OUTFIT coming soon!

This is the fabric I will be making her something {not sure yet} for UIL coming in December. Black and white and I think some hotpink dot fabric also. Guess I will know when I start sewing it!
Her poem is about an elephant, so what better applique to put on the shirt!

Stitching Ariel's Christmas tee...

 I love to SEW....did I say that loud enough?
Seriously, I love creating many different things, but sewing and embroidery are my favorite. I would love to learn to digitize next year! That's on my list of things to learn!

And here is the finished design.

Ole Scatter....his favorite pastime....

Not sure WHY he has always like the bathroom, but he looks for WATER! If he catches the lid on the comode up, he drinks from it...Yeah, I know, YUCK! He has fresh water in the garage...
Ariel bathed him last week and when I got the blowdryer out to dry him...{ yep, crazy thought }
he HISSED at me....so, he only got a towl dry...bad kitty!

7 UP Biscuits.....

I am addicted to Pintrest, that is when I have time to sit and look at it, but I found this recipe on there and decided to give it a try. Of course, my little helper, Ariel, wanted to get her hands in the goo also, so her and I made them together. Here are a few pictures of how we did it!

Cutting them out!

Moving them into the butter pan..

ready to bake now!

Just Ariel.....

She asked me if she could get some highlights in her hair, which I wasn't too fond of allowing, but I thought a few couldn't hurt, RIGHT? Or should I say, "what could a few hurt?" So, my wonderful hairdresser and friend said she could do it and Ariel was excited. You can't tell a HUGE difference, but she just adores the look.

A cat on the hot tin roof?

Okay, well he wasn't on a hot tin roof by all means. He was being nosy while Bobby and Ariel was hanging Christmas lights! He climbed the scissor lift and jumped on the roof. Walked all over the roof and then was following me on the ground. I honestly thought he was going to jump to the ground at one time, but he managed to find his was off before they called it a night.

It was a SWEET shop kinda day....

4th grade went to the Sweet Shop here in town today for a field trip. I am SO happy they went because Ariel has been wanting to take the tour for a few years now and they only do it during the day. It is such an awesome tour. Our tour guide told us alot of information and that was the neat part. OH, I could own a candy factory. Benjin-Bousan-Slacen-Chocolate Factory...(okay, really that is the name Ariel has always told me was her chocolate Factory, LOL) I snapped a few pictures in the lobby, but couldn't take the camera inside the work areas...

Here she is before dressing in the haircap, gown and booties for her shoes...

and after putting on the haircap, booties and gown.
