May Re-Cap--Part 2: Planting Sunflowers, Yard Work & Concerts

 The kids always plant sunflowers with Rusty each year.
 They each planted 1/2 of the area.
 Callum mowing part of the yard.
 Zane "playing" with the lawn mower--he has a lot of fun on this "toy"
 The last concert of the year.  Brienna didn't take band as a class, but she learned the music (very quickly) & played with the band.
 Zane on his trumpet.
Callum on the drums (percussions)
 Emmalee is all "cool" & ready for summer (with the hat & sunglasses)

FREE STUFF!! Giving Away My "Junk"

I know I haven't updated my blog in a while, but I have been de-junking & cleaning since I've been back from Girl's Camp.
I hope to get to some updates after I do some major cleaning.  
(I already have giving a ton of stuff to the thrift store & thrown away twice what I donated!!)
I have been holding on to some of this STUFF for many, many years thinking I'll get to it one day.  But that one day hasn't come yet, and I need to take some of my space back!
Felt owls, foam owls & a roll of raffia  
 Clifford material with a panel of red--I bought this to make a small "travel" quilt for Callum when he was little (I know--just about 10 years too late!)
 This material is probably about 2-3 yards??  Not for sure.
 These also are bigger pieces of material.
Flannel--a few yards (maybe even more) but it's a thinner flannel
 black polyester--I bought this to make a Harry Potter cape for Ethan (sorry Ethan!)
These are smaller pieces--maybe 1 yard or less 
 Enough to make a skirt or dress for a younger girl.
The pale yellow is a big piece--many yards.  The other--a couple yards possibly. 
 These are "scraps"--about 1/2 yard (45")
 Same with these scraps
More smaller pieces. 
 Same--smaller pieces--up to a yard.
enough to make small doll blankets. 
panels--2 snowmen, a panel of princesses, & toy animals 
top is harvest happiness pumpkin door hanging  & the other a giant stuffed turkey 
a lot of lace & ribbon 
new in package interfacing--and then in the baggie pieces of interfacing.  
Girl dress patterns 
quiet book patterns (I made a book for Brienna when she was about 6 months old), kid costume, & toddler outfits 
jackets, pants/shorts, blazer & skirt 
Ok--I know these are dated.  I made these when I first got married (and shortly before!) 
3 women dress patterns & a renaissance costume pattern.

Everything is up for grabs.  If I don't give them away by the end of June, then they will be donated to the thrift store!  
(Laurie, Sherrie, Mom--I can send any or all of this your way with Pamela for the 4th of July)
