Ribbon Baby Toy Holders :)

I have been getting fed up of trying to find baby links or things that will hold a baby toy hanging from the stroller, or from the coat hook in the car. I decided to make my own! The first one didn't work as I used velcro & Emmitt just pulled them off!! These are now held with snaps & I have put buttons on the front to cover where the snaps are stitched on. I made 4 so far I know the pinky one is for a girl, but you never know if someone might like them!!





I'm going to make more & hopefully sell them on Etsy!

What's your favorite home cooked meal :)

Hi my blogging friends. In the next 3 weeks my parents are coming to visit from the UK for a month. They are coming out to meet their Great Grandson. Here is a picture of my parents when they were over in 2006.



What i was hoping is if you could all share your faorite recipe. I will need to have menu's for the 4 weeks. I have my favorites, but it would be good to incorporate yours too!

Planting & growing :)

Normally when I get some free seeds through the mail, they don't always grow! I had some free seeds come back in January. Two weeks ago I planted them all in one pot on the deck. Low & behold they started sprouting!!



This morning I started transplanting some of them into 2 pots. Once they get a bit more sturdy I want to put them in the garden :)



When I was in Sam's Club last week I saw a bag of 30 bulbs. They were Caladium plants which have different colored leaves. The only problem is you won't know until they grow, what you have planted! I have already put 4 outside in a circular flower bed. I planted 5 more today in pots.



Hopefully once they are all flowering & the plants arre showing their glorious colored leaves I will be able to post & show you!!

Check out this great Country Trio!

As I seem to be bringing people to your attention, I thought I would introduce you to this new Country Trio!

Brandy's sister is involved with one of the Trio, his name is Duane Allison & the Trio goes by the name of One Night Rodeo

One Night Rodeo recently won the Great American Country and Music Nation's Next GAC Star competition. Listen to this video & you will see why they are going to be a name to remember!!

Day of Silence for Japan

I took this from a fellow bloggers page, I thought it worth posting today.




Please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives to this devastation.

Please check out this great Artist!

I have met a wonderful Artist through a friend. His name is Lauri Kaihlanen & he lives in Bearskin Neck in Rockport, Massachusetts. He does whimsical prints, as well as painting wildlife, scenes & pet portraits.

I recently brought some of his whimsical prints to go on Emmitt's nursery wall, they are so colorful, that's what's so striking about them!



This last week I sent him some photo's of our 2 Irish Setters who we lost 9 & 8 years ago. Lauri is going to paint head shots of them & I am surprising my Hubby with them for his Birthday :)

Please go check out his Website, you are going to fall in love with Kaihlanen Gallery!!
