Sweet Meadows Farm new pattern.....

I ordered this pattern from Sweet Meadows Farm . She has the actual dolls for sale on ebay. Aren't they Sweet!

There's no pattern for this guy. He must be 20 feet tall. He was outside the Festival of Trees at the Dearborn Performing Arts building.

And speaking of performing arts, we saw two rising stars yesterday, Sarah and Jennah, in 101 Dalmations! They had so many children who wanted to participate, there were two casts. Lots of proud families and friends (like us). Happy rainy Monday everyone.

Made where?

Yesterday I returned a five dollar item to the close grocery store that gives our church a little dividend and is known for featuring "made in Michigan" products. I just needed something to hold some paper towels in the kitchen. After I got the thing up it was so flimsy it wouldn't have held a kleenex, so I took it back.

Turns out it was one of those fast sellers on the end of the aisle so watch out for those.
Also if you care about where your purchases are made, visit Sweet Meadows Farm blog and she will tell you all about bar codes. Plus you can see all her wonderful dolls.

My bird on a pumpkin has a coaster because he wouldn't stay upright. He just rolled away, so I put a jar ring inside. He likes it.

Happy Friday everyone. Barb and I are going to see "Big River" (again). At the Out of the Box theater in Wyandotte, at 7:30. If you can go, you will love the music. Also at 7:30 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.

Quick Fire Hydrangea......

If you have room in your garden for this one, it looks so beautiful this time of year. It is not showy and big like most, but its changing colors are worth it.

Thank you all so much for commenting on my pilgrim couple. Somehow their faces seem to say stuff, like I think he looks a little dubious and she looks like she thinks he is being silly. Or is it just me?

Yesterday was so beautiful I did some unnecessary things outside and it looks like we are having another day like that today. Divine Child craft show is this weekend so it will probably snow as it usually does for that. You also have one more weekend to see Big River at the Out of the Box theater in Wyandotte. Be there if you are in the area, it is a big hit! 7:30 pm, Fri. and Sat. 3 pm on Sunday.
