Project M

Okay so many of you who follow me on FB and or Twitter have been asking about Project M. Not that I have been talking about it or anything.... so without further ado... here it is "Project M"

Our friend is having a little girl and her name is to be Bethany Mariah Rogers. They will call her Mariah. She is doing her room in black and white Toile with red accents (so very precious) and so I thought I would make a set of crib sheets... one red toile and one black toile. Well then I decided to go a step further.

I wanted to do a fun name for her wall but not just any plain letters. Something with a little flare!







How's that for a little flare?

I fell in love with it. I figure if she doesn't like it I can always sell it on EBAY! haha... Any Mariahs out there?

In the back you can see the crib sheets design. I put more tissue paper in the front of the name too so now it is a huge pail of tissue paper! woo hoo! I am sooooo excited!

Water Park







Ahhhh refreshing.

I took the boys to meet Daddy F at the park to have a picnic and play in the sprinkler park. They had a blast running and playing in the sprinklers. It is such an amazing place to let them just be. Although you do have to time it just right so that it is not jam packed with people who cannot/will not control their children! All in all they had a wonderful time. Moe fell, tripped Bear, Bear fell on top of Moe busting his lip. I helped Bear up off of Moe and then Moe stood up and reached for his daddy. So sweet!

They played in the water and then we changed them into dry clothing and took them for a walk to feed the ducks and dry off a bit more. Moe's daddy and I talked a bit more about what is to come soon enough. The time is drawing nearer that he is to start transferring back into his dad's home (if that is what is ruled).

Moe and his father are doing much better together. They are bonding really well and I am very pleased at the progress that we are making.

We have another visit scheduled for the BM this weekend but we will see what happens! She didn't show for the last scheduled weekend visit.

On another note... I am working on a fairly big project. I cannot go into much detail seeing that the recipient-to-be is a loyal friend and reader of Joyous Journeys. But I will tell you this... I have been working my tushie off trying to get this done before her shower Saturday!!! I cannot wait to show and tell all my hard work!

Here's a clue... It is toile! (no I didn't accidentally leave off the other "t" at the end!) It is a very famous Dutch pattern, and so very attractive!
