Pictures for Mom

Image
By
Dear Mom,

I know I just talked to you on the phone, but I wanted to let you know that I love it when you call. It's a wonderful break during my day.
Isn't it ironic that we both started crochet projects around the same time??? Here's the hat I mentioned to you. It was a free pattern I found on the internet ... only hdc. The flower I found on the internet too ... it's made of dc's. Just thought you'd like to see it. It looks adorable paired with the outfit Maryanne has on in the picture ... her pants are a cheetah print. I have plans to make a smaller flower to put atop the white one, but I like it just like this too.

Also, I remember you said you'd like to see what I'd do with a wedding cake. One of my friends at church asked me to make her daughter's wedding cake ... so I practiced on my last cake of my last course. Here are the pictures.

Love you,

Ris

I enjoy our phone calls too. I'll have to try another day at lunch time. I love the hat -- very cute and she looks so happy to be with her Papa. I love the cakes, wow, you were good before but you've taken it up a level. The values cake is great, but the wedding cake is fabulous.

Where did you find your patterns? There is so much on the internet and after sorting through so much and not finding what I wanted I gave up! Especially the flower, i've been wanting to make some for awhile now!
PS Awesome job on the cake - it's amazing!

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
