Fauna and Sese

Last night Fauna brought over Sese's dress (with Mrs. Ausman who helps with the jeweling.) It's soooooooooooooo amazing!! She'll be wearing it tomorrow in Iowa! Thanks Fauna Gille Designs, the dresses keep getting better and better.....

PS. What should Sese and I pose like for this year's Oireachtas picture? (Here's a pic of last years.) We don't want to do the same thing! Any suggestions?

Recent Projects

Here's some pics of things I've been making lately:

I knitted the matching scarf & hat for my American Girl dolls...
And I crocheted this adorable little polar bear. ;) His name is Snowball, isn't he cute??

I really have been bad about blogging....I'll get into it more...I promise....

We're leaving for the Iowa State Feis tomorrow, so that will be something. Please comment, what do you think of the things I've made!?

I've got to get up early tomorrow, so bye!

Madison feis Results:

We had a great Madison Feis this last Saturday!
1st Hornpipe
2nd Slip Jig
2nd Reel
2nd Jig

Selena:
1st Hornpipe
1st Treble Jig
1st Slip Jig

Izzy:
2nd Hornpipe
3rd Jig
5th Reel

Miranda:
2nd Hornpipe
2nd Reel
3rd Jig

Izzy and Meema were dancing in the same group for Hornpipe, and they tied in 2nd! Selena got 3 trophies. I got 1 trophy and well...2 medals, because Mom didn't see me on the results thing they posted on my Slip Jig. But when I looked at the results online, I found out that I actually had placed!! Yay! Now I'm qualified for Oireachtas, so we don't have to worry about that. Now I just have to focus on getting into the next level, Preliminary Championship (by winning Reel and Slip Jig.)

This was only Izzy and Meema's second feis in a new level, it was really nice for them to get so many places!! Well, today, Novice, tomorrow, Open Championship!

Sese is 3/4 of the way to the PC--she just needs 1st place in Reel, and she has to get Miss Fauna's approval! Who will get there first, her or me?????? ;) :)

Lemondrop goes to the library

Here are the pictures of when we took Lemondrop to the library. I don't know why this thing isn't letting me put captions up so I'll do them here; first mom and Lemondrop in the car, Izzy and Lemondrop in the reading-thingy, Lemondrop doing some puzzles, and Lemondrop helping Izzy pick out some books. :)

Adventures with Lemondrop!!

When the Duluth Munson's went home from their trip here on Friday, Saturday and Sunday a few weekends ago (to be posted about later), we found they had left one of their crew. Seamus was the first one to find him (see the pic.) So we've been taking care of Lemondrop the penguin. He's been going all over town with us! Next post is Lemondrop at the library which I will do soon. :)
