Happy St Patricks Day!





St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

 So wear your green, dance the jig, feast and drink!!
Have a wonderful day!!

Official Hive Creative Challenge Spring!




Here is Rozalin my spring bunny for the challenge. Rozalin is dressed in bright polka dot dress. She looks like she is ready for spring and Easter. She is holding a big carrot, a rabbits dream! I might list her on the Doll town or Etsy. Hope you enjoy!

Daylight Savings Time...

Daylight Saving Time gives us the opportunity to enjoy sunny summer evenings by moving our clocks an hour forward in the spring.


Yet, the implementation of Daylight Saving Time has been fraught with controversy since Benjamin Franklin conceived of the idea. Even today, regions and countries routinely change their approaches to Daylight Saving Time.

I ask why did we have to start doing this again? For years we didn't change our time. A few year ago our wonderful Governor (cough cough) changed this. I am a creature of habit when it comes to sleep. I don't set an alarm I just wake up at about 5:00 am. Do you know what this does to me? I am a mess for weeks, tired and not hungry when it is my lunch time. Yes I woke up at 6:00 this morning, won't work tomorrow. When we change back I will be waking up at 4:00.
As for my children, Blake gets on the bus at 6:20. It is pitch black out. It was getting light when Makayla got on at 7:00. Now it will be pitch black out when she gets on the bus. All the high school kids will be driving and getting on buses when it is black out. A couple of the middle schools will also be getting on buses when it is black out. Dangerous ! Yes just so we can have more light in the evening. Kids will be staying up later and not functioning in school.
Does this save any real utility cost? Facts show it doesn't. My thoughts are if it is not broke don't fix it!!

We won!

Yes we won ! Now we play champion game on Wednesday evening! Way to go girls. It was awesome, I was so excited I could not get any real good pictures. Makayla sunk a 3 pointer right at the half time buzzer! It was sweet. My hands were so red and swollen by the end of the game. I sprayed the girls hair blue, they loved it. I did get a good picture of Makayla and Keanna guarding the basket. The other is Makayla driving the ball to the basket. You girls rock and Good Luck Wednesday!

Sassy and her bee



This is Sassy the cat and her buzzing bee. I hope to get her listed on Ebay by tomorrow. Not quite happy with the bee, it has been one of those days nothing seems to come out right. Everything I seem to try to get done seems to flop. So I am hanging it up for the day. Maybe I will just try cleaning up my studio so I can be more productive! LOL Enjoy

Birthday gift for my Mother





This wrap is a Birthday present for my sweet Mother. Her Birthday is Sunday and she will be 89, no dull boring things for her. I used two different yarns and my big needles. Some Black and Gold for a Purdue fan! I just need to create some sort of pin or flower to set it over the top. I think she will look so cute in the one!
Hope you enjoy

Fun and Funky!

Yes, I am still knitting and made this scarf from my fun yarn I purchased a short time ago. I love the colors in this yarn and used my big needles. I am practicing with them for my over the top piece that I hope to start this weekend. I hope it turns out like the vision I have in my head. It is getting kind of crowded in my Artistic memory bank and need to get some things out of my head and  made. As it has been quite spring like this week, my bead table and my sewing machine are beckoning me to come play! Have a wonderful weekend!
