May 5, 2011

Spring has finally arrived in Red Deer!  Unfortunately, even without hot temps, the mosquitoes are already out..and they are BIG!! AAAGH..
Anyhow, we all got involved in yard work. Last week, the boys and I raked out the leaves from the flowerbeds and trimmed the old growth away.Looks really good. And yesterday, Glen did the dethatching on the front and back lawn...awesome job...Brandon followed the dethatching by using the regular mower to pick up the thatch...another dusty, allergy prone activity that I am glad I didn't have to do!  Brandon did a great job!
I am busy as a bee on Etsy, making some pillows for a customer in Australia! I have stamped on some cotton twill material and will hopefully get to sewing the pillow cover up today. Here is a picture of the fabric after stamping:

A French-inspired piece of work..most stamps are from my Tim Holtz stamps.

Hope everyone is finally getting some spring weather!

Cheers, Shelley
