Casting Call For Baby Legs

This week there was a casting call for Baby Legs. It took place in George Town at this wonderful old building. I love the architecture!

There was a shoot taking place when we arrived. Cute little girl showing off her girlie Baby Legs while sitting on a potty......

Lots of clothes in piles and on racks...........



















Ethan getting ready for his first shoot......

Look at those cute soccer Baby Legs on Ethan! Check out their web site.

Time to change into football Baby Legs. Then Ethan shows us how a toddler sits on a potty.

Look at that cute little furry face.....
Ethan loved the little puppy!

Looks like this model just couldn't take the pressure...........

As Ethan changes back into his own clothes, here comes the next group of models. They're so cute!

After the photo shoot, we went to Bahama Breeze for lunch. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken...yummm

What To Do When You Have No Pool

When It's in the 90s outside, and no air conditioning, no pool...........just fill a bowl full of cool water and place it in front of a two year old.. and STAND BACK!

Andie Bag For Caroline

I had a custom order for one of my Andie Bags.

Here you can see my bolt of black fabric. I'll use this fabric for the handle and band.....

This bag will be made with a black canvas fabric. It has a great bird/flower motif....

This is the part where I attach the bands........
I like making up the interior before completing the exterior.....I don't know why....I just do.

Here's the interior and exterior standing side by side. They're just waiting for me to insert/attach them together so they can become an Andie Bag for Caroline!

This is the front. I love the bird!. This one could be used for all seasons...

The back is just as great as the front. I hope she loves it!

Making A Splash!

~Ethan's FIRST puddle~

Oh, the pure joy of discovering the reason why we have puddles!!

Ashland Oregon

Ahhh, Ashland; home of the famous Shakespeare Festival. I just love this place: the art galleries, shopping, dining; and let's not forget all the wineries in the area!I had a view of Mt St Helen while flying to the Medford airport.

I had my morning coffee by this pond. It was so peaceful sitting here watching the fish and a mother duck with her cute little ducklings....
I had a wonderful dinner of duck a la orange with a creme brulee for dessert at the Chateaulin Restaurant. http://www.chateaulin.com/

Spending a few days shopping, dining, and wine tasting with good friends was just what I needed. I have so many things on my plate this summer, that I almost cancelled, but soooo glad I didn't!

Here I am standing at the Troon Vineyard entrance.

Farmers Market

Yesterday was the kick off for the 17 week run of the Maple Valley Farmers Market

http://www.maplevalleyfarmersmarket.org/

I was there. I was a vendor. It was my first......

my very first time to have my very own "store" at a farmers market. The weather forecast for opening day was ominous. I was picturing myself putting up my tent in the pouring down Seattle rain....ugh!! Yes, it did rain; but not until 30 minutes before closing. Thank goodness for that! Thank goodness for the power of prayer!

Here's my little store (wish I could have had a space heater...burrr)

This is my friend Margaret and her daughter Kindra (trying to keep her hands warm with her Maui sweatshirt). Kindra brought her pretty handmade earrings & pendants. I bought my 2nd pair of earrings from her that day...LOVE them!
Take a look at Margaret's art glass on the web http://www.classonglass.biz/ beautiful!!

Ahhhh....the flowers!
I'm so glad all the vendors that were there, were brave enough to come out despite the weather conditions.....and a BIG THANK YOU for all you shoppers that came to support the Maple Valley Farmers Market!

Home For Your Cell Phone.....

I've added a new little gem to my inventory......... isn't she cute? (well, I think she looks like a "she").....She'll hold your phone/iPod in style. There's even a little pocket in front to hold the earbuds............

This is the back.....

This is what she looks like with a matching tote..............

I'll be showing a few of these at the Maple Valley Farmer's Market on June 19th! Hope you can visit me there!....Think SUN!
