Moving my blog

It seems that the shabbyblogs background will not go away on my blog so I am starting another one.  You can find my new blog here.  Since I am moving and starting fresh, I decided to change the name as well.  For some reason everyone calls me Ladybug at work so I am now The Crocheting Ladybug!  Please follow the new blog so you can continue to get updates.

Have a great day!!

I was very bad today!

At lunch I was heading out to get a gift for our daycare provider for her birthday today.  My car kinda steered itself to the left instead of the right and pulled up to the fixture store where they sell all kinds of cool stuff.  I picked up some pink t-shirt bags to make the Mad Willy Hat by Red Heart.

Volkswagen Star Wars Dog Ad

Joanne saw this last night and went bonkers.  She was barking along with the dogs.  Mike pulled it up on the computer and played it back twice for her.  She cried when he would not play it again.  So this is a must add to my blog so I can find it easily for her.  Love the Whippet At-At at the end.  Bark on!!

JC Raulston Arboretum Photographs

Here are some of my favorites from our family trip to the JC Raulston Arboretum a few weeks ago.  Joanne had a blast running around and thought all the paths with her Daddy while I followed behind with the camera.  I can't wait to go back again later in the springs when things really start blooming.  They have a butterfly garden that would be lots of fun to photograph.

Used the Sepia filter on this one.  Very dramatic I think.

Some of the trees and flowers are starting to bloom already in January.  

Confusing weather we are having in NC.

Pretty Irises rising early from their slumber.

Playing around with the setting and focus on this one.

This post caught my eye for some reason.

This rain chain was hanging on the back side of one of the buildings by the desert garden.  

Used the black and white filter to give the photograph more depth.

Part of the waterfall by the entrance.  

Used the sepia filter on this one too.

Jo Jo playing on a gazebo in the Winter Garden I think.  

This place is huge and Mike was using the map so I could take pictures.
