I have a niece that is a teacher (well, she is married to my brothers son). The school is works at is Northeast school. They did  a youtube video that you just have to watch. It is called Summertime, LOL They did a great job of making this video.

I know that she is more than happy that school is out because she just went back to work after having twin boys. They are just the cutest little things. I got to hold and feed them the other day :)

Well, that's it for me for today. Don't forget to check out my friends blogs.

Day 26 of #90daysofblogging

I was finally able to catch one of the Cardinals at one of our birdfeeders today. Every time I see one or a finch, by the time I go get my camera and am ready to take a picture, they are gone. Well, while sitting out on our porch with my sister, she was visiting from Nebraska, I was finally able to get one.

Here I tried to get a close up but, it is kind of blurry.

Here are a couple more I took. You can just barely see him, darn. They are so pretty and their babies are just the cutest little birds.

 You can really see where my dog, Smokey, struts his stuff when another dog walks by LOL. Right side of the fence. He will scratches his feet on the ground like a bull right before charging. He sometimes thinks he is king of the hill. Hate to spoil it for him and tell him it is just his yard he is king of.....

Thanks for stopping by. And once again, don't forget my friends below.

Day 25 of 90daysofblogging

I love flowers that grow in yards. One year, Years ago!!, my neighbor gave  me a small batch of a flower that she had growing in her yard. I planted them under our crab apple/apple tree and each year they would spread and make more. They have now worked their way all around the base of the tree. I don't know the name of them and I don't remember if she told me (she no longer lives there). But, they are so pretty. If you happen to know, maybe you could leave me a comment.

 
They are sooo pretty and they keep blooming even into fall.

Thanks again :)

Check these friends out when you have a minute.

Day 24 of 90daysofblogging

Hello, I know I am behind one day so I will be posting twice today LOL. I have family in town for Memorial weekend so I have been busy.

I made some bird feeders out of coffee cups and saucers and then attached them to pvc pipe. The birds must like them because I am constantly refilling them. I love watching the birds come to the yard to feed and water. This year we have gotten a lot more red winged black birds for some reason. We also have a family of cardinals and a family of yellow finch ( or is it, finches? no idea, siri......LOL)

Here are a few pictures of the bird feeders I have made.

Thank for stopping by and don't forget my friends blogs posted below.

Day 23 of 90daysofblogging

Recently I have gotten into making paper beads (Thank you Tamiko) but all I have is a toothpick to roll them with. I have watched a lot of videos on it and came across one that showed the V3 Focal Paper Bead Rolling Machine. This is a wooden machine that comes with two rollers and is suppose to make bead rolling a breeze.

I received it the other day in the mail and could now wait to tear into it and start using it. I immediately cut some paper and started rolling..........UGH!! Every single bead was stuck on the smaller roller and I had to tear, literally tear the paper off the roller. Which meant, no bead but a pile of torn up paper!!! I was NOT happy. The other roller which makes bigger holes in the beads works like a charm, the other one.....not so much.

Here is a picture of what it looks like

The one on the machine is the little stinker that does not want to work right.

Here is a picture of the bigger roller

Like I said, this one works like a charm, but I don't want all large hole beads.

I finally worked with the prongs and pried them apart a little, you can't much because the ball they are inside of doesn't really let you. But, I got a few beads to turn out right before I had to go in and pull them apart again.

Does anyone else have this problem if you own one of these? I would love to know the trick.

Day 22 of #90daysofblogging

Not a lot happening today. This morning I went for training for a new job I am going to be starting. That took all morning, then came home to clean the house. I have a sister coming tomorrow from Nebraska to visit for a few days so I thought I should at least change the bedding on the spare bed in the spare bedroom, LOL.

Then did some laundry and more cleaning, it needed it. You could tell I have been neglecting that part....I would rather craft!

Then tonight I have my two grand boys over night :) and tomorrow they are going to a Big Truck Show with their dad. They will like that.

Other than that, I had a boring day, sorry.

Day 21 of #90daysofblogging

On day 15 I showed a quilling canvas I was working on with a sunflower. If you missed it, you can see it below.

I thought it needed something else not just a quote, so I added a poppy flower to it. I am one of those that can't leave something alone and just leave it alone as is. I always feel things need just one more thing LOL. Here it is with the poppy.

Don't have the stem on yet nor the quote. Still not sure what I want to put on it or even if I want to add more flowers or a butterfly, some type of bug or bird like a hummingbird. We will see if I add more later LOL. Here is a close up of the poppy.

My sister is coming from Nebraska Saturday so I need to get the spare bedroom ready for her and I also am starting a new part time job and have to go in for training for a bit tomorrow. My youngest grandson gratuates from Preschool at noon tomorrow but unfortunately, I don't think I can make it. I know he would really like me to be there so if there is anyway I can get away from training early, I would love to see him. He will be so proud. He was talking about it to me the other night at a cub scout award night for his brother.

Well, that's all for today, don't forget to visit the other ladies blogs.
