A cute little baby gift for Sheena at JoAnn Fabrics. I have mentioned Sheena before but I'll refresh for any new readers. Sheena is a super-friendly young lady that works at my nearby JoAnns. She has a smile that lights the entire store and talks to everyone that she sees and if she really likes you she will hug you hello and goodbye. (she must like me cuz she's always hugging me!) Sheena is having a baby girl in a few weeks and they are giving her a little baby shower today in the store. I whipped these up last night while watching CSI. I tend to avoid pink gifts because it's usually been done to death.
Hope she loves it!
While I have you, I would like to talk about a new series that I will be chatting about called "Life downstairs". I live upstairs from my parents, you can call them Frank and Ro. This adds a bit of interest to my daily life. Here is an excerpt:
Tomato plants were "buy one get one free" last week...this is huge in "life downstairs".
Frank- Hey Ro, I'll go buy 2 and then when I come home you go buy another 2 and then when the shifts change I'll go get another 2.
Ro- *grumblegrumble* OhforcryinoutloudFrank!
Later that day Ro realizes that Frank bought yellow tomatoes and now has cause to torture him all day.
Frank- Hey Ro, I think we should plant these now
Ro-*grumblegrumble*OhforcryinoutloudFrank! It's too soon, even the idiot on the news said so.
After an entire day of heated discussion Frank has a plan.
Frank- Hey Ro, let's keep the tomatoes in the wheely cart in the garage and bring them out during the day.
Ro-*grumblegrumble*OhforcryinoutloudFrank! Fine.
So, everyday at 9:00 am the tomatoes come out and Frank lets Ro know when the sun moves so she can wheel the tomatoes to it. Every night at 5:00 the tomatoes get put back in the garage.
This is life downstairs.

I agree with sarah. Frank and Ro sound like some folks I know
Ha! You can rest assured your folks are NORMAL! My in laws gardened the very same way for years and the plants did just fine! We had tomatoes coming out of our ears by summers end. Love the traffic stop story and I agree whole heartedly with you. Wondering how many tickets have been given out because of "so called" laws?
Hilarious! I laughed and laughed reading this. But, forcryingoutloud, that wheelie cart manuever is pure genius!
Hi! Found your blog through your forever and ever quilt. Lovely fabric choices! That ticket totally sucks! But unfortunately contesting it would cost you a million times more in attention worry and paperwork... Love the way you write and 'Life downstairs' hope the tomatoes are well.
so Sheena and my best friend are the same, they love to talk and hug to those people that they like..
For sure she'll love these.
Congratulations to her upcoming baby.
Hi! Life Downstairs sounds hilarious. Can't wait to hear more. Found your blog through the Shabby Lane Shops comments. I finally found a way to say thanks for YOUR comments about Wallflowers!
