A "Rosey" Happy Fathers Day to All Men!

One more thing. I remember a poem on this father's day that I heard many years ago and I just cry and SOB every time I hear it again. Click to go there and read it from June of last year: Poem
~*~

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers, grandfathers and future fathers. You're gonna love it, sweet men!

Okay, I finished 6 little faux cupcakes yesterday and the day before. Hubby kept wondering what was keeping me so busy! But I just love them.......so cute for "eye candy" and we ALL know how I feel about "eye candy"!! And these I scented with Crabtree & Evelyn oil of roses and do they smell luscious, I tell ya.....uh huh!!! You should smell this house. I can only get her oils when I go to Seattle to visit with "gorgeous granddaughter" aka GGD or back to California to visit with daughter and son. So I hoard it passionately! Hah

Oooooh and my Apple Mighty Mouse is working again! Dilemma solved. Now, as Ronda says, I can keep my $50 and spend it on yard sale finds or more roses of some sort for this house. Definitely my kinda chick!!

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!

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!
