"Kidlet as a kitty with her friend, two beds, and a mouse"


My mood has been icky lately so instead of spreading that around, here's something cheerful (see picture above).

One thing that doesn't make me feel icky is that I'm about 90% done with my little bird. This is the first stuffed toy that I've made that has made me down-to-the-bottom-of-my-heart happy. I can't wait to share.

I'm hoping to kick some booty in the yard this weekend but the weather might kick me...90 degrees?! We've leaped right into summer. I can say that now, but it isn't unusual to have a brisk Memorial Day. Well, if the weather kicks my booty, I will finish my bird, make sno-cones and try to find a new book to read. I can't commit to any book lately. Any suggestions?

Have a lovely weekend, friends. Blow some bubbles, will ya? I think I will.

I would offer up a book, but my night stand is full of pregnancy and bringing home the baby books...

Have you picked up "Three Cups of Tea". I read that in Jan. and was hard pressed to put it down.

Kidlet's drawings are so full of detail. They're very impressive!! BTW, W loved receiving her "letter" from her yesterday. :D

I just finished a book called "Love Walked In", which I found quite enjoyable, and a fairly fast read. It started off a little shallow, or so I thought, but I really loved it by the middle. I'm now partway in to one called "Water For Elephants," which I also like quite a bit.
