Finally!

I am finally posting a few bows. Let me know if you like, and we'll work a deal!! :) Someday this will be all ready for real business!!!!!! I'm hoping. So help me out and take the good deals i'll give you now, and get the word out that my bows are worth buying. I have to start somewhere, and this is my somewhere. I can make a bunch of the each of these kind. I'll put on a few better pictures of the first bow, cause I didn't get the greatest shot of the details of it. It's one of my favorites though. email me or comment and let me know what you think. lisastradling@gmail.com, or just push that good old comment button and type away!!!! :) love you all for coming to my blog!

Patience and nonsense.

So we are all just going to be patient with Lee-la-lou. I am not abandoning my original plan in beginning this blog. I am still making bows, but just have put it on the back burner for just a minute until I get things COMPLETELY organized. So bear with me, and keep coming. If you have any requests or ideas, please share them with me.  Until than...enjoy my random posts.

I've been having lots of fun with my camera. Sayla has so enjoyed roaming wherever she wants so i can play. It's a win win play date for mother and daughter. I'll tell you what. I sure think utah's beautiful. Even when the weather gets cold and i turn into Scrouge, I still love this place. 

"Oh my goodness" is what this picture above is. It's one of my favorite phrases she says.

If any of you know my husband, this picture above will make you laugh. I'll just say this....his nick name is "SNIFFORD" She has taken after her dad.

Sunday afternoon.

Sunday afternoon fun with 3 of my nieces and Graham. They make me smile. I was just outside my parents taking pics, and next thing I knew, I had 3 little girls posing and dancing in front of the camera. How cute are they?? I love them. As soon as Bodie knew what was going on, he hopped right on outside to be apart of the party. They are the best at cheesy grins. LOVE THEM!

Preoccupied by new camera.

I will be occupied taking pics of bows very soon. :) I'm so excited about my new camera.

 This is my sweet new niece Goldie Jane. Yes that bow is a Lee-La-Lou bow. It looked darling on her precious self. Love her.

 To get sayla to look at the camera is almost impossible, so this picture truly is a miracle. :) love her.

p;p;;l;

The girls in the bow are what make them cute!!!!

It's been slow and coming. I haven't figured out the problem with my comments, but hopefully you'll still come and look at what's new. Here are the latest. :) The headbands are not part of it. just the bows. It so fun to try something new.

country lands

There is nothing like feeling the freedom of a small town. We have been in St. Johns AZ for about 2 weeks now, and it has been great. I do miss my family dearly, and am so excited to go back. I have 2 new babies awaiting. A neice and a nephew were born during that 2 weeks. Being here has definitely made me appreciate the city for many reasons, but also appreciate the openess and freedom of a small town. Sayla absolutely has loved the outdoors. I am a totally different person now that i am a mom. I never dreamed of being so perinoid about everything. Being in a small town with all the critters, there is just a tad bit of yuck that goes through my mind when sayla is out with so many different creatures poop. Yes that's what goes through my mind. No i don't let her near it, but just the thought of all the animals around that poop on the ground that she's playing in. I know I might get made fun of for saying all this, especially from my fellow St Johns friends, but I guess it's just a fact that i did not grow up my whole life around the farm country. it's all good. I just appreciate it for lots of other things than the stress of the mess.

Happy 4th of July.

I know it's a little late, but hope you all had a great 4th. We had a blast. Sayla tried really hard to like the fireworks, and lasted the first few minutes, and then lost it. We ended up watching the fireworks inside the big bus. She loved it. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Maybe I say that when every holiday comes around. But i do have a special place in my heart for this country, and the freedoms we enjoy everyday. I know i take for granted so many things, and it's this time of year that I get reminded of the many blessings i have. Thank you to all who have served this country and who are serving right now.
