Meet my sister, Sherie

I've talked about her (a lot, maybe, ok) now she is blogging!

Is the circus in town?

The prep work for our "event" was extensive and difficult. The tent in the background took seven people and an entire hour of discussing the correct placement of poles, pegs and ropes. One know-it-all suggested "mocking up" the thing and was severly mocked for the suggestion. Darn it, I was tired.... Day two, we left it to the professionals. Cory and Collin were perfectly capable and the second tent went up in no time at all. With just the two of them. Not seven of us running into each other and numerous clown antics.
There was one mishap, the sledgehammer didn't survive..... Collin went to hunt up another. I nearly died laughing when he walked around the corner with this sophisticated piece of equipment. I mean really, that was the hammer we needed the day before!
All's well that ends well. Thank goodness for strong capable guys, even if they use a clown hammer.

Neglected garden

I do think the web is very cool .......

Little Gifts

This is a quick project I did to include in some gift boxes I am sending out (someday) they are lavendar sachets like what I have up in the shop but they are smaller and the ribbon I added on them is positioned to hook onto hangers ... I guess the other ones could go on a hanger too... but I like this version more because there isn't as much ribbon to get caught up on stuff. Anyway they are just fun and something extra for some gift boxes...

not sure if I will make more to sell or not. I want to find a specific potpourri that I like to make some for myself but I cant seem to find anywhere that sell anything but the big chunky decorative stuff... yuck...I am not sure what the point of typing that last sentence was but I am just annoyed about it... so I guess you all should know about it!

This is where matt has been and will be for the next week (if the patches aren't sewn on right I dont want to know I did the best I could with a retarded diagram) I will be joining him tomorrow for the weekend and will hopefully have lots of fun pictures to share when I return so you wont be seeing me around these parts for a little while... but good news he passed his radar thing (which was the whole point of this trip) and he just finished his M-9 qualifications and scored highest in the group as a sharpshooter... we'll see if he can keep this up through the pool day...ahem...
