cute to wear matching shirts for the day.

Time for tea

A few months ago I hosted a small Pennie Pocket Swap.

As a "thanks for playing" gift, I made and mailed each person 
one of these little coasters.


The tag says "Sewing is my cup of tea".



I thought they turned out kinda cute.

Ship Ahoy !

This little ensemble started out as an old pair of jeans with
a hole in them.
 One thing led to another.....


...and now my daughter has a whole new outfit !
I cut the jeans off to make shorts, but couldn't stop there - I just had to embellish them. I decided she couldn't have a "new" pair of shorts without a shirt to match. Now, with a matching beach towel....
Miss Polly will be riding on the boat in style!

Oakleigh's artwork


Isn't this sweet?

My precious Miss Oakleigh coloring pictures for my fridge.
Aren't they pretty?


Needing to express her creativity a bit more...
she chose to decorate a boring, blank wall in my dining room. 
Isn't it beautiful?


I too, felt a need to express my creativity a bit more, and embroidered her a new outfit...

Quick embroidery and....


AWESOME smoked chicken !
My husband purchased a large smoker/grill a few months ago and...
WOW... can he cook!


We had about 18 friends and family attend
"Jerry's backyard BBQ" yesterday.
What a great way to spend Memorial Day.
