Emmy Pics, Gifts & Awards...

...Not necessarily in that order.

Whew! This has been a busy week for me. I've had Emmy nearly every day and had other things to do besides. I'm working on some crochet projects for a certain Nana and her new granddaughter that's expected to make an appearance the first week in March and that's taken a large measure of my leisure time that's usually spent blogging and commenting.

It's a labor of love, though, truly it is, and I'm pleased with my efforts so far. I'm sure the Nana I mentioned will share some pictures when she receives her package, and I'll take some pictures before I mail the package to share with those who may not read her blog, although I don't know many people who DON'T read her.

Is that vague enough for you? I'll reveal all soon, I promise, for those of you who may still be in the dark regarding that Nana's identity.

Now, though, I want to share what was inside a package I received last Saturday in the mail. I wasn't expecting anything and was surprised when Lamar said he had to go back to the mailbox and retrieve a package in addition to the usual bills and stuff addressed to "Occupant", whoever that might be. I just throw his mail in the trash since he never comes by to pick it up. ;-)

I was delighted to see that the package was from my dear blogging friend, PEARL @ CAMEO AND LACE (private blog). She sent 3 outfits for Emmy, the cutest little purse you ever saw with a pink poodle on it and a little pink poodle figure that sits in the purse, and a card of purple hair clips. It'll be a while before Miss Emmy can use the hair clips, but the rest of the things she can wear now! As you can see in the pictures, Emmy is still working on growing some hair.

Here she is wearing the first outfit. You can't really see the
denim skort that goes with the sun top but it it's adorable on her.
That's Grandpa Lamar she's sitting with there. I wish
I had a better picture, but Emmy's mood deteriorated
right after I took this and this was the best of the
lot I had already taken.Here's the purple outfit that the purple hair clips
coordinate with so well. Don't you love the fur
collar on this one and the tulle over the skort?And here's the pink poodle purse and pink and grey
dress combo. It has a long sleeved pink onesy with it,
and the dress can be worn alone or with the onesy.And now just some random pics of Emmy that
I've taken over the last week or so.

See my teeth?!Yep, just call me T R O U B L E! ;-)What she was after --- Abbie the cat is very
tolerant, but not up for being chewed and slobbered
upon, for some strange reason that Emmy
just cannot understand.Since Abbie won't cooperate, Emmy will find
something else to get into, never fear!
And this last one I took at church last Sunday.
Emmy was dressed up in a pretty pink frilly
dress and headband but I was the only one
in our Sunday School class at the time and
Emmy was bound and determined to jump
off the table if I let go of her for more than
3 seconds. I wanted some full length pictures
of her with her pretty dress, and some of her
with me, but it just didn't happen, so this was
the best I could do. I had to hold Emmy with
my left hand and take the picture with my right,
so I could only take a picture of what I could see

at arm's length.And now to acknowledge some awards. Please don't be offended if I leave you out, it's only an oversight and not a deliberate slight, I promise. If I inadvertently fail to acknowledge an award you've given me, please just email me and I'll take care of it as soon as I can.

Both KAREN @ KAREN'S KORNER and MARY @ MARY'S WRITING NOOK have honored me with the Cool Cat Award. Thank you, ladies, and I think you're both pretty Cool Cats as well! ;o)

KAREN and MARY both gave me the Toadally Awesome Award, and KAREN also gave me the Royal Banana Award.

LISA @ KENTUCKY WOMAN has given me Forever Friends Award and the Spreader of Love Award, and LYNNE @ LYNNE'S LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD has flattered me with The You Make My Day award.

Thank you all, dear ladies! Your love and friendship is precious to me, and please know you're loved and "friended" right back.

You can find these and all my awards on MY AWARDS PAGE.

I'll have Emmy all day Saturday so I'll certainly be busy. I'll crochet when I find a few minutes, such as when Emmy's napping. Unless I'm wiped out and nap when Emmy does, that is. I'll also be back to post my Sunday Dinner later on Saturday evening. And as of right this minute I have no idea what Sunday Dinner will be this week. Hopefully inspiration will strike me between now and posting time.

Y'all have a great Saturday!
