Bee Happy!

Things have been buzzing in the Yesteryear Acres Studio!

Here are a few of the latest creations

I love tigers!

Gerber Daisies for Spring

One can never have too many peacocks

Or feathers

Or entire pictures

Okay - I admit it. I have a thing for peacocks. I just love all the colors!

Can't have a spring shirt without a piggie!

Elephants are fun to design as well

AND since I am very new to all of this, Today I took a fun embroidery class!

I learned how to make a notebook journal cover.

The front even has a place for a pen!

The back of the cover

An eyeglass case

A travel sewing case

and more!

It was fun to learn so many new techniques!

Bee Happy!

Petunia's cute little Goldendoodle puppies started going to their FURever homes today. It will be a busy weekend full of tail wagging devotion to say the least! To get the puppies tired before their car rides home, we usually walk them all around outside until they are ready for a nap. However, Mother Nature had other plans, and it stormed and then rained, and then rained some more all day long. Luckily my gentle giant Ernie McDoodle was on the case! Once the puppies went potty outside, I brought them inside, dried them off, and then let the puppies play with Ernie.

Oh boy! It's my best friend Ernie!

You make the best jungle gym!

Just have to climb this mountain... be right back!

Wasn't that fun!?

Let's do that again!

YAY! My family is here! Thanks for playing with me Ernie!

Now I will be a good boy all the way to my new home!

Always,

Amelia

Not quite time for swimming

The weather hasn't been warm for very long. Just four days ago, it was mittens and coat weather so the summer like temperatures are just beginning. I was certain it was not quite time for swimming.
