food, crochet, merriment
Fact #1 I’m a very patriotic person. I decorate in red, white and blue from Memorial Day to Labor Day. My phone case is a US flag. It’s fair to say, that the USA chant is embedded in my heart and soul.
Fact #2 I love kitties. All shapes and sizes and I have pretty much had a cat in my life since I was 4 years old, with no end in sight. In fact, there are 5 baby kittens running around my feet as I’m typing. I adore them.
Fact #3 I need this shirt.
The End
…right this minute.
Grapefruit flavored…anything. I LOVE grapefruit!!!
This little kitty who just sits and watches me work at my computer…sweet little thing.
The beautiful flags that were giving out freely at the Summerfest parade.
Ridiculous stickers that honestly belong on my water bottle.
Super lame earrings that can easily and quickly be turned into a perfect, patriotic necklace. So there.
Finding a hidden note in my sewing bag from a sneaky, adorable granddaugher.
Watching Project Hail Mary for the 2nd time and crying even harder than the first time. Oh, my gosh–I love this movie!
Finding mountains of yarn –one of my favorite things to sort.
Finding an actual shoebox full of embroidery floss–another one of my favorite things to sort. More on that later.
Having a no-time-frame crochet project in my To-Go bag, at all times.
What about you? What are you loving right this minute?
…who do a mama proud.
All these cute people showed up again this year to compete in the Strawberry Days E-Sports Dr. Mario and/or Smash Bros. competition.
These lovelies came to play…
Mario Kart…
or just to play.
Now, I could show you a ton of pictures of people playing video games where our guys played each other…
and then they played some new people…
and a few from last year.
Some games were casual…
Some were intense.
Then they came around to playing…
each other…
again…
and again!
Honestly, if you’re going to compete…
you better be having a good time.
Or what…
is…
the actual…
point?
Heh, heh.
Just tidying up a bookshelf the other day and waaaay in the back of a top shelf, I found this little guy. Allll alone…without his mama. Now, under normal circumstances, I would have said, “Hooray!! I’ve found the missing baby to our nativity set! Wahooo!”
There’s just one problem…
We haven’t actually lost the baby from any of our sets. And we don’t even have a set like this. I mean, dude–it’s JUNE! How long has this poor baby been hanging out without his people?!! Where are his people anyway?!
Somebody call Child Protective Services! Heads will roll!
Hmmmmmm…
No, don’t.
On second thought,
He can stay with me.
These adorable kiddos had a booth at the Orem Kid’s Market this year. The idea is that everything here is suppose to be made by kids and sold by kids.
I think they did an incredible job!
Honestly–how could you possibly NOT buy stuff from these little cuties?
I wasn’t able to be there in person, but Jillian kindly gave me a virtual tour so that I could make snatch what I wanted remotely. As you can see from all my loot at the bottom–I made out like a bandit!!
It was a great cause and for wonderful kids– that I adore.
You know what I always say–
“ANYthing for you, my darlings!!”
