No I have not vanished...

yes, yes, still here!

And still working on the three cushions. They are coming along nicely actually. I'm just sewing the binding to them. One is completed but need to be handsewn in the back. Pictures will come soon, don't worry about a thing!

Purses? done!

I finished the purses for Leeann and Amy. Aren't they cute?

Amy's:
Inside pockets, a big one and a cell phone double pocket too.


Here are Leeann's purses.


Two cute purses, sitting on the bench, next to each other.... They just look like a girl and boy version of each other....

Something else got done yesterday! (they finally came to paint the front door! hum, I waited what... two years almost?)

Isn't it just beautiful? It just ties the whole house together, with the front red bricks that we have. I'm super happy with it! (even if the colour isn't a perfect match, it works great by adding so much more life to the house!)

J'adore ma nouvelle porte orange brûlé!

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night

(yeah, you know, even my 4 year old sings it these days.)

Anyway, yes indeed it was a good night:

PRV'd The Real World Cancun last night and watched it.

Watched Big Brother 11.

Made some Florida Orange Iced tea. Yep from scratch, with real tea. A Rooibos tea from my friend Jacqui at Sisters Leap Tea. (which one of my friends isn't addicted to Rooibos Chocolate Mint yet? that's right, you know you all are! LOL)


After being at Amy's house on Monday, and tasting her iced tea, I decided to give it a shot.

I boiled about 7 cups of water and added the tea to that. (how much tea? about 6 or 7 tea measures I think). Then some sugar too (how much? well maybe 5 tea measures?) Got it all cold in the fridge too. There, we're ready for you Summer! Because The Weather Network tells us that you're finally coming back tomorrow for a while! hallelujah! It's about time!

Then of to the purses....
The "exteriors" are done.
Cutting the pockets for the interior.
