Are These Cute or What?!?!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!
Okay, all your blogging chicks out there, you'll understand this. I think I'm blogging too much. I know, I know! What?!?! You're saying about now. Yesssssss, I'm a bit concerned. For one thing my mouse is dying. It scrolls up but not down. I've tried everything to resurrect it but to no avail...... Sob....Sob.....Gotta run to the Apple store (not a real one in Boise, but one that sells Apple things.) I'll have to use the one on my laptop or one of the other computers we have here in this house until I can get there monday. Why do 2 senior citizens.......uuhhhh pardon me, "2 seasoned and talented and very young (!) adults", have 5 computers????

The other reason for concern about blogging is this. Ya know when you go to the blogs that have the captchas for security???? Ya know how the letters are at "random"???? Well, my sweet little chicks, I'm getting good at it. I can whip those letters out at such a rapid pace it'd make your sinuses blow out! Hoooooeeeeeey! I'm typing at something like 100 captchas a minute now!
Finished update..........!

These are sooooo adorable, not because I made them but the fabrics are sooooo cute! They are now on La Maison Rose for sale.
But just thought some of you would like to see more "eye candy." :-)

Pink Saturday!

My entry for "Pink Saturday"!! It's a petal cake and faux petit fours I made and surrounded with luscious red faux strawberries placed on a lovely pink pedestal cake plate. I keep this in my family room. Ain't it purdy?!?! I love it, my sweet chicks!

Flea Market Friday!

And here's what I made today! I plan on doing something "special" with it. Just a little fabric pin cushion but it took me a while to figure out how to make it.

Oh my, I almost forgot it's FMF! I thought I'd share this little plate I bought and put the decal on. BUT it is NOT for sale. There were only 2 in a little boutique and I bought both and gave away the other one. Feast your eyes on this little chickie. Then head on over to my Connie's other blog and look what I have over there, my little cherubs!

Life is a Series of Photoshoots or Why Are You Taking Pictures of My Refrigerator?

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
on yellow watermelon!!! It tasted yellow not pink! Hah. Actually tasted just like a pink/red watermelon if you can get past the yellow look!
***

Jack is always wondering why I'm taking pictures of his shop, ties, chili supper, spaghettti, lettuce and the refrigerator. I don't know other than I need material for blog posts. I take a look at everything that has the potential for a good blog story.

Well, today we went to WM and he got a watermelon. It was kinda funny looking. Green stripes were all over it. He said it was fine. Well, I just cut it and it's "yellow" not the red watermelons I'm used to. I've never had a yellow watermelon. Hope it tastes good!!

Then I tried getting it in the fridge. Not much room in there when we've got 15 bottles of salad dressing in there for our dieting. But it is clean and tidy. Lots of food.
