My Welcome Home Package

As soon as I finished smothering Babe and the boys in kisses upon my return from Mexico, I tore into my awaiting Chuck Pinnell package...

Inside, my much anticipated needlepoint belt finished with Chuck's sterling hoof pick...

I may have to dub this one as my all time fav completed projects and can not wait for my red velvet Belgians to arrive and officially complete my uniform du jour...

And, killing two birds with one stone, a pic of the belt annnd a filled request for a sneak at my tan. Anymore than this sliver of exposure under my Petite Bateau tee and Dr. Proper will have a coronary over his Morning Dew...

Kindness of good ole Maxminimus for the heads up that my hoof pick (he has a more colorful name) buckle apparently has now made it onto the TSA's list of regulated items allowed for carry-on. Between this and the pearl handled buck knife charm on my bracelet I'm a walking lethal weapon...XXOO

    See, Allie? You're spurring on the economy. Tell Babe that (think he'll buy it?)You truly are an All-American Girl.

  9. This reminds me! Since my mentioning a JDR after reading your post about it so long ago my BF drinks one daily, he can't get enough!

    So I should be thanking you for my toned arm muscles, courtesy of lugging home cases of MD from the grocery store!

  13. Very, very handsome! Lol ;-) at the more colorful name for hoof pick! I think Belgians are perfection on a woman, but only on a woman, yes?

  17. What a fun and cheerful blog you have. I'm delighted to have discovered it. By the way, I advocate that both men and women wear Belgians...they're too fun to limit to just one of the sexes.
