bachelorette, kimoni pjs and strawberry shortcake

Wow, just finished watching the Bachelorette.

What fun! But I felt so bad for her, she seemed

to be freezing her fanny off the whole night!

Ya think she would have worn a shawl of something.

But having the guys offer their jackets was nice

too ha! Wonder if all the different colognes

gave her a headache after awhile? And

I thought that the very last guy she chose

looked an awful like the Jake from the last

show. Ya think? There was only one that gave

me a 'ew what a creep' feeling. That Craig M. I think it

was. The one who argued about putting the name

in the box. Something about him, an angry look,

just set off the ew factor. Any body else get that?

I can't wait for next week. I mean

besides loving the show, there isn't alot on I want

to watch right now. Project runway is done, Survivor

is over, I didn't get Lost but its done too. I mean so

many of my favs are done for awhile so its nice to

get something else fun to watch.

Yes, I admit, I watch ALOT of t.v. And really alot

at night. Bob is a night worker. He does 10hr nights

which are great really, but sometimes the nights are

really quiet and lonely. I do have the dogs but

when I talk to them, they just look at me like,

shhhhh, I'm sleeping here. And my sewing room is

off limits after 10. And this is

silly, but the birds cage is in there and she goes to

bed at 10. ha! Told you it was silly.

I have finally finished the kimono pj's. I love

the fabric. Was just so light and soft. Thought it

would make wonderful summertime jammies.

But man, next time I will find a better place

to take the pictures. The green walls did not

help with the photos no matter how I touched

them and messed with them I could not

get it to look right. But here they are:

Oh, ya like my new 'sewing room' plaque?

I put a small crochet flower where I sewed the tie on.

This is my next project, a warm flannel blankie for my

grandaughter Olivia. She is turning 4 very soon.

And being 4 is so important don't ya know!

Its the year before kindergarten. And your so

much older than your baby brother now!

You can teach him so many new things cuz

being 4 means your a big girl!

Here is our sweet girl posing the robe

I made for her.
