Capable Women

Uncle John & Baby Emmett

Here they are the pictures I promised… Didn’t I say he was just perfect! In fact, they both are!

I think these two are going to be good pals… they just have that “pal” look about them…

Some bonding going on here I think….

Well, I’m off to Flitland… and I’ll also be working on a little something for Emmett’s baby shower (:

Smile Repair…update

Georgia — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:58:22 +0000

We have been celebrating the removal of Emily’s braces and the abundance of beautiful smiles she is producing these last few days… We are thankful for all that went into making this “new” smile for her

Before…

The bottom tooth sticking out had very littl bone and gum in front of it to hold it in so the orthodontist said that ,even thought he doesn’t usually put braces on children as young as Emily, he felt, to save this tooth, it was a good idea…

Close up…

After…

A Wonderful Man

Georgia — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:34:32 +0000

I just can’t wait any longer… I was hoping to have a new picture of the best guy on earth but he is hard to catch! I just want everyone to know that he took me out to a very artsy and romantic restaurant and bought me a pretty pricey dinner complete with candle light and kisses! It is definitely an evening I will remember. So, all you guys out there, … if you want to know how to bless your sweetheart, Mike is the guy that can tell you what’s what! Thanks again Dear, for a very sweet and memorable evening!!! I Love You!!!

Update… I finally caught him!

Spring Roll Athon…

Georgia — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:26:54 +0000

We just recently had the privilege of having some dear friends come and stay a night with us… We had a wonderful time of “catch-up” and, for extra fun, made Spring Rolls for dinner…

These pictured are Emily’s… she did a mighty fine job with those tender and delicate rice paper wrappers! There were only a couple dissappointments to an otherwise a perfect visit! My dear friend wasn’t able to come because of illness and I found dust bunnies under a chair in the bedroom where “A” stayed (after being so careful to try and make that room “perfect” for her, honest! We emptied the whole room, switched beds from Emily’s room to John’s, swept, mopped and dusted right before they came, and there wasn’t a dust bunny in sight anywhere :} (John must carry them in his pocket unknowingly and then they jump out and hide while he isn’t looking!) Oh well!

Anyway, it was a delightful time and I did receive a number of gifts and a very special promise of a “raincheck” from my dear friend, to come for a visit soon…

New Members…

Here are the latest Flits and the reasons I have been so long in posting here…

Mini Flits have come…

Meet Anastacia the Elagant… she is a very graceful and deer like Flit. Her wings are reminiscent of deer antlers and she is very slender and “quick of flit”… Not all Flits are “born” with stories, but some are just worthy of one! I’ll be back with more Flits as they are “born”…

Note the missing chandelier in this picture…that’s why the room is so dark… just a remnant of the earthquake…

Hope you find a Flit to brighten your day…

New needles

Georgia — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:54:49 +0000

Now, I DO have a set of knitting needles in size 10, but they are VERY long and keep getting caught in my sweater, so doesn’t everyone know that that is sufficient reason to get a new set of needles, shorter ones and double ended ??? Especially if they only cost $.59 (cents)! I am so happy with these “Make Them Yourself” brand of needles!!!

A little bit of dowel, a pencil sharpener, some fine grit sandpaper and some elbow grease!

Now, when I am a more experienced knitter, these might not cut it any longer but while I am still a beginner they are “perfect”!

What’s on your needles?

Bean Bags…

Georgia — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:14:46 +0000

Here is another set of Bean Bags…

They are still a bit bigger than I would like, but turned out cute enough to keep making more, and work on reducing the size… they feel fun!

Floating Flits

Georgia — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:16:52 +0000

Remember these little creatures…. Well, here is my latest creative endeavor with them…Flits on a string (or wire)…They look almost magical floating in the air like this…

I like the wire hanger in this photo after adjusting it…

I just slipped the silk flowers off their wires and recycled the wire part to be the mobile armature. Then with a little wire and some tools and beads a flit community was born… I am not sure exactly what they are up to… but I think it is to make our day cheery and bright… and to look for some dew drops to brew up some sweet flower nectar for the bees, hummingbirds and for those of us that know where to find it. You have to know which flits to look for (I’ll let you in on the secret… Columbine brew the best for human consumption, but watch out, not too much or you might get a little tipsy :)

I hope there are some flits in your life today…they are so very bright and cheerful, sure to brighten your day!
