When you're sick...and you're bored...what do you do?

Make a Maidens IV Poster!
I have (eh, had...it's going away, which is good. :-P)a cold, and I was bored last night, so I made a poster for Maidens IV!

Polka-Dots and Vintage Aprons

Mom and Dad picked up some adorable polka-dot dishes at Target that were marked down $10 from $40. Here they are...pictured with a red gingham vintage apron.

Our Concert

K, C, and I all did a mini concert for my parents.
We played Star of the County Down and Congress Reel, two traditional Irish pieces. (We also played Rights of Man, another traditonal Irish piece, but we didn't get a video of that because the camera ran out of space)

Well, here's the video of our exploits:

K and C Visit

K playing with my dolls:


C playing violin:


All of us with our instruments...K doesn't really play the recorder well, but it was the only instrument she somewhat plays, other than the piano. She was attempting to play my bodhran...but she really ought to have a 14" or 16" one instead of a 18".


I took this adorable shot of C and K...I suppose that the photography book really was right, be prepared to take pictures of the unexpected...not just the posing ones. :-)


The instruments. We made quite a lot of noise earlier...but in reality, it didn't sound too bad. K kept the beat on the bodhran and Charity played the violin, and I worked on keeping up with the guitar.

Cedar Point

Dad and I went to Cedar Point last Saturday.

The Froghopper...this was my favorite ride back in the days when I was short enough to go on it:


The Matterhorn...I almost went on this but then my stomach didn't feel very good. Turns out it was because all I had had for lunch was half a cinnamon pretzel and a bag of cotton candy. Hardly the most healthy snack. I had a hamburger and some water and that made me feel better.


Sky Ride (cable cars) sign.

I got some videos too, but Blogger wouldn't load them for some reason. If I can get it to work though, I'll post them later.

Laylie arrived!

My new A Life of Faith doll, Laylie Joyful Colburt arrived on Friday. I was waiting for a day that didn't have 50mph wind or hard, hammering rain to take pictures though. :-) I came up with the middle name "Joyful". I liked it better than just plain "Joy."
