whoo loves you

so now that i'm feeling better, you'd think i could get my act together and get my house clean...but no, i couldn't get these owls out of my mind...saw them at pottery barn in different colors (priced higher than i was willing to pay), and i thought they'd be cute in valentine colors...so, i put some of my fabric scraps to good use, and...here is what we get. i think they are pretty cute. little miss fit {a.k.a. G} has not been feeling well lately and wouldn't let me get anything done, but she didn't mind sitting on my lap while sewing, and she had fun helping me stuff the owls. i think i'm raising a crafter...and it makes me so happy.


today i got to go to G's school for a "mother's tea party". it was so cute. they sang us songs and served us cupcakes and juice {or tea and coffee}. they also made us these cute frames that also turned into a lovely broach {pin for your sweater}. sorry the picture is a bit blurry. it was a great day. i love spending time with my little missy. {even though she won't smile for pictures}.

her teachers told me for this picture she pulled her hair forward so it would "look just right." and i thought G hated being girly...it must just be a front for me...
