I am not usually
whiny about the heat. I like summer. I like heat. I like the windows open all night and sleeping with no blankets. But last night. Last night was stagnant and so muggy. We had thunderstorms and the night was long and sticky and thick. I may not have noticed so much if I had not been up most of the night with a sick little girl. Two nights ago she kept filling her mouth up with pool water and I kept saying, you have to stop that because if you swallow all that pool water its diarhea and vomiting for you. Sometimes you have to learn things on your own I guess. Sure enough there has been much vomiting. So she and I fitfully slept in my bed with regular trips to try and puke. She never ended up throwing up again after too late but she was gun shy and wanted to hang out in the bathroom a bit too much. I know you mom's out there can hear me but if anyone out there has heard enough- sorry!
So that little guy up there belongs to my sister in law and her family. They recently adopted him and he came to visit us over the fourth. We are dog crazy around here right now and are fixing to get a dog ourselves this winter. I feel half crazy for even considering it but I think we are all pretty ready for a dog. We spend a lot of time on petfinder.com these days.
This dress was whiped up in minutes for the fourth. It is that great stuff you can get at Joanns that is pre smocked at the top. I liked the little fray at the end so I didn't even hem it. She loves it and it was certainly festive attire for the block party.
Lastly, here is a little something I whipped up for a celebration send off for a co wroker. It is a little cake topper to celebrate their wedding which is happening tonight in California. It is just their faces on paper that I painted and glued paper to for her dress, and little pearls for her boobs. I have made these before- just a little something for fun for a chuckle.
Have a great weekend!
so funny, you should try and sell those, I bet they would be popular, very original!

OK, this is darling. I love the pearls for boobs! So hillarious. It's quite lovely, though and the touch of humor is perfect.
