Pink Flower Dress


In March I did some sewing for my sweet Niece's birthday.  In case you can't guess, she likes pink.  Purple is pretty good too, but pink is the best.  Last Christmas I made her a pink fleece coat, which was a real hit.  So I pulled out some cute pink fabric out of my stash, and a cute little dress pattern, Simplicity 2377.  The dress went together pretty easy.


With some of the scraps my daughter pieced a doll quilt for her.  I backed it with some pink flannel, and bound it with some white bias tape, and it is the perfect weight for playing.  No batting is necessary.



I was thrilled when she came over a visit a couple weeks ago, wearing her birthday dress.  It was a sunny day, so a perfect time for a photo shoot.


 What a versatile outfit.  It looks good with her mom's sunglasses, and equally as cute in my little red wagon.

    She's a cutie. Reminds me just a little bit of when Araya was little. Cute dress for her too, and what a nice day to take pictures.

    She's a cutie! She reminds me a little of when Araya was that size. Cute dress for her, too, and a lovely day to take pictures.

    We love all the outfits made my Auntie Barbara! We always get positive compliments whenever she wears them. They are always appreciated! The coats are the BEST!

Pohnpei, Part 3: Liduhduhniap Falls

(Note to those who weren't with me on Pohnpei in 1988.  You are welcome to listen in, but I am writing mainly for my fellow teachers, myself, and my family.  There will be some things you won't understand.  Just skim those parts, if you wish.) We stayed in this lovely building.  I think it used to be painted blue.  The lower floor used to be Mr. Quail's house.  The lower left apartment was Mr. Keith's.  Remember him?  The maintenance man?  We stayed in his apartment.  The building is still in good condition, but the cupboards and cabinets need help.  The particle board has swelled after all these years, and the drawers no longer work.  The building behind "Mr. Quail's place" is a cafeteria on the ground floor with  girls housing up above.  The boys are in the building that the nice Philippino lady, I think her name was Ramie, who taught typing lived in.  And there are a couple guys in the apartment in th...

Guam 2020: Post 2 - First Full Day on Guam

I'm doing pretty good, jet lag wise for the first day. I was able to sleep until 4:45 this morning. On past visits to the island, I woke up at 2 or 3 AM and was unable to go back to sleep. I've been busy all day. We took a hike with our friends, Roger and Amy Krum, and their children Nathan and Alyssa. There is a mural at the parking area that wasn't there before.  It depicts the traditional sailing boat of the Chamorro people, and the ancient latte stones. We went south on the highway, just a little ways to the viewpoint for Cetti Bay.  Then across the road is the trail to Mt. Lam Lam, the highest point on the island.  It was such a beautiful afternoon with temperatures in the low to mid 80's and a nice breeze off the sea.  The trail goes up through grassland savannas with trees and flowers along the way.  We saw the Bamboo orchid that grows in the grass. There were some little blue pea family flowers and some yellow pea family flo...

Mother's Day - Meal and Music

To start the morning out, I was banished from our home.  The kids were working on a surprise, and they didn't even allow me to be in my bedroom to wait.  So, I went to garage sales (there aren't many on a Mother's Day morning, but I scouted them out anyway), I bought gas, and went back home.  They said they weren't done yet, only 10 more minutes though.  So Rob took me on a 20 minute walk.  They weren't done when we got back, so they sent me to my room this time (am I in "time-out"), and around 30 minutes later I was finally called for breakfast.   Ok, it was  worth it, waiting for breakfast until 10:30 A.M. this morning.  My kids made a gourmet meal for me, nicer then the finest restaurant around, and there is not chance of me getting "glutened' here. My plate looked like a serving platter itself.  They made Baked Hashbrowns in a heart shaped pan, and then filled the center with my favorite recipe of scrambled tofu, garnished wit...
