A Finish and A Party

It is finally cooling down here in Orlando and it couldn't happen at a better time.  Saturday we had the party for Little John and Zane and they had a blast.  Some months ago I was at Wally World (Walmart) and in the clearance section was a bounce house for little ones.  The price was only $50 for the house, the blower and a bag to store it in so I bought it.  It was the perfect size because it fits on their enclosed back patio so if it rains they can still play on it.  Zane was very perturbed because he wasn't allowed.  He needs a few more months and then he'll be ok.

As you can tell Zane had no trouble digging into the cake.  That boy can eat!!!!

John is more reserved when eating and he really doesn't like sweets that much.

Zane looks bored and Little John loved the truck on the top of the cake.

This is Peyton's father and Zane....grandpa and grandson.  It's hard for me to imagine him as a grandfather when I remember him graduating high school.  Now he's a teacher and is great with kids.

I do have a finish to share with you.  I love looking at Pinterest and I came across this freebie from Durene Jones.  I stitched it on a mystery green hand dyed linen using floss and then finished it into an ornament.

I added some red beads and I stick pin with a holly leaf for in his cap.  

I found this fabric in my Xmas fabrics and thought it was perfect for the backside of it.

On to making for ornaments and anything else I can get finished before Christmas.  I was going to try and start Peyton's Beauty and the Beast pattern but I think that would be pushing my luck to get that finished so we'll try for next year's birthday.

I hope your week has started out with lots of love and laughter,
Blessings, Barbara

P.S.  On the last post someone by the name of montse v left a message for me to contact her.  I am unable to find her email address so if you read this please email me at grammy5822@gmail.com.  Thank you

Those boys are so cute. My grandson was more like John. He really never dug into a birthday cake. His sister was another story!!
