Fearless!!!

Three words to describe my oldest daughter Erika. FEARLESS... INDEPENDENT... SMART. I knew it from the first day I saw her that she'll be all three of those. The way she developed, handled herself and acted thru her almost 4 years of life. I love seeing her grow everyday into a bit of a copy of me. She is so independent at times that it somehow irritates me and I still want to do things for her, thinking she is my little precious baby. As I started to realize how fast she was growing I try to spend more time with her, learning her character, the way she learns things, sees things and understands it. Today is her first day of piano lessons and she was talking about it none stop. Her little reward for behaving good, is gymnastic/ballet lessons, that she is very excited about.
A few days ago I spotted her trying to skateboard on a adult neightboor skateboard. Not sure where she learned the technique, but she was out there kicking the board in front of her and jumping on it with out any fear what so ever. As I was trying to take pictures of her, I was hoping she would fall with every jump she took.
As her aunt commented about this picture "Fearless! Love her little bow in her hair she knows how to stay true to her girliness and "daredevil" side."

New Look for the Fall

It's been some time since I did any dramatic changes to my hair. A blonde streak here, an inch cut off there... and that was about all the change that was done for years. Finally I decided that it's time and a change would do me good. Ever since I had it done, I've been not recognized by many of the people that know me. It's funny to see people looking at you a minute longer than usual trying to recognize you. It took me some time to get used to myself, but at the end up am very happy with the result and most important my hubby could not stop complimenting my new look. I guess mission accomplished. Will I stay with this color? No, Not for as long as I did with blonde, I will definetly go blonde again, but for now..... Enjoying new me.

Here is before and after pictures, You decide.

Before....

After....

Rain... Rain... Rain...

"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

As the rain has been pouring I've been kniting away, filling, and shipping orders for warm hats of all sizes and colors. For some reason, more than ever, I am very excited about Fall this year and looking forward to warm sweaters, boots and coats. Lately I've been into bright colors of thread and have created several hats for boys and girls.
