yesterday....

i finally made two things on my to do list!....


i have been thinking of making a crocheted cupcake for a long time. so my sister wants dessert theme for our swap this month.. so here you go amy! i hope you like!

big yummy ribbon rose on the top and vintage pearls.. from vintage necklace..for sprinkles.


my beighbor asked me to do a christening gown set for her diosito (baby jesus) so i finally made it yesterday also. i wanted it to be fancy... but not too fancy..he is a boy! and a bit royal.



the gold around the hat looks like a halo.. like you see in some old paintings.

so there! two things off of my to do list! yeah!

boo's new friend!

strawberry: hi boo here is a little friend to play with!
boo: ahh do i have to?
strawberry: yes she is a very sweet baby chicken!



boo: you're right she is kinda cute and sweet!



boo: ok baby chicken..you can have some of my cereal!

apple update

My porridge is too hot, my porridge is too cold...
looks like she's eating well! she'll be coming home soon! another boo story will be up today!

finished!

nights of rodanthe! i dunno if it's cause it was so gloomy..or what but i sat and read the whole book in one day. and as usual it is sad.. so i'll put it in your next box amy..so you can read it. no what'll i read now...hmmmm

what's been going on...

i haven't posted much lately. been very busy i guess.
mikey is taking more supplements. they are supposed to help remove toxins from his body. he seems to be doing a little better lately. showing us when he needs diaper and even showing us that he needed to go potty a couple times. his eye contact has improved a bit too. he just seems to be paying a little more attention to things.
he is on spring break this week. so i'll be working with him. we play matching games and his physical therapist left some roller skates for him to try. he actually likes wearing them. i will try to make a video.

as for me and my hubby. we went to the movies twice these past weeks.. which was really fun cause before that we hadn't gone anywhere alone for over a year. mikey is getting respite care now so we are able to go out once in a while yeah!

i am still in a reading mood. i finished message in a bottle. (you were right amy, it was sad!) so when i was a target on friday i picked up nights in rodanthe. just started reading it this morning (i was up at 5:30) and i'm already on page 80! so i might very well finish it today. today is very gloomy. i am catching up on laundry today.

what else... oh yesterday we spent easter with my hubby's family. my mother in law came back from mexico after several months. mikey got some easter goodies from his aunt and uncle.

i guess that's about it..did i tell you i am expecting 2 new nieces or nephews later this year? the sad thing is they they don't live close by. i just adore holding newborns.. anyways i hope everyone had a great easter! i will post soon! i hope...

MY NEW BLYTHE!

my new blythe doll arrived last week. i already gave her bangs and changed two eye chips! she is a cutie! here are some pics for you to see! she is winsome willow.

recent creations

i have been crafting.. just forget to post pics here. so here are some recent things i've made!

now i'm reading...

my sister sent me 4 nicholas sparks books to borrow. so i finished the rescue. i really liked that one cause the woman has a disabled son like me..so i can relate!
so now i'm starting a bend in the road....

oops missed one

oops missed this! i saw this adorable little vintage box.. marked $1.00 and i said ahh how cute!....


then i opened it and to my surprise two vintage silk garters..likely from the 1920's were inside! so i snatched them up! hey only $1.00 how could i resist!

THE HUGE YARD INDOOR YARD SALE

we went to this horribly crowded indoor yard sale on saturday. when we got there the line was so long. so we left and went to the antique mall and came back to no line..weird huh? so i spent a fortune.. just look!


vintage skunk figurine. so cute. reminds me of something that happened when i was a little girl. cost $1.00.


vintage buttons. loved the colors and those very old mother of pearl ones. cost $4.00.


stack of vintage pictures. these are alot! i'll be keeping some and some will go to esty. cost 4.00.



vintage candy box.. cost $2.00 it has all of the candy names on the inside and these cute compartments! great to store embellishments i think!


vintage silk cushion. pincushion? i don't know.. but it's pretty cost .50 cents.

so as you can see i spent a fortune! i probably would have found more goodies but you could barely move in the place!
