This and That Thursday

It's seems to be my modus operandi to be a blog slacker in the early part of the week only to over post on the weekends! Makes sense to me but for my readers I will just say that I'm not an overly organized or disciplined person which leads to me running around like a chicken with her head cut off as the school/work week dawns and about now...on Thursday, I begin to get under control. As I am not scheduled to work tomorrow I am gleefully anticipating a nice long day in the salt mine. Gleefully you ask? Well I'm just about caught up on my custom orders so that means I can start 'playing' with some of the fabric I have just waiting to be made into some little girl's outfit!!

Only one more Easter dress is waiting to have it's final touches and it's on to summer outfits. Here's a custom order that I had a lot of fun with.....

a little boy's "cheater" tie to match.....

his sister's Easter dress!!!! Those will be pictures I can't wait to see! Hint, hint.

We've also been busy with Julia's science project!

She had to do a 'display' of her choosing covering the subject of meteors. She had a blast turning Styrofoam balls into 'meteors' by gouging them and then painting them.

They  were mounted on yarn and hung from a hanger. Her 'facts' were then laminated onto the strings. I forgot to get a picture before she headed off to school but will post it after it comes back home!!!


Julia has really been blossoming in her creativity!! Besides being selected to have a piece of her art to hang in our local art museum she brought home this from art class today....

I'm blown over by her neatness and creativity!! She's only 9 and in third grade and yet she 'saw' the Titanic in her perspective lines!!! Looking forward to her future progress (:


As crazy busy as this week has been with work and St. Patrick's Day I did feel the need to squeeze in one more event! 

My niece Alyssa was confirmed on Tuesday!!! I am beyond lucky to only live across the street from the church so it made the time crunch a little less stressful! My Mom was up to seeing her granddaughter confirmed too!

She did remarkably well given it was a 2+ hour ceremony. Not only was it a granddaughter getting confirmed but Alyssa chose Veronica as her confirmation name....which is my Mom's younger sister's name!  Her sponsor for confirmation was.....

c'mon!!!! Was there ever any question???? Congratulations Alyssa Rose Veronica and good job Auntie Peggy!
