Road Trippin weekend K.C.

There's alot more to do in Kansas City than eating great BBQ in your Ruby Slipper's. And my extended family I travel with pack's an agenda that cover's as many kool place's as can be humanly possible to fit in a day! There is no hesitation to pull off the highway to explore an interesting sight to see.. Heh. So it will probably take me all wee k to cover so here we go!


Started our day with a famous Big Momma cinnamon roll that was as big as my face! No lie! It fed 6 of us and still had a quarter left! It was delish!

This place was a crowd pleaser for the kiddie's.  Your meal come's to you on  a train, and you get your own conductor's hat.

A free dinosaur exhibit!

The beginning of LegoLand was just a walk from our room's

A Lego Gentleman to welcome you! Lot's o' Lego to cover tommorow!Happy Mon!

Leather Scrap Ring

My sister and I made leather scrap wrap around bracelet's a while back, and I decided to make a complimenting ring. It can't get any easier than cutting small bit's of leftover leather, layering them and attaching a piece of turquoise to a headpin, and basically threading it all together and securing on a ring base. I'm pretty pleased. We are on a road trip this weekend so I will share soon:) lovely weekend to you! Dawn

Love me a good Farmer's Market

We used to live on a farm, and we loved it. It was my Little House on the Praire dream come true.
Yeah our house was built around an 1800's log home, and had settled to quirky crookedness, and was drafty in winter and hot in summer, but we loved it nonetheless.
Outside we were surrounded by outbuilding's, a giant red barn complete with silo, and plenty of cow's that mooed you to sleep, horses, out our bedroom window, and chicken's to cluckety cluck you "good morning".
And in the summertime you could stand in the kitchen and watch the giant garden growing corn, squash, okra, tomatoes, pickling cucumber's, lettuce's, and more.
Since those day's are long gone, I have resorted to the next best thing. Ye ol' Farmer's market. It has a certain atmosphere, that makes you feel, a little hip, a little healthier, and the buzz of people around the colorful stand's seem's just as happy as the buzz of the bee's drawn to the ripe fruit's and flower's.
Unlike when we were kid's and it was a novelty to come across a roadside stand, or better yet a farmer's market, I am happy to see so many popping up all over from country to city. If you haven't stopped by your local stand , grab a bag, (recycled-green of course )and pick up some tomato's for a B.L.T., or some buffalo burger for a delicious change. I think you would enjoy! Happy Thursday!
