April Brings Cleanliness and Crafting :)

Again, I feel like I have neglected my little blog world. But from this and my last post, you can see that I have just been busy...

Today Bella and Violet are at the vet, getting their shots and getting groomed. I should be able to go pick them up anytime now, I cant wait. I hate when they are gone all day. I actually miss my little Bella walking in front of me back and forth, swishing her tail in my face, while I am trying to type :) Everytime they come home from getting a bath they look like they lost 10 pounds, its so cute! And good timing for them to need to go, because Shauna (from Poor Pitiful Pearl) and her family are coming on saturday to get their pictures taken!

Speaking of, I am so excited!!! I am anxious to finally meet her! Hopefully we will have great weather and all. Renea from Pennythreads is going to come as well, so it will be a mini blog gathering!!! so excited!

I have set all creating aside today for some spring cleaning. Isnt it funny how the weather changing outside can make you feel like cleaning out? Something about renewal and freshness comes along with spring. The birth of little flower buds everywhere, the sun shining, but not blistering, the winds gently stirring the fallen leaves around (and pollen)... All I want to do is ride bikes and have picnics!!! I am serious!

For those of you who actually read this, I am going to just ramble on...

(now I want to listen to Led Zeppelin :)

We have another tent party planned for the end of the month. We are on our 3rd month in a row now! Scrabble time! James just got the cutest shirt from Threadless, it has a scrabble hand with all x, v, z's, its so funny! Its perfect for him because he has yet to win a game with me, and now he has the sad scrabble loser tee shirt to prove it, ha ha!

Also on the agenda for April is to work some more on our tattoos! This excites me so much. My sleeve has been unfinished for well over a year now. It was suppose to only be a few weeks after I started, but one thing after another happens and now here we are, a year later! So ready to finish it! James is adding a butterfly to his sleeve. He eventually wants to do the whole arm, so I think he is going to do one thing at a time from now on.

Okay, so now on to the updates!

I forgot to post these next to garments the other day. This white dress I was going to keep, but I decided to go ahead and let it go, it is up in the shop! I call it my Tulip dress because of the way the vintage linens come together...

This one I think came out so cute, and I will be making more in this style. The tank came from my friend Katelyn (thank you). This one is sold!
