Here and There
I hope all you blogger ladies
had a great Mothers Day.
Since I am a mom because of
these two I wanted to
throw their pics up here.
Amber my first born
and 6.5 years later my
son, Cory.
And I can't forget this sweet
baby!
Dakota!
He really don't like selfies anymore
then I do! lol
Although I learned a few months
ago that if there is more then
one in your pic it is a
Usie!
HAHA
Okay, another update
on the weight.
I hit the 49 lb mark
a couple weeks ago and
due to eating some
things not recommended
by my list I gained
3 lbs back.
OOPS...
But last week I worked hard
to get those off and I am
back at the 49 mark...
in hopes that this week
I can lose at least one to
make it to the number
50!
Tired of chicken and fish.
You can only dress those up
so much.
My daughter brought me this
lily for Mothers Day.
Beautiful. I do not
have one like this in my
yard so this will fit in
really nice with the other
plants.
This is my mom and
my youngest grandson
Braden.
He was going to play
putt putt golf
yesterday and
DJ was staying with
mom so I stayed over
to spend time with him.
DJ and I.
DJ.
Amber has 3 boys.
The oldest one that was living
with me for a bit just
started his first real
job. But between Amber's
3 and her boyfriends 4 boys
they have seven.
So once a month names are
put in a hat and the
boys name that is pulled
gets to pick something he wants
to do with Amber and Will.
Braden was the first one so
he played golf.
Thanks for Cathy at
Curious as a Cathy blog
and her drawing it put the
need for me to grab a pencil
and try working on my
sketching. Been awhile.
I do draw out my work on canvas
before I paint but this is a bit
different cause I can make
corrections and make things
look better with paint.
HAHA....when I was in school I
thought I would become a fashion
designer so I was always drawing on
folders and extra papers.
Yep....well that did not pan out!
One of my best friends Debbie,
saw this one above on FB and
fell in love with it.
So I guess she will be framing
it and hanging it!
haha
But last night while pulling
up things on PINTEREST
to try and copy I decided
to draw something for my
mom.
It started like this.
And ended up like this.
She got a gift and a card but
I also gave her this.
My friend, Debbie gave me this.
She had it in her yard sale and
I liked it so its mine now.
But yesterday when I went
to the local Creative Arts Studio
where I used to have paintings
and crafts I picked this up.
They have closed and are
selling off display items.
I loved this one.
But that is not all I picked up.
I got two of these chairs.
I have a farmhouse table that I
need to finish stripping and I had
picked up four chairs to go with it.
Now I have two of these and with
two of them I will paint them in
different colors. Just for the mix
up and no match look. I like that
look!
Now to decide what to do with the
extra two chairs!
All this while I am in the mist,
slowly and on good days,
trying to weed things out of my
house and organize things.
I think my daughter might be
right....I could become a
hoarder. If only I could go and
clean like I used to.
Thanks for stopping in,

My first ex and I rotated the kids so they had a special day with us once a month - for as long as it lasted.
Very pretty lily!
Cute little dress forms, I would have liked one when I was making doll clothes for my daughter, many, many years ago. :-)
When I was growing up, my brother and I wanted to be a movie queen, and he a cowboy. I once wrote a song about us many years ago. He's gone now, but every now and them I'll listen to our song.
You look GREAT! Congratulations on the weight loss; you're definitely a winner in my book. :)
xoxo
I hope you had a special Mother's Day, Pam.

You're so close! I know you can get to 50!
I love your drawings. I used to draw fashion plates too and obviously, I'm not a designer either lol
When you finish the table and chairs, I hope you take a picture. I love the look you're going for :)
And I'm so glad you had a nice Mother's Day :)
xo,

Sweet daughter and son you have!!
Keep up the work...ya, I know just what you mean about 'there's just so many ways to dress up a chicken dish'. But, it seems to be working!!! Maybe some kinda bean dish perhaps. Spice it up and serve them with a flat bread or a tortilla.
Hope you had a glorious mother's day weekend.
