Tif's Surprise

Every month Terry gives me a bouquet of flowers.  Yep, he loves me!  He hadn't given me March's bouquet before I left town.  So what does he do?  He has them delivered to me at my mom's house!  Aren't they beautiful?!  They looked so refreshing compared to the drab, winter infested weather we were experiencing.  They lasted the entire 2 weeks we were in Utah.  Thanks, hon!

Anytime I leave town & Terry stays behind, he tries to do some remodeling work on the house.  I hate the mess that comes with remodeling, so I'm quite happy living with the 70's decor:)  That is except for the CAVE we live in on the main floor!  In the family room & front room there are no ceiling light fixtures.  We've made do with like 3 dozen lamps between those 2 rooms for lighting.  So Terry scraped the lovely popcorn ceiling in the family room & had a neighbor install the light fixtures.  He even had the ceiling textured, primed, and painted by the time we returned to WA!  

He left the actually light fixtures for me to go choose & purchase.  I like the marbled/swirled look of this one.  So we got 2 for the family room and one for our dining room to replace our lovely 70's chandelier.  

SO MUCH BRIGHTER!!!!  The switch is actually a dimming switch so that we can adjust it.

Terry is SOOOOO "MY MAN"!!

Scarecrow

While on Vacation, I wanted to make Sally's birthday present.  I loved this pattern when I saw it!  

I loved the patches on the scarecrow.  I even put one on his butt:)

The crow was simple and I also loved the straw hair on his head, arms & legs.  There's just so much detail in this pattern I can't name them all.  I had a TON of fun making this for my mom-in-law!

Now I just need to make ME one:)

Clark's Planetarium

We went to Clark's Planetarium in down town Salt Lake City.  The first thing we did was hit the souvenir store.  Get the worst over with first, I say:)

Then we went to the 3D Sea Life movie.  We're so cool in our special glasses;)  

Obviously Brynn thinks so, too.

After the movie we went to see the exhibits.  You could pretend you were the weather man.  

Although, they lie a lot.  So we're not particularly fans of "weather men".

Or you can be on a planet...

Or the moon...

Or touching Earth.

And this is just a cool globe that had awesome images on it and the guard rails that Livvy's slinky got tangled up in.
