I Love Great Surprises!!!

Wow! I was surprised! I went to my book club the other night. We had been on a break since our last book finished, one got married, and well life in general intervened for a few weeks...actually a month. They had a surprise birthday party for myself and another friend, Sandi! We had cupcakes made in ice cream cones...so cool and actually easy to eat! Got to remember that idea. Wish I had a picture to show you. Anyhow, they are the best! Many Thanks! It truly made my day, week, year...very nice. ~Paula

Butterflies...

I added a few butterflies to this simple store bought t-shirt for a special little girl! I drew the design on paper and cut out the fabric butterflies. Once I positioned on the shirt I outlined in a tight zig zag and made the little antenaes. This was a quick fun project that is sure to add a little joy to any little girl!

To catch up on my previous posts, I did make my century mark! Yeah! Hard to believe I have ran 100 miles since January...however I had to stop running over the last few weeks. I am back at it this week and looking forward to more centuries to pass...especially when my asthma specialist told me that if he hadn't known I was on medication he would have thought I had normal lungs! Wow, what a difference a little exercise can make! That made my week. Now if live oak trees didn't bother me so much...I know, that is what treadmills are for.

Happy sewing!

Awwwww...Spring!

My son and I enjoyed the butterfly display at the Ft. Worth Arboretum this week. A lovely white paper butterfly here. We had a few land on us and a lot flutter about us. It was such a happy feeling to be surrounded by them...so colourful too!

My new butterfly trip inspired designs will be showing up soon...keep posted.

Happy days to everyone!

Bathing is So Overrated...

When you look this good, who needs to bath?
I guess this is a little telling of the condition of my porch...I suppose I should sweep it or something. Hard to believe we had snow last Monday and Thursday and now we are at 75 degrees. Wow! Well, I have a hot date with those tennis shoes in the picture there...off I go. I have passed the 80 mile mark, I let you know when I hit the century. :) Have a great week! ~Paula

The Queen, herself, actually

Nuff said.

Yes, she rules my world. :) (from the top of my pillows...silly girl.)
