Happy Mother's Day!

Got some yummy goodies from my guys!

6lbs of local orange blossom honey....chocolate mint tea, creme brulee tea, chocolate covered cherry tea...also a gift certificate to Grandma's Yarns!

Yesterday the owners of Grandma's Yarns gave me this cute gizmo for Mother's Day....isn't it the cutest thing! It looks like a puppy but its hidden scissors, and its lime green, how awesome is that! Had a great time at the knit meet!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day!

I've had a great day relaxing, knitting, napping, knitting!:)

James even had some more fruit trees follow him home today...3 apricot, 2 pear, 1 cherry, 2 plum.....another row to our orchard...36 fruit trees!!! Also some more grape vines hopped in his cart too! Going to be a fruitful summer!:)

Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

Fuji looks like she's in the sink of doom.....bath time!

Getting dried off and smells like an apple pie!:)
Happy Dogs on Thursday!

Tutti Fruiti Tuesday

Lots of pears on the pear trees...

We have a pomegranate on our pomegranate tree!

Lots and lots of peaches on the peach trees!

Nectarines....

I know James will know this by looking at it...can't remember if this is the cherry on the cherry tree or if its the granny smith apple tree....I thought I'd forgotten to take pictures of the apple trees...ooooh have lots of strawberries too but forgot to take pics of that too....no fruit yet on the blackberry bushes and nothing on the grapevines yet....

Just excited that we're going to have fruit this year! As long as the squirrels, chipmunks and birds leave it alone!:)

Apple Cozy's

Made James an apple cozy for his apple today in his lunch...can't wait to hear what he says about it! Every day at lunch him and his coworkers cut up their fruit they bring and share it...thought they'd get a kick out of James' special fruit!:)

Then it was so cute, I made another to place at the LYS. Its a cute "granny" type of decoration for them since the store is called Grandma's Yarns and Notions. Quick and easy pattern too, you can find it on my ravelry page. While I was crocheting them I watched Hannah Montana the Movie....what an awesome movie, soooo good. Even went and downloaded a few of the songs from itunes! Definitely will be watching it again and again! Even James and Jimmy watched it (I made them) and thought it was good!:)

Remember FREE shipping at wolfefarms.net until Mother's Day...its fast approaching!

Also the FREE lavender soap sample is on the site to try!

Saturday...

Another thing I forgot to mention on Thursday was Fuji's new collar....her favorite toy is her froggy; found this cute princess frog collar on etsy....wellllllll, its huge, almost two inches wide, she can't even bend her neck down and the thing that clips together is even bigger. Her collars are usually 1/2 in......so disappointed. As you can see she hides her head in shame....just so heavy she can't lift her head....poor poor puppy, back to her old collar! None of the pics with her with it on turned out because she was not a happy camper! I'll have to put the collar on my stuff toy chihuahua!:)

Made these baby booties yesterday to go with the bunny hat. They're so sweet! Made these while watching The Ugly Truth, very good movie! A romantic comedy with Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl....

Off to enjoy a day stitchin' at Grandma's Yarns....
