I started the Ladies Useful Stockings back in March. I LOVE THESE!!!

My lovely daughter is growing up. Last week she turned 17.
Today she got her braces off.

Isn’t she beautiful? Don’t know how I did that.
She starts her senior year of High School after Labor Day.  It’s funny how fast they grow up.

The daughter child and I decided to take a Wilton’s Cake Decorating course. I think we’ve become comic relief for the rest of the class, but we’re having a good time. The instructor keeps having to tell the girl child to quit licking the icing off of the end of her tip, but other than [...]

I was visiting my mother this evening helping her with some things around her house and teaching her the purl stitch. (Hey you! Biker Chick..post something to your blog already!!) The boys were sitting on her sofa and messing around on her lap top. I hear The Liam ask The Topher “Do zombies eat [...]
