Hello Friends! I got a new hard drive and now have Windows 7!!! Yippee!! I can now write new posts and share the latest aprons now in my shop! This is a BBQ version of my Skulls and Roses Hostess Apron. Isn't it cute?!! I am currently making it in a plus size too...hopefully I can get it posted to the shop by tomorrow. Back to work!!  :)

Blogger Changes...really???

Hi Friends!
I am having a hard time posting since they have changed Blogger! For some reason it no longer supports my browser...Hopeful I will figure it out soon! Any tips will be appreciated!!!
Until then please keep checking my shop as I am adding new items all the time! The latest is Crochet 100% cotton Dish Cloths! I would add a picture but... :( Here is the link (I think) never mind....sigh.... http://www.etsy/listing/100827311 maybe this worked. They are really cute...believe me... also coming in different colors!!
 More news...Skippy graduated from High School Friday night! (I would add a picture...but you know...) He and his family are moving back to Savannah and leaving us! He will go to college down there like his sister. Now we are trying to get the house ready to sell and packed up for the movers. Never a dull moment here!
More later when I figure this out.....

Have a great day...or week...!

The Weekend!!

It was a busy Sunday!! Easter, Passover and Sweet Mama's Birthday All in the same day! At church yesterday the whole congregation sang Happy Birthday to her during the service..She was so surprised and happy.

Kojac went to Savannah for Passover so we took Sweet Mama to Longhorn's for dinner Saturday. Of course she got the free desert, an ice cream sundae...which she promptly fed to Precious. It was the only way to share as she only got one spoon!

We had a nice Easter/Birthday lunch at Red's and then spent the rest of the day packing... They are all moving back to Savannah as Kojac inherited his mother's house when she passed away last summer. So after Skippy graduates High School (can you believe it?) they are selling the house and moving the remaining items down there. It is only 2 1/2 hrs away so Sweet Mama and I will be taking road-trips...

I have been busy making new aprons to add to the shop. My latest is teacher aprons. You can see a cute one here - Happy Bugs!!

In honor of Sweet Mama's birthday all BBQ aprons are on SALE! All Misses, Plus Size and Duets are 10% Off until April 30th! Get one for your sweet mama...or yourself!

Remember Mother's Day is May 13th!!

It's Cherry Blossom Time!!

Yes, it's that time again! The Yoshino cherry trees are popping out! My trees have just begun to bloom. Hopefully I will have full blooms like these! This is from a few years ago on the Cherry Bloosom Tour. (Not my trees!)

It is so pretty this time of year. Everything is blooming...Spring has sprung.

But you better look fast...it will be almost 90 by Thursday!

And that means Summer is almost upon us. Not looking forward to a hot summer...but I think that will be the way it is... So enjoy nature's beauty. It won't be here long!

Soon Middle Georgia will be in the Pink!

Now if I could only get rid of the pollen.... :)

Happy St Patrick's Day!!

The Savannah St Patrick's Day parade is over and it did not rain! Well, this picture is from the parade in 1986..and it did rain. And I walked anyway!! It stopped and the sun was out in the end. There were rainbows and leprechans everywhere!!

May the sound of happy music
and the lilt of Irish laughter
fill your heart with gladness
that stays forever after!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

DONE!!

Remember yesterday???

Whew!!! DONE!

It's a Jungle Out There....

In my backyard that is!! Spring has sprung here in Middle Georgia and all that is growing in the yard is weeds. Tomorrow I plan on cutting it...with my push mower! Yep I have an old school mower. Actually we have a guy that cuts the grass but he hasn't started his bi-weekly visits yet! Sometimes Sweet Mama likes it "trimmed" in-between visits. So I got a push mower. That way I don't have to go to the gas station and get gas! It's me and foot power baby!!
This is my challenge! Nice isn't it... I have to get it cut tomorrow because the rain is coming Friday. If I don't.....you may not be able to see the fence from the house!

This was my Tulip tree (Japanese Magnolia) before the last freeze. Now it has little green leaves all over. And the Cherry Trees are starting to bud.

Should be Cherry Blossom time before you know it!!

New and Improved

Hi Friends!

I know I have been missing for awhile.... First, let me say, thank you for a GREAT anniversary sale!! I sold a bunch and made it to 1500 sales!

After the sale my brother LB came to visit from Iowa for a week. It was great weather here...in the mid 70's! Even Beau was happy to see "that girl". You know that they have had a contentious relationship, as she invades HIS screened-in porch all the time. I'm trying to teach him how to share but that's not going any where. Don't tell her but he is happy she has left...

Next I had two,...count them two, bad colds!! I hadn't been sick in years and then two. really...? I hate being sick. And now Sweet Mama has the Shingles! She had the vaccine but got them anyway. It is a light case and hasn't been painful, just very itchy! We got to the doctor right away and hopefully have everything under control...just have to let it run it's course!

In the meantime, I have been working to come up with a new apron. I had a customer want one to fit a size 4x so we worked together to "make it work"! It is adjustable and has longer waist ties. I added two the shop yesterday and one sold! Here is the one still available!! Now I just have to finish the pile on the cutting table and get them listed. If only it would stop raining so I can get pictures!!

So how have you been??
