Easter was one of the few times during the year that we got completely new outfits. <BR/><BR/>The puppy pal: Is absolutely my puppy in fiber. Which means, you captured it perfectly.<BR/><BR/>You mom's embroidered bunny with egg? Reminds me so much of patterns I did as a kid. Buying them at T, G, & Y and spending hours embroidering them on white cotton.VOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720138340117045444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-19141887482351756102009-04-10T16:08:00.000-05:002009-04-10T16:08:00.000-05:00oh how I wish I had that cookbook.

You know, maybe that would be a good "christmas" project- convert all those recipes digitally and make a new one. hmm. I miss that house and the yard. Didn't the new owners cut everything down? Sad. I am going to go eat some mini eggs right now I think since I don't think I have the energy to make sugar cookies.abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680868158247107504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459395058311330990.post-40757563475470406242009-04-10T13:14:00.000-05:002009-04-10T13:14:00.000-05:00The tennis ball is a bit smaller than a dime -- sa...The tennis ball is a bit smaller than a dime -- say maybe you took 1/16" off a dime all the way around. I'm sure it's hard to judge scale on these pictures. This picture is around 8"x8", including the wide border that I've cropped out of the picture.<BR/><BR/>My sister will be delighted to know that you shared her hairstyle -- last time I made fun of that picture, she said "but my hair looks exactly like that now!" and I had to explain to her that "NO, IT DOESN'T".
