Anything Goes Blog Hop

Stop and Smell the Roses

 I love roses. They are a passion of mine.
I have a variety growing throughout our yard with each
being more beautiful than the one before. 

Sometimes we pass up the most beautiful things that are right in front of our eyes.

The Red Rose has always been a symbol of love and affection.

" Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, 
be happy that the thorn bush has roses."

" Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, 
there is a rose that's worth all the pain."

" True love is not without pain, like that of thorns in your side. 
Yet love is like the rose in full bloom, beautiful and full of life."

" You cannot pluck roses without fear of thorns, 
Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of thorns."
(Ben Franklin)

I wanted to show you a couple that have just came into bloom.  

Ok now, Let's get on to the

Anything Goes Blog Hop.

Blueberry Muffins

 

 

Blueberry Muffins

 

I absolutely love blueberries.  So we often have blueberries in some form or another. 

This morning I couldn't decide if I wanted fresh or cooked so we had both.

 

These beautiful muffins are chocked with fresh blueberries and topped with

cream cheese sauce and for then fresh blueberries on the side.

 

I feel healthier already.  This is such a well rounded breakfast, lol.

I have fruit, dairy, bread, cheese, wow how healthy am I?

 

As you all know by now you all are invited to drop in for coffee and muffins.

So come on over and enjoy these with us.

 

 

Oh, hey guys, so sorry but I have to cancel your invitation to come over

All the muffins are gone.  Sorry.

Cow in a New Dress

Hello Everyone

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Jacob is asleep so I can work on my blog now.

Life around my house is never without something to do.  Whew, I'd forgotten how hard it is taking care of a little one.  I feel as if I run from the time I wake up until he tires out for the night. 

I guess that's why we have children in our youth.  I could probably write an entire blog about having children in your middle age.  Of course it is good that I have a full life of knowledge to better care for him and I've been a nurse forever which keeps me from being in the pediatricians office weekly. 

Now, I just need a caffeine IV to keep my energy up.  I am drinking about 10 coffee a day now as sleep is no longer an option.  LOL

However I have been working on an Easter present for a sweet little girl.

She loves animals, so I purchased this cute little cow at Walmart and started working on this little ruffled dress for her.  It's far from perfect but I like it anyway.  I've got some more work to do but so far, so good.  I have enough material for a little cap but I'm not sure how to make it yet. 

I'll figure something out, I still have time.  It won't be perfect but I think she will like it.

She gave Jacob his first kiss so she won my heart and I have to do something special for her.

Jacob of course pushed her away and said, "Yuck" but she didn't seem to mind.

Hope you like it.

Best

Denim Bag

 

 

 

Hello Everyone

 

Hope you all had a wonderful day.  Mine was full as always. 

Jacob has more energy than I know what to do with. 

However I've been working on a special project.  I love playing with denim.  I've lived in jeans all my life.  So I guess it's only natural that I like making crafts out of denim. 

 

Below is a little bag/purse that I've been working on. 

I've got a special event coming up soon and I wanted to create something for the occasion. 

 It's actually going to be a gift. 

 

I purchased a new pair of jeans and created the bag from them. 

I also like buttons and they make such cute decorations. 

The buttons are attached with ric rac to laced trim. 

I found some clear plastic handles that I thought went well with it at Joann's. 

The little pockets are small for a cell phone or whatever you wanted to carry.

 

I have a little insert that I'm working on and will post it when I have it completed. 

 

 

Anyway, I hope you like my little creation.  I'm having fun working on it.

 

Have a great day or night depending on where you are.

 

Best

 

Angel
