Boat {Light} Parade

The Thanksgiving weekend kept the GOOD TIMES comin'

Saturday night we went to the 3rd Annual Colorado River Boat Parade

1st annual: Me, Ken & Carson went and there were about 5 boats

2nd annual: I was in St George with Dad for his open heart surgery

3rd annual: SO MUCH FUN!... see for yourself :)

Love these two :)

Thanks for stayin' Vel 

Too bad my pictures didn't turn out better, but you get the idea.

And we got home just in time to watch the fireworks!

Bibs for Bryce & Thanksgiving

I should have been cleaning my house for our Thanksgiving gathering... But this was WAY more fun!

I made this one for his turkey dinner at MY house

I made the neck holes a little too big... Erica can always put them on Curtis :)

and there they are...

Auntie LOVES her boy (look at that face!)

Here are his cowboy jammies...

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! I sure did.

second chance...

Sewing desk refrub...

Ken was out of town on business & I went thrift store shopping.

I saw this & the man at this really bad thrift store wanted $10.

I didn't get it... When Ken got home I told him about it and he said,

"how can something not be worth $10?" We went back and bought it.

Washed & sanded it...

 Glued all the joints back together...

Primed and painted....

It's cream with black drawer handles (the handles are original,

they are really cool, you can't see them very good in the pic)

also, the pic doesn't do the drawer lining justice...

I cut cardboard 1/4 inch smaller in length & width, covered with

warm & natural batting, then black velvet. It's beautiful!

It's the perfect height to sew on. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

It's true... how can something not be worth $10?
