(Another!) Star Garland Give Away!!

Hello! Hello! Good Sunday to you all! It has come to my attention that some people who would have liked to been entered into the Star Garland Give Away were unable due to whatever reason so...

I'M DOING ANOTHER GIVE AWAY!!!

That's right! If you want it, tell me! Text me (if you have my number), email me at tabbysorangemarbles@hotmail.com, message me on my blog, on facebook, where ever! This, again, is open to everyone! So, if you'd like to recieve a star garland (FREE to you!) let me know! AND! If you need more than one to avoid fighting amongst your household, if you should win, tell me why and I'll hook out a few more. ;-) (no more than four please).

I hope you're interested because I'd love to make some for you! Just give me a shout out by August 20th, that's almost two whole weeks! All I ask for in return is an email saying how much you love it and a picture of where you've hung it up! With your permission, I'd share that on my blog. I'll name the winner (selected randomly from those who enter) on August 24! I hope to hear from you soon!

Until next time!

A Little of Everything

Good day all! I hope you are all having a good day and week! Today we were supposed to get some rain (it was a 60% chance!) and it hasn't come yet, I wish it would, it would make taking Little A out back so much more comfortable. Hopefully all this excessive heat we've been under will melt away and we can spend more time outside. We've been going to the pool, which Little A loves but sometimes she's too brave and goes out too far for her reach. She doesn't mind going under, she actually finds it pretty funny, but she has no idea how to get back once she's gone too far. Everytime we go she gets more interested in the water over watching all the people. Well, anyway, I just want to do a quick shout out to my little sister who turned 22 yesterday! Happy Birthday S!

I found these cuties while searching (holy cow, I have no idea where I got them from Google, but if they're your's I'm not trying to take any kind of create for them!) and I think I can make a pattern for crochet ones from looking at them. Only time, and actually getting to it, will tell. But they are so cute!

I haven't done much crafting lately, but Tonka and I have been spending most evenings in the recliner in the basement. He's such a lover. Plus, that lap afghan, or lapghan, is a recently (almost finished) project I was working on. Why can't the ends weave themselves in? It's real teal and spring green from Red Heart and those colors together are so yummy.

Do you remember when I was stuck up on the hate Jane Fonda was wearing? Well, I finally just did it! Finished it just the other day! Wait for it...

Ta-da! I don't think it's exactly like it, obviously, but it's a great look-a-like I think! Plus it's my first one, the next one should look a bit better, I'm still pretty proud of it.
Little A and I went out with a friend and her kids yesterday, her oldest son will be three in October. It was fun but it was so hot and we got a late start and by the time lunch rolled around everyone was hungry and kind of cranky. Ok, at least I was! But her son and Little A kept holding hands! It was so cute! Wish I had a picture of it, it is in facebook though.

I've also been meaning to share these with you. E loves homemade things, especially if they're made just for him. I had left over fabric from when I made the curtains, I'm a chronic over buyer of fabric because I don't want to be short or mess up and not have enough to redo it. There were no plans for the fabric so I made him two pillows! Despite their different sizes both are equally comfortable to snuggle with.
Oh! Last night, for the first time in over a year, I went to see a movie, by myself. Well, with a friend. But wait! It wasn't just any movie! It was Harry Potter!!! I'm a huge fan of Harry and have been waiting to see it. It was fabulous! It was everything I wanted it to be! The director David Yates, in my opinion, is one of the best ones the Potter series has had. I also will admit, I cried! I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can watch it repeatedly like I do the others. Sorry, the nerd in me came out a bit. But E was so sweet and took over my nightly duties for me including bathing and feeding Little A then putting her to bed, all without complaint! I sure am lucky to have him.

(rain in the south a few days ago, off the back deck.)
That's about all for now I think. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you some stuff that I'll try to get done, I need to get my lazy butt in gear! I hope you have a great week!

Until next time!
