Ground Cheerios Anyone?

Here is a puddle that I am overjoyed to appreciate.

Of course, there is a big mess to clean up.

But really, not so big in the long run.

And besides, I have a chorus of baby giggles to serenade me, and chubby fingers learning how to clean up.

And most important of all, best friends in the making.

It’s all about perspective, ladies.

Have a wonderful day.

PS While my Mom is having technical difficulties at her house (I won’t mention what problems she’s having, only that it has to do with her internet and a certain company’s less-than-advertised “spirit of service”…) I’m charged with keeping you all entertained. Hopefully she’ll be back to her regularly scheduled antics tomorrow.

Joy In the Journey

all-my-stuff-037

“This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now.”

The Voting Is In…

The silly little flapper hat that got the most votes was #2 by a landslide. So now that we know which hat is the winner—we need to find the person winner.

This soft little thing would most likely fit a 1 or 3 year old–depending on…well, you know, how big their head is. If you win it and it doesn’t fit the intended noggin–I’ll just make another one…while I’m in this erratic, crocheting-like-a-wild-woman-phase. For those of you who emailed and asked about different sizes—I’ll get on that ASAP. Baby sizes, grown-up sizes–I’ll give it a whirl and we’ll see what works. Stay tuned.

Oh, and if you’d like to win this giveaway—just leave a comment  on this post.  We’ll choose a winner on Friday morning at 10am.

Good luck, guys!

Oh, April’s site is super cool and fun!!! I love it. I wish her the best of luck and hope that I might win the giveaway because I have looked for a background to fit my Dots and Clovers blog… and it does not exist as far as I can find. I wish her luck and will tell people about her.
