Do you play LaCrosse in the rain?

YES!!!My son Jack is trying a new sport....lacrosse.
Here he is all geared up and ready to play.
This is the first game this team has ever played.
See how shiny and wet the parking lot looks. It's been raining and pouring the whole morning with no sign of sunshine.
Still raining.
It was about 57 degrees and pouring rain for most of the game.

I think the ball is somewhere in the puddle.
Well, Jack says he loves playing lacrosse. He said it was the most fun game he has ever played. If you can play the game in the rain, playing the best team in the area, loosing 15-0 and still say I love this game well I guess you do.
Jack, I'm just happy you can play something you love.
Baseball games start next week...another game he loves playing.
I'll be spending most of time at the lacrosse fields and ball park watching my favorite player.
See you at the game,
Leanne

I really want to sew!

I've been spring cleaning
and although it feels good to have the house clean
I really miss sewing and my favorite things to sew are...Raggedy Dolls.
I like to make them for every holiday.

I love strawberries.I love this school girl Annie.

And polka dots are my favorite.
I have just one more room to clean and maybe I will have time to sew.
Have a happy day,
Leanne

Still Waiting For Spring

This weekend we took a quick trip to see my parents.
They live about 7 hours away in northern Wisconsin in a small town on the shores of Lake Superior.
Jack just loves it up there....what kid wouldn't with a back yard like this.
Lake Superior...still frozen in some places.
Even the beach is frozen.
We roasted hot dogs and watched the stars here last summer.

Spring is still far away here in northern Wisconsin.
So, I would like to thank all of you bloggers that are showing pictures of spring and flowers and gardens.
Happy Spring!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Breakfast of Leprechauns?No, this is breakfast at our house this morning.
The leprechaun was here!
He left his green footprints all over the house, turned our milk green and left a few green goodies.
I always celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
I love the "happiness" of this day!
Have a lucky day!

I become Irish every March 17th!

Punchneedle Pinkeep

I just finished on of my punchneedles and I love it!
I just had to share it with you.
This piece told me it wanted to be a door hanger/pinkeep. I hand stitched the homespun back on and stuffed the little pillow with wool. I thought it needed something more so I added a key that I found in an old box from my grandma's home. That's just what it needed!
I think it's the perfect little prim accessory.
I have this pinkeep on ebay if you would like to see more pictures.
You will find it in Harvest Moon by the Lake ebay store.

Happy Stitching,
Leanne
