man on a mission

Congratulations to a very deserving 2010 Master's Champion!

Thank you Phil for being the loving family man that you are. Thank you for winning this year and showing the golfing fans that good guys finish first!

We share your joy.

I've been listening to the Golf Channel this 'morning after' about Phil's win. He did get into trouble on the course like he tends to do, but had the guts to go for the glory. Lucky number 13. I want to play like that, and thank Phil for the inspiration.
I'm so proud of him winning, this year especially. I feel like he was trying to prove a point... with all the media focus on one guy, that good guys are great golfers too. He wanted this win, wanted it for the world of golf, wanted it for Amy and his family. Amy will win out over her breast cancer this year too, I just know it.

Golf Gal or Biker Chick?

I had to do a golf post in honor of Master's week, right?!
Bad to the ball

I do love argyle!

It's all about attitude!

Skulls are not really my style,
but I could see smacking that bad ball around...
it's such a pretty shade of pink!

Or how about hittin' these colorful balls from PunkRockz
...wouldn't they stand out on the course?!
I don't think we'll see these at the Masters!

sewing a basket liner

This was Carter's first Easter, and as his grandmother... I had to give him a basket, right?! And of course I had to make a basket liner for it and embroider his name on it, right?!
(kinda like if you give a mouse a cookie)
And besides, it's so easy to do with my Brother...

I actually embroidered the name on the fabric first before sewing the liner. I positioned it to make sure it would be right side up when I turned it over the outside of the basket, and then pushed start and the machine stitched away. I followed these directions using my basket measurements, but instead of using elastic I used ribbon in the casing.

the finished result...

The adults received candy filled Tervis Tumblers
as their Easter present
See how thrilled he is with his basket and all his goodies!

now... what to craft next???

love, Hattie

what's in your Easter basket?

I'm lovin' what the bunny put in this one!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way...

Family is coming in tonight and tomorrow, so before life gets too busy, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter and a wonderful holiday weekend with your loved ones.
We'll be baking & cooking, playing a little tennis & grilling out and just celebrating being together. Baby Carter will get to meet his great-Grammy Jane and his 2nd Cousins Rob and Steve for the first time. The weather will be picture perfect here in Atlanta and we plan to take full advantage of it! We are blessed indeed!
See y'all next week.
