Journey West

So, Jean, you think maybe she likes the pool? :)

Little goober - didn't cry once. I think she loved every minute of it.

The beach chair she was sure was just for her and since it was only 6 inches off the ground..maybe it was!

My second visit to the Oklahoma Memorial.

Notice the small chair - some children died too.

Rylee's first (and my) visit to Lambert's "home of throwed rolls." You just throw up your hand and they throw you a roll.

Vera who?

Now, I've heard that gals will pay some ridiculous prices for a Vera Bradley handbag or tote or whatever. I can't figure out what all the hype is about? I have seen blogs where folks line up for hours waiting to get into an outlet for a Vera Bradley sale. Admittedly I don't own any - too expensive if you ask me.

I got tired of sewing a bunch of tiny scraps to a piece of paper this week (double wedding ring quilt) so I went to Joann's and used my 50% off coupon and bought a pattern for $4 and a white zipper for $2 and 4 buttons for $5.50. This was the outcome.


Rylee is modeling this purse for me - look for her on the home shopping network in about 20 years :)







I decided it needed some more buttons so I went back to Joann's today with another coupon and bought four more buttons for $3.50. I added some of my own touches to their pattern with the extra buttons and turned the flaps up on the corners of this pocket. Not bad for my first one eh? (and yes, i used a machine to quilt the actual green material - that isn't handquilted...gasp!)
