Fabric Flowers in Bloom

Today was a glorious day. 

My friend Amanda came to town.

We ate crepes.

Spinach and cream crepes.
The one below is an apple crepe.

So incredible.

Apple Crepe from Chez Pierre Creperie.

Drank chai tea lattes to keep us warm.

It was quite chilly outside, especially for April. grrr.

Investigated a new recreation area being constructed in our home town.

walking in through the entrance

water playground for the children

I sometimes forget how colorful sand is.

My feets.

I used to love to swing. Not as much anymore.
Almost gives me motion sickness. Boo.

Visited Manda's mom at work and she gave us a bunch of free stuff that they use as incentives for the customers to sign up for accounts or credit cards! We like free stuff!

Manda with all her goodies... blanket.. backpack... books.

Joined our friend Ashley at her house.
Which looks lovely and fresh.
Hopefully she posts a before and after of her home (hint hint).
She and her husband redecorated drastically since last year.

Drank some tea.

such a funny mug.

Made headbands out of felt and old t-shirts.

Manda's headband.

My headband! I don't usually like pink, but this really pale pink I am liking!

This is the tutorial I used to learn how to make the roses... then I just cut off the bottom of the rose (you'll see the long end in the tutorial) and hot glued them to a strip of jersey t shirt.

Fun day.
