MAY IN MISSOURI!!!!!

                                              What a wonderful May!!!

 We have all been so busy doing lots of fun things  The gardens are really growing, farmers market s full of stuff , Mother's Day was delightful, events to attend, life doesn't get much better than this!!!!

My folks are doing well, lots of resting but they get their motors running and we shop, lunch (food is always on our minds), library, etc. so we are not letting too much grass grow under our feet!!!  In a couple of weeks we are road tripping to Eureka Springs, AR and to the Walton Art Gallery Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, AR.  Home of Wal Mart, no less.  will let you know what that is all about!!!  This will be my folks 64 wedding anniversary and we are meeting their friends from Hot Springs, should be a lovely road trip!!!!

                               I have been having some more fun playing!!! 

 On Thursday I am heading to Warsaw, MO to do another Naturally Dyed scarf class at a neat shop called Saltbox Primitive Woolens. 

 They do lots of rug hooking, felting, naturally dyed woolens, applique etc.  a very fun shop, should be a fun event!!!  

Then on Friday I will volunteer at the thrift store, love that place, good deals and great folks to hang out with.  Plus all the proceeds fund our no kill shelter.

Friday night is the opening get together for the Missouri Fiber Arts annual meeting held here at the Lake.

I will have a table with some stuff on Saturday and then Sunday we'll go to the Brunch and Fashion Show...more on those events later!!!

 I have put some of my things in a new shop on the North Shore, it's a store that sells only upscale recycled creations, she has some very cool things and my stuff is working out well.  So today I have put together some more items.

I have taken a mans shirt and cut it up to be a halter and sewn ties around the bottom and collar and accented the pocket.  It's a flirty dress and I think it could be cute for winter , not halter of course!!  The table cloth dress is just that with bodice from another cloth and accents and pocket!!  All raw edges no fine tailoring here!!! All for fun,swim cover up whatever!!!

The button flowers I found in Warsaw, just floral wire run thru a couple of buttons, fill up a  vase, make a corsage, whatever, fun quick project!!!!

               And two more table linen bags made with linens and old jean legs!!!

And the sad news, we had to put two of our doggies down 2 weeks ago.  Dakota, who had developed diabetes and Cody the oldest, both were really failing so the time had come.  They are in a much better place but we are still sad and missing them.  Poor Abbey is still wondering but truly enjoying being the ONLY doggie!!!

                         Hope this finds each and everyone one of you well and happy!!!!!
