This post is for Zachary!

Zack, all I could think about was you at work the other day. Guess what is being added to the menu at Hunan Chinese Restaurant? Chicken Dumplings! And boy are they delicious :) They aren't available to order just yet, but I will let your Mom know when they are. Then you can come in to visit me and eat a whole pile of delicious chicken dumplings!

I can't wait to see you buddy :)

Mommy's little helper

Grace and I just got done unloading the clean dishes from the dishwasher! She loved helping me...Mommy loved it too. When we were done with the bottom rack she closed everything up, said "all duh" and walked away. Hey, when your only two feet tall the full top rack is just a minor detail that can be ignored ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!

My first take on couture

I have been totally bogged down lately...with ideas. I just can't keep my brain from coming up with new designs and ideas for altering. Add a generous side helping of passion for all things beautiful and my sewing machine, and I can't be stopped!

Sarah took me shopping last year after my birthday, and I found a great pair of jeans that I loved. Well, after washing them twice, the length in the legs shrank! ...or I grew, but I'm inclined to think the former. So now I have these jeans that I don't wear because they sit above my ankles, and last I checked the eighties have come and gone. So what to do?

My solution and first try at patchwork:





The results







I am pleased.
