What I've been doing..

Since Robbie moved in I have moved the sewing machine down to my house....so I got in the mood to use it a bit...I made a skirt from some denim shorts...so I could have a shorter jean skirt for summer.

Today I just finished a project that I plan to use as a coffee table...it is made of a wood box that I'm sure was made by Mom and an old suitcase from Mom...it still has a bunch of double knit material cut in squares .... some are sewn in blocks....maybe I can some day do something with them.

Coffee table

Thanks to Janna for my sewing machine quilt...I like it!!!...

Laundry...

I do most of the laundry here so this is a project that Alicia and I wanted made, so we could store the laundry baskets out of the way and make a little more room in the laundry room...entryway from the garage.

Chris and Robbie created it and I helped with the painting and now it's in and I just gave ot a trial run...we'll need to get baskets to fit as they could only raise the washer and dryer so far... I like it!! and Alicia hasn't seen the finished project yet.

Loving the outdoors...

Mason is loving the nice weather...there are lots of tears when he has to come in...this morning Daddy and Uncle Robbie were putting the stand under the washer and dryer.. of course he needed to be right there..

When he wasn't there he was outside finding the mud and snow the play in...shoes are muddy and the seat of his pants are wet....but he's having fun!!!

There were tears when they came in to have lunch..until...he heard there was pizza at Granny's house....here is evidence of what he has been into...pizza, paint, mud, and juice that Daddy put in a pop bottle.. Oh a sore on the forehead,too.

I'm not tired!!

sitting around the table....

Saturday we were sitting around the table with our laptops visiting when Janna came up with a sewing project and asked it anyone would like to do some hand sewing?? So Janna and I were hand sewing and Mom was cutting up some old clothes and cutting them into quilt squares....Alicia at this moment was taking pictures!! Mom just mentioned that we were having a "ladies aide"... funny and with three generations of ladies... Good memories. Thanks to Alicia for the pictures!!

Weekend in Minnesota

This past weekend we.. Chris,Alicia, Shawn, Mason and I took a trip to see Mom. We left on Friday after Alicia got off work and were going to see how the trip went as to wether we would go by the farm...this did not happen as Mason was not liking the trip toward the end. We went to Sibley and picked Mom up and took her with us to stay at Janna's for the weekend.
We just did whatever on Saturday and Sunday to meeting and then lunch and headed home about 3 o'clock...the roads were wet when we left but by Albert Lea they were dry and the sun came out...really glad for the good roads especially this time of the year.
The boys had a lot of fun together and Chris got the snowmobile running and that really added to the fun.!!!
