Phantom of the Opera at the Orpheum, Minneapolis

Ok, ok. On a rare occasion, I do get out to do something other than yard design, eat, sleep, and crochet! On Sunday, my daughter turned 13. She is a HUGE fan of Phantom of the Opera and has a couple of CD's and Two movies. She can also sing every song. Yes, word for word. She has been singing these songs for years and has an angelic voice. Her dad and I took her to the Orpheum Theater in downtown Minneapolis on her big day of becoming a teenager. She picked balcony seats and we had a terrific view. What a grand day we had! The performance was beautiful and unforgettable, especially for my daughter who counted the days until we went. Absolutely loved it.

Current Afghan Under Construction

This crib, baby seat, car seat or stroller afghan is taking awhile to construct. Since it's planting season, I'm torn between inside and outside play (flowers or crocheting). Seems the answer would be easy. Most days it is. Who in her right mind wouldn't choose to be outside in this fresh, warm, bright spring air? There is only one problem with that choice and you know what it is if you are currently looking for work. Playing outside costs you money (flowers, veggie seeds, weed & feed, bird seed, etc...) Playing inside can potentially make you money (& if you are like me, you are trying to make at least enough to cover the cost of yarn, ribbon, and supplies). Ok. I put 1 1/2 rows on this pretty pink number. Now it's time to go outside. That was easy! Have a blessed day, jillian http://www.lollybopbaby.etsy.com/

Promoting another handmade shop

I am a huge fan of handmade. I am also a huge fan of people succeeding in what they do, especially if they put their heart into it and give it all they've got. Here is another etsy shop (sidebar) that I love. Heartsabustin has done some custom work for me and has 100% record of satisfied customers! Check out her shop and give her some love! Be blessed and have a great day, jalene
