Lily saw this top and asked if I could make it.
Pfffft.
Of course, my dear.
Of course, my dear.
We tweaked a tiny bit so that it was longer and covered more of her shoulder.
You know what I always say…
“Anything for you my dah-ling.”
Skitty
Another birthday we have this month is our little month is our sweet little Lily. She asked if I could make the Pokemon character named Skitty for her. There are some really clever people in this world–and I’m not one to reinvent the wheel…so to speak. So, I found the perfect pattern at Sabrina’s Crochet. Thanks Sabrina, for saving me time–and well, just saving me–if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know. Pokemon are very strange creatures. But this one wasn’t so bad, in fact it was dang fun…
and not nearly as weird as some of them that I’ve seen.
Thank Heaven no one has asked me to make something, you know… creepy.
But then, I’m not finished yet.
Haha.
With The Kids
While my daughter April went to Quilt Market, in Texas–I got to stay behind (wahhh!) and take care of the kiddos (hooray!). We actually had tons of fun just hanging out, doing homework, annnnnd….
putting together a gargantuan 1000 piece puzzle. I wasn’t sure that they’d care ANYthing about such a huge thing with such teeny, tiny pieces.
But they did. We spent hours and hours sitting at the table talking, and laughing, and finding pieces for each other. Probably helped that it was a puzzle about candy.
It also helped that we had plenty of Cheetos on hand. Speaking of hands, look what I found.
Skeleton Cheetos!!! Whoever heard of such a thing?
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
As if Cheetos needed to get any better. These ones were white cheddar flavored. Oh, my goodness…YUM.
This little guys is yelling, “SAVE ME!!”
Too late.
Heh, heh, heh.
Soccer Guy and the Cheerleader
Girls’ Night
 So, with Beckham away, on his first Father and son’s camp out–Lily decided that she would be needing a girl’s night out. We all agreed.
Even the one boy who got to come.
Naturally, a million pounds of pizza was in order…
and doing girl-type stuff in the backyard that didn’t include monsters, zombies or bad guys. Just swinging and playing house and taking turns being “the mom.”
Then back inside to watch Pocahontas with it’s funny critters…
and magical love songs…
and lots of popcorn.
Next everyone chose their favorite color of toenail polish…
applied by Aunt April–
of course.
This was so much fun that the girls are trying to figure out how to get the guys to leave again someday very soon. It shouldn’t be too hard.
As long as we don’t tell them about the pizza.
