It seems like we just put the Christmas tree away, and here it is already the end of the month! Well, for some people...they may HAVE just put the tree away! cough*Karly*cough
Learning about the liver...
...to this. (Much better!)
Attended a mermaid birthday party. Modesty + January weather called for some creativity on my part!
They kind of crack me up. The costumes, not the girls.
A t-rex...
I was impressed by this triceratops...
A long-neck....can't even think of the real names anymore.
Not sure what species this is, but it cost me an entire box of toothpicks!
After--all is hidden.

They kind of crack me up. The costumes, not the girls. We are very into dinosaurs around here. Yes, in a girl house!
I've sewed Chomper, Little Foot, and Spike so far. Three more to go. I'm sick of dinosaurs, by the way. But this little sweetie loves them.

I also transformed some things around the house.

Wow, what great pictures. I'm inspired! Love how those jeans turned out. And the school room. And the bathroom curtains. You have really done a great job. How about coming by my place and helping me? Texas is not too far from Indiana???? :o)

ReplyDeleteHi again. I tried to post, but somehow I ended up on my husband's name. That's why Quentin showed up (;
ReplyDeleteYou're right... You have had a busy month. I don't seem to get as many of my projects done as you do.
Love the bathroom curtains - the one for the window was such a subtle change yet it made the window look huge!
ReplyDeleteAnd that capris idea was fantastic! They turned out really cute.
Did I miss your birthday? I'm thinking I wished you happy birthday, but if not...happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the classroom and their mermaid costumes!
And I love love LOVE the capris! YAY BRENDA! So crafty!
Annie--give me a break girl! I have way fewer kiddos than you AND I'm not in the middle of moving!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBesides, I didn't show you the things that I DIDN'T get done!
Thanks for sharing part of your month; you make me smile! LOVE your creativity and honesty...

Love the mermaid costumes! And the capri's too. Good work. I really enjoy glimpses of your creativity and sewing talent, as I have very little of either.
ReplyDeleteI think I already wished you a happy birthday, but just in case I didn't, Happy Birthday.
Wow, girl, you have been busy. I love the sassy capri's and your window covering. too cute!
ReplyDeleteI have also forgotten the names of the dino's. Weren't they all named little foot???
Oh my gosh Brenda!! You have totally inspired me today! I love all your cleaning up and beautifying projects! You are doing SO well! Keep it up and keep showing us pictures! They are fun to see...I love before and after pictures!
ReplyDeleteThose jeans are SO CUTE!!! I am tempted to want to start to sew again, but then I remember the knitting needles and yarn in my closet, all the pinning and ironing and cutting required to sew, and I have decided I will live out my sewing dreams vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteIs that alright?
