Today being the first day of summer I was inspired to redeem a SPRING banner and turn it into a SUMMER one!
Can you spy the little gecko in this pic?
I used the spring felt banner I picked up right after Easter at Target for $0.79!
Flipped it over, traced circles which I cut out of fabric my sister, Nita, gave me.
She said, "Linda will USE this!" And so I did! I will find a use for the rest of it, I'm sure!
I traced the S and R from the banner and winged the U, M, and E!
I used suede pieces my friend, Dee, sent me!
Fortunately, I have every color thread in the rainbow!
A quick session at the sewing machine and I was DONE!
Voila!!!
We spend part of every single day out in our gazebo.
Watching geckos is one of our favorite past times!
It is comfy and lived in!
We had good news today!
Had a roofing company come out to inspect the roof and he said it had many more years left on it!
I just knew after all the Texas hail storms in recent years - one of which had us REALLY nervous and did a LOT of damage to my car! - that it would need replacing! Praise God for an honest roofing company!!
He even gave Louis Dean some free advice on repairing a small area a tree had whacked on its way to the ground during a storm that happened while we were living in our camper in Houston.
Louis Dean being the 'Man Among Men' that he is - went right to work on it.
That's what HE was doing while I was making my banner!
In other news......
Louis Dean had a 'date' with my mother today!
He picked her up at the beauty shop and took her to HIS favorite place - The Guitar Center!
Next they ate at Cotton Patch Cafe followed by a trip for HER - Walmart!
No pics since he's a MAN and blogging seldom crosses his mind!
I had other business to attend to this morning!
It was the quads one year check up! I love to go with Amber and help with the babies!
They are getting pretty strong and I was literally holding them down at one point!
Let's just say they may need another roll of that tissue paper they use on the examining table.
What can I say? It kept them occupied!
It takes a LONG time for an appointment with FOUR babies! All the same age!!
The super cute Quad mom and her little BOY!
That's it for today!
I need to go out and tell Louis Dean to stop working!
We have some sitting to do and maybe even a Boston Legal to watch on this summer night!
