I ended up cutting out some wallets, using a Lazy Girl Design pattern for their "Wonder Wallet". These little things are so much fun to make, takes very little time, and very easy. It's a shame the pattern has that copyright thingy on it stating that I can't even sell the finished product. ".... no part may be reproduced for commercial use or resale in any manner, including finished product made from this pattern." How can they do this?? Would it stand up in a court of law?? It looks to me like they'd want people using their pattern to make items for sale. I would think this would sell more patterns plus get their name out there into circulation. Oh well... I might feel differently if I were smart enough to make a pattern of my own, who knows. Oops... got a little side tracked there. Anyway, I'd recommend this pattern to anyone, even a beginning seamstress. They would make great gifts for teenage girls or women. They're full of little pockets where you can stash all kinds of things. The actual pattern calls for a velcro closing, but I personally use a little snap, they work great too. I'm just not a big fan of velcro, never have been.
When I got home from work yesterday evening, there on my kitchen counter were 4 little Easter Lillies in a glass. I stopped to look at them and Hubby started chuckling and told me the story of the Lillies. Our Grandmonster Jaylan had come with her Mom to visit and she brought them. Hubby was at the pond fishing so Jaylan went down there with him. He said she hung onto these flowers for dear life because they were for Mimi. After they fished a bit, they came to the house and put the flowers in the glass. Well, this morning I called our daughter's house and talked to Jaylan. I told her how Papaw said that some little girl had brought me these beautiful flowers for a surprise. She started giggling and said, "It was not a little girl, Mimi, it was me, Jaylan Kodi!". Bless her heart, she was so proud of herself for bringing the flowers to me. Aren't Grandmonsters Wonderful!!??
Day before yesterday part of my little chicken flock disappeared. No explanation, just vanished. I went from 5 chickens to 2 chickens, and the 2 left were these big red roosters. Today we got up and there was 1 big red rooster. Hubby went hunting again for any remains. This time he found some feathers and beside the feathers were these huge claw marks on the ground. He has no idea what they were, I'm guessing they belong to one of the neighbor's Great Pyrenees dogs. So I have a feeling that in the morning we will be completely chickenless. We'll just have to wait and see.
