Reversible Bib

I wanted a project to work on while we relaxed at the beach. So I brought all of the supplies for a reversible bib. Since we are planning a trip to Disney, I appliquéd Mickey on one side. The other side is an airplane. I freehand my designs. The Mickey is an easy one...just find two circles that are proportional to Mickey's face. I drew the airplane while looking at a design online.

Supplies:
Fabric
Felt
Coordinating embroidery thread
Needle
Heat-n-Bond
Iron
Sewing Machine/thread

May Days

Hi! I have been MIA on my blog. Sorry! I do have "stuff"to show off, but for now I'll just tell you about our day.

It still feels good outside in May...warm but not too hot. Today has been great. It began with a brisk walk with my neighbor. Then, my lovely niece came over to hang out for a few hours. The girls swam in the pool until thunder forced us inside.


Then we enjoyed a yummy treat. Banana pudding!!! Isn't that a perfect spring/summer dessert?!


Even Brantley got a special (mushed-up) version.




Now the girls are showing off their art skills on the easels.



Hmmmm...the rain is gone. Maybe it is time to get back in the pool! Toodles!

Easter/Spring Fun-Part 1

So, I haven't posted in a while. Our external hard drive is messed up and that is where my mac is set to store all of my pics. Since I don't know if enough about computers, I haven't been able to go around this. My husband has been far too busy for me to beg him to fix the issue just yet. So, I finally decided to use his laptop. :)
Here are a few pics from our Easter happenings.

This was a family day. We drove to Fairhope and took pics at the pier. Madison had a small egg hunt by the water (mostly so I could take pics).  Then, we ate a yummy lunch while listening to some live music in the quaint downtown area. What a fun day!

This is from our neighborhood Easter egg hunt:

We made Easter cookies with some neighborhood friends. I love the hands on learning of the real Easter story. Madison is old enough now to begin to understand what really happened on Easter Sunday. You can find the recipe here. I completely forgot to take a picture of the baked cookie. Sorry!

This is what has been going on at our house.

I'm not even going to explain why we are having to get a new pool liner-but I will say it wasn't "time" for a new one.



The water is only at about 10 inches right now in the shallow end, AND the water is FREEZING COLD...but my daughter and my husband think it is time to swim.



I attempted to get a cute pic of my frozen popsicle. First, she gave me this cheesy smile. So, I tried to catch her off guard...




She caught on, and ran !




Happy Monday!

My Hubby's 30th Birthday Dinner

Time for the truth....I am married to a younger man. In fact, I am a whole 352 days older. Now that we have entered our 30s he makes fun of me for being "old." Well, at least we are the same age for 13 days. We went out to dinner last night with some of our family. Although the service wasn't great, we always enjoy our time together.

Our family of four:

My hubby's grandparents (I tried 3 times to get a pic that wasn't blurry. Oh, well):
