edentrace Originals

Well-I just ventured out into the Facebook realm.

I know...I know...Facebook is old news...and I actually had a

FB once...for about a week or two ;o)

I deleted it...too much drama!

My philosophy is....

If you're not comfortable enough to say something to

someone's face...then it probably shouldn't be said.

SO, DON'T POST IT ON FACEBOOK!

Anyway-I so didn't mean to get in to that. lol I just wanted to let

everyone know that I started a business page called

edentrace Originals. The  link is on the left of my blog.

Stop by and visit. ;o)

It's still under construction-'understatement' have more pictures

coming...when I get more than 10 minutes free time,

I will get them on there.

Lovin' this turkey applique!

My new turkey design is so

adorable I just had to share!

Here it is on a pillowcase dress...

Isn't it a cutie!!!

I also do this on shoulder tie A-line dresses and T-shirts.

The shirts can be done in ribbon colors for boys or girls.

Don't worry -

The ribbons aren't quite as girly on the boy shirts ;o) hehe

I think the pink and brown combo is my favorite..but I

just did a black & white one that was SO adorable!

I so wish I snapped a picture before I mailed it out!

Still ;o( workin' on my website! Dadgum

template just isn't cooperating with me!

Come to think of it- not much has been lately.

...but that's just part of it...

lol-you know what they say...

"what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

If that's true...then I'm a shoe in

for the next tough (wo)man competition ;o)

Clothes for Kitty

Is it just me...or does Jr. look look a bit embarrassed?

Kayla has been playing around with my sewing machine

again. She's been making cat toys and....yep, you

guessed it...cat clothes.

This Christmas ensemble comes with a little elf hat---

'with ear holes' ofcourse and a shirt.

Funny thing is...people actually spend alot of money on

clothes for their animals...Who knows...she may make

a fortune some day!

Memory Lane

I love this picture of the boys!

I ran across it the other

day and just wanted to share ;o)

Aren't they cute!

Dalton was 4 & Ethan was 3...

See Ethan's adorable 'toothless' grin?

When he was 2-he decided he was gonna be a basketball

star. ;o) He jumped off of the little tike picnic table to

make a slam dunk into the little ball goal...but he slipped

and hit the tricycle seat with his mouth. He broke off his

4 front teeth. He was without them until they grew

back around age 8...but he was so cute!

I've been feeling a little sentimental lately ;o) Maybe

it's because my kiddos are growing up too fast!

So-you may be in for some more

trips down memory lane!

Family Tree and Funny Names

I have always been very sentimental. I love to see old pictures and hear stories about the 'old days'...I ran across this site . AND I have been on it for the past 2 days looking at old pictures and tracing the lineage of the Laman family. I have found a few mistakes (hehehe)... and am trying to clear those up with my long lost relative.

ANYWAY

This is my 4th or 5th great grandfather

John Calvin Cook in his Civil War uniform.

This is my grandaddy.

Eldon Laman in his US Army WWII uniform.

He was drafted when he was 17 or 18.

The Laman men have always been Military men---

and always will be ;o) 

I caught myself laughing at some of the names in

the Laman family lineage...some of them are pretty are wierd!

Just to give a few examples:

Ladies' names:

Tennessee Laman

Lovie Lewis

Cenia Laman

Vandera Laman

Cordie May Laman

Jarmie Laman

Men's names:

Byron Coop Laman

Lilburn Laman

Hix Laman

Osborne Laman

Ewell Laman

Olgor Laman

Leasle Laman

Obie Lawrence Laman

Finis Garrett Laman

Men? Women? Who knows?

Lurlie Laman

Tollie Laman

Not to mention the 3 men named 'George Washington Laman'...;o)
