Wish I could show the picture...

Click on the link, print the page, cut out, fashion clothes, assemble and marvel that you took time away from your yicky dirty dishes, grocery buying/putting away/cooking, laundry washing, kid totting, podcast listening, FB reading/writing day to make something so lovely.

I've been cleaning up the entry way. Cleaning out the house. What a huge job. Found all sorts of important things that I've stashed away on those shelves since February. Lovely new discoveries.

More loud music and Boner of the Day (x96 radio) podcasts to help make it fun and get it (all) done.

T is for Tissue, boo hoo hoo.

Yesterday was a day full of stories... left me in an odd mood to go and cavort with some way hep, way way hepper than I, chicks at Molly's Soiree Centrale. I was glad to go though. Thanks Molly! Thanks Steph for inviting me!

For the Beehive Bazaar I made some lovely wool felt tissue holders and felt needle books (May 07). They sold well and so I created a few sets of "pocket projects" to work on while waiting etc. for the children. Well, there wasn't a lot to show and sell at the December and the May show. Finally, I finished this one, only this one. I made it for my friend Sis. Lemone; she was recently called as the Stake Relief Society President. When I heard she was called I knew I had to make one for her. The only tangible requirement for her job is a shoulder to cry on and some tissue. She has phenomenal style and in an incredible gardener.

Triffles.

This is an ugly sight... the family at the triffle trough. A friend catered a wedding and was left with 7 extra triffles (raspberries, cake, pudding, huge). She left one with us and it didn't go to waist... not mine at least. (No chocolate please)

T is for a Triffle.

Wanna go?!





A lovely Sunday for triffle.

T is for Teacher of the Year.

Don't really care if Rona wins the award this Saturday for Gold's Instructor of the year. There is simply no one else that teaches a class half as much fun/distracting or painful as hers.

Today, to the tune of the Pussycat Dolls' (Yep.) Don't Cha? The lyrics? "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me?" the women had to shimmy down and up (to the handlebars) while peddling and and the men had to yell "Yeahhh!" which they did with great aplomb.

T is for Tin Tin!

While trying to clean up the house for ...x... a small Gingerbread get-together tomorrow night I realized that I never shared pictures of one of my favorite Halloween costumes:



That is C as Tin Tin, the intrepid adventurer and detective, missing from the picture is his faithful dog Snowy. M is looking up at Daddio wondering why he has his pants tucked into his socks... C was a little late for Halloween, going into work like this last week, but he was really cute anyway. JUST JOKING -- he wore this for Halloween. He did have a Snowy canine companion for the trick or treating part of the day.

T is for Thistle!

C macheted [cut down with a machete] all the thistles in the back field, which is a good thing since now the 9 llamas can tromp on them.

Too many llamas for that space, the ground is hard as rock, nothing will grow there unless we plow, water, seed, water and let it rest. Sans-llamas for a while. The beautiful babies break out and head for the softer, greener grass ... on the other side of the fence! Nevertheless. the llamas wont eat the tops or middles of the thistles. Such incredibly stunning plants, not too tasty though.

Thistles: Not served for lunch at dear lizzie's. Had a blast with Noelle O and her beautiful baby boy C with my baby girl M.

Will post about the house soon. Colors.

T is for Threads, Toga & Time.

Last Friday K had Greek Day at his school. All 6th graders got to dress up in Togas and eat Greek food, no kegs, or food fights were involved however. In the dramatic part of the day K played Alexander the Great, with an out of character moment, for both AtG and K, when stage fright momentarily crippled the actor.

I thought it would have been fun for K to dress up as a Geek, for Geek Day. Perhaps a Greek Geek? Where does the pocket protector go on a toga?

Threads: I've been doing quite a bit of sewing lately. Sock puppets and Trivial Tissue holders. N's morning class is so boring for him (at USDB, there are only 2 other children.) I try to visit his class once a week and have Art Time. C & I made sock puppets with his class before C left for NYC last week. I'll post pictures in a while, maybe a video!

Dang. Art Time on Greek Day? That would be a blast. Maybe I'll just have to have that party someday.

Time. Where the H-E-Double TOOTHPICK (nice Utah expression) does it go? I have discovered that Blogging takes TIME. I love being in touch with friends and Family around the globe though and I LOVE hearing from F&F. :)

T is for Target & Technology

Target. Lovely store. Found a great GE telephone there. Style and function perfectly mixed with fun. This phone is by the bed. A very small piece of electrical tape covers its only minor flaw. A persistent red light in the front. Couldn’t find the phone in the store today.

Today I found out that there are hundreds of different earphones to choose from, for iPods etc. S & K might be getting new ones from the Easter Bunny. Smart Bunny.
