New projects

Becky and I have been working on some new projects recently which have turned out to be a lot of fun. Becky got her ears pierced for Christmas and has therefore been very interested in earrings. A friend of hers made her a pair of earrings and so she wanted to try making some. The following photo is one of all the earrings she has made - plus the one pair her friend made. They turned out nice.

And to hold her fun jewelry, we made a little thing we saw on the internet. We used an old frame, added plastic mesh for earrings, added a few hooks and knobs for necklaces and bracelets, and a ribbon to hang it with. And Becky added stickers so it would be more decorative. It turned out pretty good.

I have been wanting to try sushi for a long time so I finally got the chance on mine and Richard's anniversary. It had cooked meat, not raw, and was very delicious! Then, the next day, I tried some raw sushi. I just can't get past that fishy smell or taste. I think I'm going to have to stick with the cooked stuff. But, it is expensive so I have been making my own the past few days. It's fun! Don't know what my favorite combo is yet, though! I've got lots more to make before I can decide what I like the best.

Richard and I celebrated our 12th anniversary this year. Can't believe it's been 12 years. It seems to have gone by so fast! With each passing year I find myself more and more in love with him! He is just the best!

My girls love to dress up and pretend to be spy kids lately! It seems to be their favorite past time! Emma always has a new name she'd like me to call her and Becky is always coming up with creative inventions and new gadgets for them to be the most effective spy kids!
