Hi everybody this is Jenn's daughter Lydia and this is a picture of me making a mouse because today is bring your kids to work day.

It was hard but easy because I haven't sewn anything since I was little.  It was really fun and I'm going to help her more by stuffing animals & dolls if she lets me. [she better pay me]

I took this picture of the mouse I made.  The dandelion was a good touch right?

Hope you have a great day, from Lydia.

5. saw Hop the movie (our cuz Jason Petrocelli was a lead animator)

6. decorated the porch (pics later....I'm still working on a tablecloth!)

7. planted pretty pink flowers everywhere.

 
Look who else was visiting us while I was taking pictures.  The Easter bunny?  No only Petunia bunny!  She's been around here since last year.  Think she might be getting fatter hmmmm.

And it's only Friday.

Hello!! 

I have been totally obsessed with this new app that I joined a few weeks ago.  I'm always the latecomer in these things so I'm sure you've heard of it.....pinterest  

I have folders and folders of inspiration from the web just taking up space on my hard drive.  With pinterest you don't need to talk up all that space.  It's wonderful!!  Anything you find on the internet that inspires you....cooking, decorating, gardens.... you bookmark them aka "pin" them onto your own board. 

It is SO organized and so pretty to see all your things right there.  

I really have been trying to control myself because I do need to get dressed and eat sometime.  Not mentioning my family that wants a little attention every now and then  

So if you'd like to join me...I'd love it.  Beware of pinning for hours on end and don't say I didn't warn ya!

Have a great night!!
