A few weeks ago I was rummaging through one of my favorite local thrift stores (Kiwanis) and found two pillow cases. The main portion was this fabric and then there was a red and also a blue strip on the end. Then someone had embroidered their boys names on the cases. I didn't even think to snap a pic. Anyways...I took them both apart and used part of them to make this cute little jon-jon. I think it would be great for a little brother to wear to cheer his older siblings at their b-ball games.

A new pet???

It has been very dry here this year. Without much rain, we have been getting a lot of birds in the pool looking for water and somewhere to cool off. Today for lunch we had a new visitor. Hubby saw him slithering around the back door. When he went out a few minutes later to see if he was still there, he found him taking a little swim.

Teacher tote bags

I was wondering what to make Robbie's teacher's for an end of the year thank you gift. I figured most teacher's could always use more tote bags for all the books and things they need to carry around. When I told Robbie what I made, he said it would be perfect, 'cuz his teacher always needs more bags to carry all her books. Excellent!!
