Latest Happenings

Shalom Everyone!!

I don't like it when I wait to long to post again, and then have more than one subject to talk about.  But that is what has happened, and I will combine it anyways.

April 26th - chick day

We got five Bard Rock chicks.  This is a recent picture of their first outing - they weren't so sure about the grass tickling them! :)

April 29th - The Johnsons move in

It has been SO nice to be able to see them more often.  This is some of us playing tennis across the street (I am behind the camera and Emily was inside with a cold).  Their house is the farthest one to the right.

May 8th - Mother's Day

We don't do much for the day, but we have started a tradition of having a tea party.  So Anna and I hosted the 2nd annual Mother's Day Tea.  The menu this year:

Chicken Salad Sandwitches

Raspberry Scones

Pasta Salad

Fruit

and Rice Krispie Bars

May 11th - the big gardening day





Every year we plant a pretty good sized garden, and yesterday was the day to start that again.  It was so wonderful to have the weather in the beautiful 70's or even getting to 80, and the work went right quickly.  Any chore outside is so much more pleasant than the inside ones! 

Every day occurance:

Elsa does not relize how big she is and that most dogs her size are not lap dogs!! :)

Thank you for reading!  Hope you're seeing all the Lord's blessings on your spring!

Crafties

Welcome!

I thought I would post a few pictures of the crafts I have been busy with lately.

First off, cards.  When Alison gave us a whole slew of stamps, I was very excited to see the cute little Hunca Munca and "The End" stamp!  So I had to make stationary too!

I have also been playing with Shrink Art Jewlery.  The necklace on the right is the Hebrew letter Shin, the first letter in the word Shalom (hello or peace).

And, after thinking about it for years, finally learning to pearl, and two rip outs...

my knitted bag!  It is felted (making the yarn shrink by putting it in the washer and dryer).  And then the yarn is so tight that I could just cut out the handle without it unraveling!  And I like it very much, I just don't put anything to heavy in it.

Thank you for reading!!  Keep crafting!!

My 17th Birthday

                                                                                                      

   I cannot believe I turned 17 earlier this week!!  Maybe it's because I sure don't act like a seventeen year old! :)  But my day was very blessed, special, and fun!!  We planned to go to a waterpark, but it was almost cancelled because of the sleet - we've been having crazy weather lately!  But Daddy braved the slippery roads anyways, and we made it safe and sound!
  
  

Our day at the waterpark was so enjoyable!!  And it wasn't as busy as we feared, because of spring break!  My favorite parts were the wave pool and family raft ride - the scariest slide, of course! :)  I also tried the surfing simulator (but I didn't stand on the board!  I just layedon my stomach).  And I made a flop of it almost as bad as I feared!! :D  As soon as I was down on the wave, my board turned sideways and I was off before I could enjoy the ride!  I didn't try again, but it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it next time.

Going down smoothly....

      ....and being pushed back up not so smoothly.

After being drenched and shriveled to a little prune we went to Pizza Hut with my Grandma, Aunt, and cousin.  Then we went to my house for "cake" - Buster Bars from DQ. :D 



 

I also received some really special gifts: money - probably will be spent on books or at Ladies Emporium. :D  A scarf (which I am wearing as I type this) and some pretty scrapbooking paper, a fun book on the history of aprons, a recipe book, and two aprons - the one on the right my Grandma remembers my great-grandma working on!!  Quite a keep sake!!

Thank you for reading!  And thank you for all the wonderful 'Happy Birthdays'!!

Old Things, New Finds

Hello Faithful Friends,

A while ago (but I will not say how long ago, so I don't want to reveal how behind I am in posting), we went to the an old mansion to tour.  As me being so very much into those things, I really loved it!  It truly was a mansion with 40 rooms - even an art gallery!  It would have been nice to see the house full of furniture and maybe even people dressed and acting like they lived and worked there!  But I can see why they wanted to use furniture that was original to the house.  It was still very educational and fun!  Sadly, flash photography was prohibited, but a couple pictures turned out.

I also found this neat website: www.ladiesemporium.com  They sell late 1800's fashions newly made, and anything you want - from corsets and swimsuits, to dresses and boots.  Take a look at the swimsuits, I actually think they are cute and wouldn't mind wearing one!  Does anyone have any other good places to buy old-fashioned clothes?  Ebay is also a good place to look.

Thank you for reading!  Until next time,

Amber

A Personal Ice Rink Too

With the weather reaching almost 50 on Sunday - turning much of the snow to water, and then it freezing the next day, we had our own personal skating rink yesterday!

We were able to skate from the barn, past the house, and all the way down the drive way if wanted.  But we didn't do that to often - because of the steep grade of our drive way, we went way to fast for it to be called safe and had to bale out into a snow pile before reaching the slush at the bottom of the hill! :)



We spent more than a hour out there and enjoyed it immensly!  I have to admit that Minnesota is pretty great - even if I love summer best!  But today it's back in the 40's and all that's left are big puddles.

Blessings on your winter!

Meeting Face to Face

Today we met someone face to face after being blogging friends for a while (this is our second time meeting a blogging friend)!  My Mom's friend - sixfolks - were here in Minnesota with her family and we got to spend the day with them!!

First off we enjoyed talking over lunch - it's always nice to be with other like minded families!  Then we went  to the Mill City Museum (it's a museum in a old flour mill - if you couldn't guess that).  It was a very enjoyable time!



Here we are looking down from the tower over...



Thank you for spending time with us!  It was great to meet you and your family!

Blessings,

Amber Nicole
