Making Me Smile

 Surprise flowers from my daughter, keep in mind, she's 17. How lucky am I?!

 Going to my first ballgame in 11 years! Minneapolis has a new
 stadium for the Twins to 
play at. It was an incredible experience, I want to
go back already. 
The City makes a beautiful back drop, don't cha think?

 Wearing a bunch of bracelets at once, just because it's fun; 
and that way, most of my bracelets get worn!

Being with this little guy. I think he was made for me.
I am so relieved and happy he is back to himself, {if you didn't know, you can 
read this to catch up}, and we are able
to take walks and play. He's so much back to himself that he has
been playing with my yarn rolls. That's a good sign!
{I am taking free online classes to learn to crochet btw, & I am loving it}
Check out the classes here.

Having a delicious, beautiful latte' and amazing current scone
with a flower on the table.
Not only that, but the company I had,
Madelynn and her boyfriend, yes, she has a new 
guy;)

 The fact that I am embroidering! I have finished the first piece {below}, 
and I have finished my first freehand piece {above}!

And finally, lovely flowers
I see on my nightly walks.


Soon I will have a special "signature" at the end of each 
post, I am excited for that!

I hope you have had a lovely week, see you soon.

Hi Gina! so glad to meet you through Janice's blog award-- i can't wait to read your 7 random things, especially since i already want to go to a baseball game with you (GO RANGERS!!!) & thrifting with you.

i can't believe you only just learned to sew/crochet. i am loving that beloved embroidery! what beautiful fabric to use as the backdrop.

so another thing to add to things we could do together-- you could teach me crafts :)

XO
