One Year Old

We celebrated Luke's first birthday. He is such a cute kid. Audrey wanted to do a "Cookie Monster" party. My little cake looks kind of cute, if I don't show you the original cake idea from pinterest- lol. The cupcakes are just "blue monsters"- haha. (My first time to try making dark colored frosting with gel food color. And I had alittle technical difficulty with the frosting tube and tips.) Anyway... the party had lots of BLUE. (A few of the pics were from Audrey and not at the party, but I included them because they are so cute.)

Misc Items for November

Just some random items for the month of November... some how it came and went very quick. Early in the month I went to a baby shower. (I couldn't actually stay for the shower, but I took a gift) One of  my standard taggie blankets- lol :) We always enjoy the deer in the yard. We have our standard "bunch". The weather was mild...a couple of small freezes, but some beautiful flowers and butterflies. I bought a new TV for the living room. I really wanted one to hang on the wall to take up less space in that room. It was like we gained an extra 3 feet there. I also was able to buy a couple of new chairs, so that we have more seating options. I put out a minimal amount of Thanksgiving decor. I was really wanting to go directly to Christmas... but life was crazy, and I didn't have time to get much out until after Thanksgiving. (I'm sure that Ron and mom were happy about that- ha) The last pic is a birthday card that I made for the bishop. He turned 40 on Thanksgiving day. We had all of the primary children and teachers sign it.

Brown Baby Bird

Here is my inspiration for renaming my LLC. This is one of my favorite animals at our house. This little brown bird, hops around the outside of the house...eating insects...even scorpions :) The photos are not great. I took them from our bedroom window and had to zoom in alot. Since I closed "The Silver Hanger", I am wanting to keep the LLC, but rename and rebrand it. It will be called "Brown Baby Bird". More info soon. All I need is more time to sew, to design labels, take pics, and figure out the etsy shop thing- lol. (Maybe this is a long term project- haha.)
