Sport Clips

A while ago Kade and I had to find a new place to get our haircuts.  Our regular stylist was having a baby and wanted some time off.  I had heard a few commercials for Sports Clips.  I looked them up one day and realized that they were very close to our house.  So now we get our haircut at the place where "It's good to be a guy."

We both enjoy The MVP Experience.

Just Ducky

I have learned to really not like school fund raisers.  Especially the ones that require our kids to try and sell things to other members of our family.  I also don't appreciate the fact that the school sends it home one day and then requires that it be turned in the very next day.  What?  That is just ludicrous!

I came home from work with a terrible headache, and all I heard was quack, quack, quack.  Okay, that is not really what was said, but it sounded like that.  The girls needed names of people they could sell magazines to, just so they could get some of these...

FHE Treat

We always love it when Kelly's job for Family Home Evening is treat.  It always tastes better and looks better than anything we can make...or buy.  Tonight we had brownies.  Don't they look delicious?

Primary Bag

Kelly is a little burnt-out so that means you, our faithful readers, are stuck with me.  This first post will seem quite odd, but here goes.

Here are the pictures of Kelly's finished Primary bag.  It holds lots of stuff and looks fantastic.  Don't you agree?

Car Wash

This morning we rolled out of bed, got dressed, and went to church to clean the building.  Afterward Mickey drove us to the car wash.  He'd had enough of the dirty van I guess.

The potd should have been a before and after of the van.  I must admit it was filthy.  Since we had lovely weather today (just look at that blue sky) I think the van should stay clean for a little while.

p.s.  I just finished my bag.  Looks great.  I'll take pictures tomorrow.  I need some sleep.

Felt Flowers

If you window shop at etsy or just go out where people are you will have noticed that felt flowers are all the rage.  If you google "how to make felt flowers" you'll get almost 5 million results.  I would say that makes them pretty popular.  The nice thing is they're pretty easy to make.

I decided since I have a new job at church that I needed a new bag.  After all I will be hauling all kinds of things to church with me now.  I found some fabric last weekend and decided it needed a little something to accessorize it.  This is where the felt flowers come in.  I did my search.  I looked at the images, it was much easier to pick that way.  I thought about this one.  It was lovely but not really what I wanted for this bag.  I'm sure I'll make it some other time.  I kept looking.  Then I found this one.  Yep, that's the one.  So yesterday and today I've been tracing, cutting, stringing, and then attaching.

I added a little pearl bead in the center and they look even more darling.  Can't wait to finish the bag.  (The green is the bag fabric.)

Bookmarks

We needed a little something to pass out for birthdays in Primary.  The president and I were searching the internet for some good ideas.  I came across this blog in my search.  I ended up buying the pdf for these.

Aren't they so cute?  I'm loving the Choose the Right theme this year.
