Getting Well and best wishes….

Surprising turn of events…
Mom was rushed to surgery Friday for emergent surgery thanks to a ruptured appendix. It has been very trying for her and us. She is improving everyday but it is going to be a long road back.  Totally doable, but she feels a little low right now. Bless her heart.

A fall festival at school brought out our fairy. She had a lot of fun despite the rain and cold that has descended upon our town. It is yucky out there. Not a problem for the fairy. She danced and twirled all around, granted wishes and ended up with a bucket of candy. What fun!

trick or trunk??

Our little fairy had an event at school tonight called Trick or Trunk.  An alternative to the typical trick or treating. It is at the Church, supposedly in the parking lot…(that was the trunk part), but it is rainy and quite cold here. So, no worries, they will just “party in the gym”   (see the worry?)
So, [...]

New dress for Em

 
In the spirit of the wardrobe refashion challenge, I made a little a-line dress for Em. It is from thrifted items. An old pillowcase and a linen tablecloth. I intended to the dress to be reversible, but somewhere in the mix I could not get it figured out. I had no pattern, I just winged the whole thing.  I guess [...]

I am joining in this wonderful challenge. Check it out! I love this idea and I have kind of dabbled in this sort of thing for about a year. I am now challenging myself on a deeper level. The idea of reusing, recycling, and re-purposing is really important to me. I do not like [...]
