Jo from 'Home Sweet Home' is having a 100th post giveaway, and her question is, "what are three crafty things you can't live without". Very thought provoking and hard to narrow down three, but I came up with my machines, my iron, and my rotary cutting tools. What are yours? If you go to Jo's blog and let her know and post it on your blog, you'll be entered in her giveaway and you'll also be able to congratulate her on her wonderful blog.
If you follow my blog you probably already are aware that I love the Sand Cranes. I was very excited yesterday to have five in the field behind my house, and it was like they waited for me to get my camera, and then they stayed there as long as I liked to have their pictures taken. Notice the cow watching in the background, that can give you an idea of how big the birds are, they are really tall, and I think that they are beautiful with their red heads.
I got to spend the afternoon yesterday with my DD, we went to Ikea, it was her first time, and she couldn't believe how big the store is. I told her it was like 2 Targets. We didn't make any major purchases, but got a few little good deals. I got a new chair for my sewing room and after I get it put together I'll take a picture of old and new, and you'll see why I needed a new one. After we walked and walked for about 2 hours or so we went to Bahama Breeze, my favorite restaurant and had a really nice splurge. We had the Roasted Cuban bread, which is toasty bread with sweet tomatoes and basil on top, then a fruit cup with I believe mango sorbet, and shared the lobster, shrimp pasta. It was more than enough for both of us, and truly did have shrimp and big pieces of lobster in every bite. It was a very nice day with my daughter and we both enjoyed the time together.

Love the new heading. I always enjoy seeing the sand cranes on your blog, as we don't get anything anywhere near as big as that roaming free, though we can see them in zoos and wildlife parks. Glad you had a good time with your daughter. Ikea is great as long as you know what you want before you go there, otherwise I find it quite frustrating. But it's such good value. I'm delighted with my recent purchases from there, and amazed at how easily they all went together.
Love seeing the sand cranes, we see them here often. so happy you had a nice day with your daughter and I hope I can get together with mine soon. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Marie
The cranes are really pretty. We have great blue herons here and I love them.
Your Sandhill Crane pictures are really great. I love the red on its head. This is a bird I seldom see so your pictures are a real treat!
Good job on a new chair. I'll have to think about it for awhile, but I think my good office chair was one of the best things I ever did to add pleasure to my sewing.
