BLACKBERRIES!!!!

We picked many blackberries by the road close to the tracks. A few actually got in the freezer!

 yum.yum.yum

--------------------

I'm not sure what kind of flowering bush this is but I know one thing: it's tons of fun to take pictures of!!!!

I was using my macro filters that I got for my birthday to take these pictures.

Some with the +4 and some the +10.

Love.love the black and white!

A little spider that was on the leaf!

Our first tomato!!

Potato blossoms.

I love watching Harrison play. He has so many face expressions.

Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks are his favorite toys right now. 100% boy!!!

He loves when you read to him.

When you ask him if he wants to watch a movie he'll look at the tv....

Smartie pants, I didn't even know what one was when I was his age!!

This is the grin I get from him almost everytime I look at him. Makes my day everytime!

you asked...

So here they are.

Pictures of the clips I've been making.

---------------

I actually made these butterfly clips a couple months ago, but they were in my tin of clips so I decided to take a few pictures of them too..

Maybe if I can get enough computer time I'll do a post on how to make them..

They're extremely easy to make.[:

-----------------------

This clip was made out a piece of left-over lace, a scrap ribbon, a button, and some tulle.

My own random concoction.(:

---------------------

I got the idea on how to make these from [this tutorial].

But instead of putting mine directly on a head band,

I put a clip on the back so I can either put it in my hair or clip it to a skinny head band..

--------------------

I love these lil lace clips.

Find out how to make them [here].

------------------

This is what I was working on last week.

But this week was a little different.

I helped paint the kitchen, mowed lots of grass, baked/cooked, cleaned, did laundry,

cleaned kitchen cupboards, made bread, and got ready for visitors this weekend..

In other words, not much time for clip-making..(:

Hopefully sometime soon I'll be able to work at them again though..

Little man's first carousel ride.(:

He loved it.

--------------------------------

After walking all day at the zoo wearing these year-old, ripped up, falling apart shoes.

Chandler decided it was time to say good bye.

His heel was starting to hurt pretty bad because the heel of his shoe was practically worn through(see top center picture).

It was still sore more than a week later..

So in honor of these faithful shoes I took their picture, that way we can remember them in years to come.lol

The new (and VERY white!) shoes he got a few days later.

They're already turning yellowish and getting worn after only a week..

-----------------

One of my most recent projects.

A mirror I got at a yardsale last summer.

It's painted a goofy blue so I'm sanding it and than I'll paint it black n distress it a little.(:

I can't wait to see what it'll look like!

[oh yeah, the mirror isn't as tall as it might look, it's only 'bout 4 feet tall.]

Now that school's out I have some extra time on my hands to work on some fun projects..

Right now I'm on a hair clip kick, so I've been busy making(and sometimes designing) hair things,

mostly hair flowers made out of ribbon, lace, or fabric..

Also I've been working on some more knit scarves..

They're so much fun to make and I can't wait to wear them!
