Doily, Headstands, and Bumblebees

Interesting title, isn't it? ;) Well, first off I wanted to show the doily I made for Sweet E's hope chest. My plan is to make her something every year for her birthday to put in her hope chest. So far she has three doilies (and some thread dresses that I made for her.) Isn't the hook I crocheted it with gorgeous! Thanks Amy!
Next is Little E's newest trick. I just think it is hilarious!
Next, is a project that the children did. What can you do with icing, cardstock, M&M's and candy eggs? Make bumblebees of course!

Your doily is beautiful. What a great idea and you got started right away. I thought of ideas like that when Joshua was 12. =)

I love the bumblebees. I am sure they were a real hit to eat.

We have "tool chests" for the boys (instead of a "hope chest"). Each year we are purchasing the boys a tool (of good quality) so that when they get old enough they don't have to "shell out" all the money at once. They will have a start and be able to use the money for other things.

Beautiful doily and a wonderful idea. I should do something like that for my grand-daughters.
The bumblebees are so cute, I might just be eating the bees up pretty fast if I made them : )

Oh how cute are those? I will have to post about Chloe's birthday doily too. I am so glad we have started when they are so young.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
