A Preview of What's To Come: Butterflies!!!

Aaaack! I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I've blogged!

*

My husband had a back injury a couple weeks back and has had this week off of work {doctor's orders!} Thank heavens he is on salary and not paid hourly!

*

My husband is a wonderful man! We always do household work together and I can always count on him to help keep the house clean.

*

So, now that he's been unable to help, and has really been completely off his feet for a week now, my house is in pretty rough shape! I've got four great sons who really help out! But I'm sure I have Mt. St. Laundry ready to explode in the next several odd hours if I don't go into my mudroom to curtail it!

*

By the evening, I'm completely exhausted and ready to sit down with my hubby and watch a little bit of Monk {the t.v. series on DVD}. Every evening I've been crafting away, creating more and more butterflies!

*

I've created three more {different} sets of silk butterfly hair clips, which have turned out lovely! I'm sorting through photos today and will hopefully get some listed next week.

*

I've also created 4 sets of silk butterfly earrings.

I'm so happy with the way they've turned out!!! They are so light and lustrous and float and flutter in the breeze! I'm excited to start listing them next week too!

I also couldn't help but create a set of nest shoe clips with silk butterflies, and have plans to make some with white butterflies this next week.

*
Well, I'm off to hang more laundry out on the line, see if we can get our riding lawn tractor fixed and up and going, and get going on folding about eight loads of laundry. :P
*
I'm planning on a nice summery dinner tonight {to go with our 70 + degree sunshiney weather} : taco salad with black beans, lettuce, cheese, homemade guacamole, salsa, chips and french dressing! And lemon bars sound so good for dessert! Though I'm not sure I'll have time to make them!
*
Sigh . . . laundry is calling my name! Have a BEAUTIFUL weekend!

Fondly, Kate
