A Birthday Outfit for Calista,blogger friends and summertime!


It's been a rather busy two weeks!  Nothing real big but a lot of little events here and there.  I have been busy working on a 1st birthday outfit for little Calista!
I can't be there for the big 1-0 but at least I will be there in spirit!


I bought the onsie and added the trim around the neckline and sewed on a one made out of felt!
I found directions and measurements for this easy to sew little skirt and I made the hat from a tutorial I found online!
All very simple and I only spent $7 for the onsie, $4 for the fabric and $1 for the flower to put on the hat.  
Not bad I think for a total of a little bit of time and $12.


Here's the B-Day girl to be!  When my son gets pics I will share them with you.


Met up with fellow blogger Keetha and her hubby Greg for supper recently!  They were heading up north for a two week vacation.  They only live an hour away from us and it's fun to get together with them. We always have a good time,  that Keetha is a hoot!


Hubby and I spent a night away recently.   We had breakfast at this cute little 1920's restored diner...so cute inside and out! 




When we came back home these guys were waiting for us inside our garage!!!  Not cute, not fun at all!  They had figured out how to get into our little cat door in the back.
Needless to say our little cat door is closed for now.


My grand-daughter Addison, (21 months) got to spend some time with her cousin Chloe (3) last week.  
Here they are hand in hand heading to story time at a local library.
I thought they looked so cute together!
It's major hot here still, high today of 99!
And I live in Wisconsin, where are summers are supposed to be wonderful!
I guess most of the country is still a baking away!
Have a great week friends,
Cindy

  2. How cute! It does not seem possible she will be a year old already. I would not have wanted your guests either. I don't have a pet now, but if did I would not want a dog/cat door - to afraid of what might come inside other than a pet. :D
    Still hot here also.

  8. Hi Cidy, Adorable girls, and cute little critters...I don't like raccoons even though they are cute; they wreak havoc in the vegetable garden and eat the catfood.

  11. HI CINDY!!!!
    I agree with Cee-Kay...How can BABY C already be one....it seems like yesterday, she was born and I was there to photograph her!!!I just wish the years would feel like a year and Not 6 months....to me they feel like 2 months is the time of one.....PLEASE SLOW DOWN........I just try to enjoy every day to the fullest....I remind myself, that my MOM is 75 now...that is me in 21 years....I see how much of a struggle some things are....so I want to enjoy my next 2o years to the fullest!!
    HOT....oh man....I bet we are near the same temps....hot here...but Not as hot as usual.....so it's not been to bad.....heating up again ..however it is drying up...so that humidity gone will help!!!I bet your just dreading going outside.....so I hope it cools off for you soon!!
    big hugs,
    jamie
    Keetha is so fun!!!

  15. So much fun in this post! That little 1 yr old outfit is adorable! What a lucky little girl to get all this cuteness from her grandmother. Love the picture of the cousins holding hands - so sweet, and I'd like to have that diner in my back yard! I don't want the raccoons in my yard though. Yikes! You seem to attract the wildlife! laurie
