Alex is 1 year old Today!!!!

Seems like just yesterday we were awaiting the arrival of my first grandchild! Now he is one year old!! He has been a HUGE joy in my life. I have loved every minute of time I get to spend with him, even if it is just on Skype. (I don't know what I would do without that). Tonite we will share birthday cake over the internet. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweet little grandson!!!!

I have been working like a crazy grandma, making a few things for Alex's birthday. Here they are:

Felt alphabet letters - tutorial coming!

finger puppets - I forgot a pic of Elmo!

And a picture album!

I was in such a hurry to get this stuff in the mail on time, I forgot to take a few pictures. I made an alphabet, drawstring bag to store the letters in, and a finger puppet of Elmo! It was so much fun...I hope you enjoyed Alex's first birthday!!! Grandma Loves you, baby!!! Thank you, Cori and Jacob, for the best gift EVER!!!!!

Fabric Flower Fun!

This one is sold!

(Diana's "first" birthday gift - Happy Birthday!!)

I must say, making these flower hair clips and pins are my new favorite thing! I scored a ton of odds and end jewels and charms to add to these from my friend, and can't wait to use them. I need to start adding them to my stores! Last week, I also made this clutch to a co-worker! I almost forgot why I've been so busy...

In a few days I will show you my Grandson's gifts and a tutorial. See you then!

A Garden View

It has been a beautiful, warm week here in Sacramento! We have had a cold and rainy spring, so far, and looks like we are going to be back at it next week, AGAIN! In the mean time, flowers are bursting into bloom!

Azalea

Lilac

Unfortunately, so are the weeds!!

I might need a chain saw for this one!
It's been a crazy, busy two weeks around here. Hopefully next week I can show you what I've been doing and maybe even a tutorial. Until then, have a great weekend!
