Ballet is done for another year.

At the end of may we got to go watch the girls in their ballet class, it was pretty amazing to see how much they have grown and learned this pass year. I love the structure of ballet and how it teaches these little girls how to stand tall using their cores to make them into beautiful dancers.

COWS COWS and MORE COWS

I love this picture, we went out branding at my friend ginger's parents for may long weekend....and LOVED it. What a experience it was, the smells and sounds will probably haunt me until next year when we do it again....I have to laugh at how destressed the moms get to be away from their calfs when they left them in the first place. If they were smart they would stand their ground because really who could take on a big mama cow?? They start calling for their baby and the drool is just a dripping.They are so happy to be reunited.

Clint's job is to burn off the horns if there are any and let me just say that is quite the job, the smoke up in your face holding the head so you can get at them.....I think I was much suited to be behind the camera, that was about as much action as I could handle.

My first chenille blanket

Here is my first attempt at making a chenille blanket. I gave it to my neighbors across the street when they had their first baby girl. It turned out so pretty, I had so much fun making it. I even bought a special chenille cutter, it made cutting the three layers so easy and even.

March at a glance!!

So much to update to everyone, Last weekend my cousin came over and we made a pair of p.j.s I think they turned out super cute although you can't see the fabric great in this shot.
second I am sure some of you out there have heard about me complaining that three out of my four teachers this year are having babies. One of the teacher requested that I make her baby a owl hat and since she didn't find out what she is having and her last day was this past Tuesday I had to make two of these hats for her. They turned out sooo cute and of course everyone at the school now wants them again. I also made a cute blanket and a car cover that I need to take pictures of and then post them for you all to see. I will I promise, as this is my last week for catch up, I start a job on the first for the month of April working for a accountant, and then I am going back to school in May I fear my crafting days will have to be placed on hold for a little while... I am super excited about the job and school so I guess since I made the decision there is no use in whining about not crafting....I still will have my evening when I'm not at basketball right?

My Ana-white designs.......so far

I love Ana-white.com she has so many cool wood projects for you do do around your home and they are fairly easy to follow and do. Here is my hutch and desk in the works we still need to finish the desk and make doors to go on them. I two tone painted it and love how it looks don't you??? It is so much fun doing these projects and customizing everything for our house.

We are in the middle of project galore but I wanted to show you all how they are coming along.......here is the shelves above my desk they still need the doors.

Happening the first two weeks of March

Janelle is my go getter and player, one fine day she decided to play out side in the snow.... however there wasn't much to play in she had to go to the snow banks and play because everything else was mostly gone.......I love happy children playing and creating.

This is what happens in the middle of a re-purposing project when I left the room Greg made the old lamp shade into s skirt.

For school Janelle need to make a Leprechaun trap here is the final project, we made a hat with a ladder so that when he climbs it he will fall into the top and get stuck, now Janelle didn't want him to get hurt so we put a pillow inside for him to land on. Then she got to take it to school where a real live leprechaun came and left his little hat behind along with a rainbow eraser and chocolate for her. So lucky to be young and believe everything.....

OUr little Lizard is doing great who would have thought that I could like something like her although well she is shedding I will not touch her but thought that everyone should see how she looks when she is getting the new skin. Here is the gross part....after she sheds she gets it. This is to protect them from their predators.

A Party Night, Fun Had By All

Also in Feb a group of us went to the President's Ball it was held at the Stake center, there was live big band music and chocolate fondue and yummy treats plus dancing we can't forget the dancing. Our friends the Caldwell rocked the house they have taken lessons and I think put the bug in me to take them too if I can look as good out there.
