I Love To Crochet

I crochet so much I'm beginning to dream about it...take a look at some of my new items and let me know what you think?

Sips and Strokes

Another night at sips and strokes. We had two newbies this time mom and my friend Erica. Lots of fun to be had at sips and strokes. There were about 70 ladies stuffed into a room to paint a martini picture. Lets just says lots of talking and lots of laughing. I didn't do so well with my painting this time, but I'm sure I will find somewhere to put it.

M5CC

Last night I got invited by my friend Kali (above) to the Counting Crows and Maroon 5 concert. It is finally starting to cool off in Birmingham and the concert was outside. Live music, a cool breeze and good company made for a wonderful evening!

Whistle Stop Festival

This weekend mama, Heidi (sister-in-law) and I did had a booth at the Whistle Stop Festival. We had a great day and the weather could not have been more beautiful.

A bouquet for baby

My crafting juices have been flowing this weekend! My mom showed me this article out of her Woman's Day magazine and I had to make this beautiful bouquet. It is made from onesies, hats, socks and washcloths. I am so excited to present mine to a beautiful mom-to-be tomorrow at a baby shower. This was so much fun to make. Check mine out below. I used yellows and greens because the parents are not finding out the sex of their baby.

Weekend in Review

My friend Kassie invited me to go to the artwalk downtown this weekend. This is her, however this is not a picture from the weekend. I just wanted you to know who I was talking about. There were lots of talents artists and there are so many creative people in Birmingham.

Most of you know I have a really hard time going to an art show/festival without buying something. This time was no different. I usually get jewelry, but I have seen these recycling paintings at several art shows and have been wanting one. So yeah you guessed it, this is now mine! I put it right on the mantel so it can stare at us. I don't think Jeff thinks that is the best spot for it, but it is staying there for now.
So today I walked into the bathroom to get ready to go to the gym and this is what I found. Yep little Sunday squeezed herself right into the sink and I'll have to be honest she looked so cute and comfy that I just left her there. Crazy kitty!

Gustav

We were able to get in a little vacation despite the threat of a hurricane. The waters were rough. I have never seen waves so big and the red flag was out to remind us we were not to get in the water. That did not stop some people though and Jeff and Jay got in up to their knees.

We put all the chairs in the pool so they would not blow away or into the windows overnight.
We enjoyed the pool when the weather was calm.

and no bad weather can stop the enjoyment of ICE CREAM!
