Happy Mother’s Day!

Today was a very busy Mother’s Day.  Went to brunch with the family in the morning, my daughter’s house for a little bit after, my Mom’s for a bit in the afternoon, then back home to rest.  When I was home I took a few photos of Evie in the yard.  Here she is with the ceramic frogs that I made years ago.

Then we visited the turtle.

And the turtle with the butterfly!

My daughter gave me this lovely plant.

And my Goddaughter gave me this one.

It was a super fun day, but I was super tired at the end. It was a busy weekend with many blessings.

Today also marks one month since my first post.  So exciting that I was able to make a post a day!  Most successful blog yet.  Hope I can continue!

Until tomorrow!

Tree Climbing & Cat Stuff

Today was kind of a busy day.  My daughter and I met a friend and her daughter for lunch and some shopping after.  Then my daughter took me out for a pedicure, and then I went out to dinner.  Needless to say with all these activities I didn’t have time to change Evie’s outfit and she also didn’t get a chance to travel with me.  In between all the activities, I took her outside for a few photos.

Here she is next to the huge tree out in my yard.

 

This tree in my yard is huge.  I believe it is a maple tree.  At least I think this is what it is.  Here is a leaf.

Evie convinced me to let her climb the tree and I told her to be careful.

In this photo you can see that she is very tiny compared to the tree.

Here is a full shot of the tree from another angle.  Up close the leaves look green, but from far away the leaves look almost purple in color.

She spent a few more minutes in the tree before I finally convinced her to come inside.

When inside, I showed her some cat figures that I bought while out shopping.  The first is this little black cat with a bag of snacks.  I have no idea what the snacks are and both the snacks and cat have Chinese wring on them.

Here is Evie with the cat and snack.

I also bought this little cat who came with a drink in a bottle.  No idea what the drink is???

Here is Evie with the cat!

I specifically bought this cat to display next to Barbie’s Yorkie because they are about the same size.

I’m not sure, but the Yorkie looks a little scared to me.  What do you think? 😂

Until tomorrow!

Some Sitting and Sewing!

Today I was able to have the afternoon off from work so I  took my Mom out for lunch for an early pre-Mother’s Day treat!  We had fun, but unfortunately Evie could not come along.  I did take her with me in the evening when I went to babysit my grandchildren when my daughter and son-in-law went out for the night.  After my husband and I got the kids to bed, I was able to work on some sewing.  Here is Evie watching me as she patiently waits for her dress to be done!

As you can see, I am making some progress, but I am not quite done yet.  

Evie hopes that it will be done soon.  We shall see!

Until tomorrow!

Garden Girl!

Today I dressed Evie in a cute shorts/overall outfit!  She looked so adorable!  I thought it was a perfect outfit to get a picture of her in front of our garden of random growing flowers!  

You can really see how much this random flower patch has exploded when you look at this photo!

I love all these pansies and I am kind of worried that I missed the window to get some pansies for my front step since they are the earliest flowers which come out in April.  If I don’t find them anywhere, I will need to gather these up and transplant them into a pot.

I also meant to show you the surprise that I bought the other day at work.  I found three little purses in the sample sale boutique that are all perfect for toting around Evie!

Evie is excited for future adventures!

Until tomorrow!

Looking for Bunnies!

Today Evie and I spent a busy day working.  At the end of the day we went outside in my Mom’s backyard and took a couple of photos.  I dressed her in a cute shorts set made from a cat print fabric.

After the photo we went on the search for bunnies and look who we found hopping around in the yard!  A little bunny!  This is the first bunny that we have seen in the yard this season!

 

Such a great surprise for the end of the day!  

Until tomorrow!

Office Beach Day!

I was in a rush this morning so I quickly picked out a dress for Evie and I dressed her before heading into the office.  She is wearing a beach themed sundress.  However, today is not particularly warm or “beachy”, but Evie made the most of it.

She borrowed Minnie Mouse’s sunglasses and stood near the window facing the pond near my office building.

She asked me to take more modeling photos of her in front of the “beachy grass”.

And before we left the office, she insisted on taking a photo in front of my computer screen because it happened to have a beach themed screen saver.

I also purchased some surprise items at the sample sale boutique at my work that I think Evie will like, but waiting until tomorrow to take some photos.  Too tired tonight!

So until tomorrow!

Hats and Flowers!

I was disappointed that I never had a chance to put Evie in her Kentucky Derby outfit on Saturday.  So today I dressed her in the hat and dress I had planned for her to wear and took a few photos outside.  I also decided to put her in the Jill wig for this week.

Here she is without the hat.

Later in the evening I added two of those floral clips that I purchased on Amazon a couple of weeks ago.

I am not sure what she will wear tomorrow, but I know it will be something cute!

Until tomorrow!
