Ack! So life got in the way...

...and the elephants haven't been listed yet.

We've had a really busy week. My baby turned 3 which was surprisingly hard for me. I'm still in denial in fact. Then my big kid turns 8 in just a few days. Where does the time go? How did my babies get so big?

We've had fun too with old friends and family traditions. On Wednesday we went to our favorite petting farm to meet an old co-worker/friend of mine and her family. I haven't seen her since her oldest was a baby (he's now 5!). She moved out of state and we lost track of each other. Then this winter, there she was on another friend's facebook page and here we are back together again.

The family tradition is the small town summer parade that my parents took my brother and I too when we were kids. The past couple years I've taken my kids and they love it just as much as I did. My son loved all the classic cars and firetrucks. My daughter thought the cheerleaders were pretty interesting.

Even thought I haven't gotten the elephants listed, I've been working away on projects. A friend sent me a huge box of yarn all the way from Washington! Inside was a yarn that she wanted me to make her daughter a doll purse from for her toddler's favorite doll. It's red, yellow, and white. I even had some red fun fur to trim it with and used red for the other accents (the cradle hood and blanket and purse straps. It is so cute! I have been using pastels for the purses, but the bold colors of this one really make it unique. I've got enough of this yarn to make another, so look for it in the shop sometime soon!
