♥ Bon Premier Mai!




How precious is this picture?!?!?!?  Quite perfect, for the 1st of May.  :-)




And a precious old Butterick pattern.  And look!  One little girl even has a May Basket in her hand.  Pinafores and little girls with bows in their hair....    Precious...  Precious... Precious...




(Gabriel and "Pop")

 Two years ago today, Gabriel Michael was born.  Early on, one of his siblings called him "Fudge" and it lasted, a while.  I'd not even remember this ("Fudge") unless I had blogged it.  :-)  Another sweet reason for blogging.






I tried taking a bunch of pics of myself, the other day.  I kind of liked this one (above), because it "looked like" I still had a firm neck line.  -gigggggles-  And the bigger size, like above,  a smile could be seen.

But then, when I cropped it down to Icon size, YIKES!!!!   It looks *snoooooooooooootie*.   Like I think of myself, like *Mrs. Astor's Pink Horse*!!!!   (Anyone remember that old saying????) Like I am looking-down-my-nose at everything.  -SIGH-

Oh well, for me, Icon pics are like License Pics.....   When do I/we ever, really like 'em???






I changed my Icon pic!!!!

I changed my Icon pic!!!!!!

There!  That's better!!!  THIS one, does NOT look as if I-think-of-myself-as-*hot shit*  -gigggles-







Bon Premier Mai!

Thank you Dear Readers, for your kind words to me yesterday.  Yes, we all have bits of worry drop in on us, from time to time.  Usually time, makes less of them.

Hope this last one, looks better. Meaning, that it does NOT look like I am so weirdly-proud-of-myself.

I hope!!! -giggles-

I thought both picture of you where lovely - never thought the first one made you look snobbish. I think you are a little hard on yourself.

Hugs,

I used to sew dresses and hats for my girls when they were little; they haven't forgiven me yet!

You are too hard on yourself. You look great. I understand the feeling about photos though.

Love your cute photos - as always.

LOVE your new "do" so sweet and pixie like! And I don't think that you look snootie in the first photo - your 2nd one looks like you have something up your sleeve(wink.

And that baby Gabe is too darn sweet love how big his cheeks were!

Hope that you are enjoying your week!

Congratulations on changing your Icon pic, Auntie!! I love the photos of you my friend. You look very glamourous! Happy Birthday to your gorgeous little Gabriel. Aren't we blessed?! Such a pretty little picture of the two little girls. Love it! Happy May Day to you.Gosh, those Butterick patterns take me back. My mum used to be a Tailoress/Dressmaker, and we used to have so many of these paper patterns in the house!

Hi Auntie!

I like your new picture - you are so beautiful, and you don't look like Mrs. Astor's Pink Horse!! I have never heard that before! I can't even imagine you being snooty!

I hope that Gabe has a fun filled birthday - he's such a little doll! Our little Clara will be one years old on the 4th . . . where has the time gone!?

Hope you are having a better day . . . :0)

Hugs,
Barb
