corner doo-dads

I plan on adding butterfly beads and light pink ribbon flowers to this as soon as I locate the right color, everything I have right now seams too dark.

our initials worked in another corner isn't it just too cute? I don't usually go in for cute but I couldn't resist.


just enough of this embroidered Georgette ribbon left for a corner.

HE DID IT!

Back from Chicago to see my eldest walk the boards and get his High School Diploma! WOO-HOO! I couldn't be more proud of him, he worked so hard for this and I couldn't not be there for it.
Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks?

He also has a job all lined up as a game equipment repair guy, at one of those play-it -again places. again he;s taking responsibility for his life and I couldn't be prouder of him!!
now, one down two to go.

the tree took all 8 hours to Chicago and back, to finish and now as I look at how it turned out, I wonder if it wouldn't have been better off with out the rest of the french knot buds on the lower branches. It looks much more open and not as fussy. note to self for next time.
