It's a Boy

Good morning my blog peeps. And a belated Happy Easter to you all.  I had a four day weekend to spend with the family and enjoyed it immensely.  My daught had here first day of the season at the  golf course raking (she's glad to be back to work, running out of money).  And my son started two jobs, at the golf course and at Walmart. This is his first job.

  I hope you have a nice sunny day where ever you are.  Today we are cloudy and rainy.  I did manage to get a walk in this morning with Maxwell before the rain.  The big drops started falling as we were walking in the driveway.  

I am really enjoying my new work space.  Although I'm still trying to organize and find space for everything.  But I do clear the clutter to do some creating every now and then when I can find the time.  

Here is a simple baby card.  Love the  little cutie stamped image.  

As always I'm on the run.  Many things to get done before work.  Hope you have a great creative day.

Baby Fever

Evening blogging friends.  Hubbie is having a baby boom at the office again.  The same three ladies as two years ago, all having girls then.  The one from the office has had hers, a boy.  One of the daughters from another co-worker has had hers too, a boy as well.  The other one is due in April, along with a friend of ours.  So I'm busy with knitting and making baby cards.

Last night I made hubbie a card to sent from the office.  Why just make one.  I did one for a boy and one for a girl.

When walking the dog lately, I've been taking him out back on our trail so he doesn't have to be on leash.  He is able to run free and just loves it.  Hubbie and son keep the path shoveled all winter which makes walking very easy.  Maxwell loves running the trail.  He usually runs ahead, I'll hang back and call him back.  Working on his come and giving him extra exercise.  Today I took a video of him letting out his Mad Max side.

Well I must get off to bed.  Have to work tomorrow.  Hoping for more than two hours of sleep tonight.

For Baby Girl Butler

Morning everyone.  I really have to get back into the swing of things.  It's coming slowing.  My actual work area is now finished.

 There is Maxwell, patiently waiting.  I am slowly finding a home for everything.  I find it's alot of trial and error.  Find it a home, move it here, change how it's being stored, move it over there.  It's a slow process.  You can see to the left that the computer area is coming along as well.  We put a big push on it because we are now into Fall Season and it's cooler and rainy.  We do all the cutting outside because it makes such a mess.  So the bulk of it has to be done before the snow.

Back to my projects.  A couple of nights ago I attended a baby shower.  It's been forever since I've been to one.  Felt a little out of place because I didn't know very many attending.  The proud parents to be are friends of ours.  Hubbie plays on-line gaming with him.  So I knew the couple, his parents, and her sister and brother in-law.  It actually turned out to be a huge surprise for the couple.  She is from England, which is where all here family is.  Their wedding was actually in England and we traveled over for it.  The host of the party arranged for the sister and brother in-law and their little guy to come over for the shower.  It was so good to see them.  Anyway, I have been working on this adorable little sweater set.

Love the colors.  The body of it is sooo full, bottom row has around 400 stitches.  And of course I managed to complete a card to go with it.

I love this little hedgehog image from Penny Black.  The little safety pins on the card base are in the same set.  I stamped them on with versa mark and added flamingo pink pearl ex to give them sparkle and color.

Hope everyone has a great day.  I'm off to work after having 4 days off.

ALL Things Grow With Love

Afternoon blog friends. Look at me go.  I have completed another card.  A simple background done with distress ink and a die cut.  A little more distress ink on the edges of a circle.  The little cutie was stamped and colored with pencils.  I then fussy cut her out, and mounted her with foam squares.  I will be ready for the next baby explosion.

Welcome Baby

Afternoon everyone.  What a beautiful day we are having here.  nice bright warm sunshine.  I even ventured out for a walk down the road.

Here is my card to go with the final baby sweater.  I sponged the background with a stencil and distress ink. Stamped the little froggie and colored him with pencil crayons.

CHALLENGE
Case this Sketch - #120

I'm sorry I can't get the sketch to show up.  It's 11:30 when I've gotten back to my post to finish this.  After picking up my daughter from school and taking her to dentist.  And picking my son up because he hurt himself on the way to the skate park after school.  Only to have to take him to the hospital after dinner because he couldn't put any weight on his knee.  After two and half hours they were sending us home with a strained knee.  With orders to not do anything that hurts it.  So I ask, "how do I get him to walk when he can't put any weight on his knee?" So the doctor asks "Would crutches help?" Do you think?

Busy Knitting Wee Things

Morning blog friends. Just when our snow was beginning to dissappear and we thought there was still hope to see spring. We wake up to a layer of snow this morning. Will it ever go away?

There seems to be a baby boom at hubbies office.   I have three sweeters to complete.  This one I'm sharing today was for one of the ladies first grand-daughters.  I have one more to do for her, as her other daughter is expecting any time too.  The third that I'm working on now, is for a co-worker of his.  I better hurray up, or baby will have outgrown it.  The wee thing is almost a month old now.  That is a good project to work on today as I watch the snow falling outside.

Don't know if any of you have played Trivia Crack? Over the weekend my daughter got me playing.  We've had alot of fun with it.  She doesn't like it when I ask hubbie for answers.  You should try it out.

Long weekend

Once again the weekend is here and its raining. All day Saturday, although I worked all day so it really didn't matter to me. But Randy wanted to do some tree trimming from the winter damage, he had to wait till late afternoon when it cleared.

Here is another baby card and the last one I have made. I like the cute carrage. I colored it with marker.

Have a happy evening.

Cold season

I thanked my son today for sharing his cold with me. If the kids get sick I usually get it too. The soar throat, runny nose, ( I can't believe your nose can run so much), runny eyes, and sooo tired.

Here is a card to match the last one. One for a girl and one for a boy. The fox I stamped with the glue pad and flocked it. So he is fuzzy.

Keep smiling and I'll talk to you later.

Happy day :0)

Baby cards

This weekend was really nice. Although it rained all day Saturday. I was home with the family. I did some card making. After supper we went across the road to visit the neibours. It was a very nice evening. They have a son in collage who is home for the summer, and a daughter in high school. Their two took our two downstairs, and that was pretty much the last time we saw them till just after 11 when they wanted to go home. They had such a good time. Although the 188 summersalts Sam did made her neck hurt. And the attatude from a 10 yr old when she doesn't get her sleep. Sunday was a little touchy. But mothers day was nice. Subs for dinner so I didn't have to cook. Not much yard work done, it was quite cool out. Randy did polish the rims on the tires of both cars.

Last week I was asked for a baby card. I only had a couple made up so what a good excuse to make a card. I need more of a variety. This week I have several baby cards to show.

I stamped the bird stamp with my glue pad then put yellow flock on, to add a bit of color to the bird I put a bit of stickles on the flower.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day

Happy Monday
