    Siobhan is Pining for My Plums.

    I'm sorry, this post has absolutely nothing to do with that title, but after reading Siobhan's blog, I was kind of bummed that she didn't go with the original title she came up with for her post, so I decided that someone had to use it. So there it is.

    Kind of looks bad up there, now that I think about it.

    Anyway, if you haven't read Siobhan's blog before, you should head on over with a cup of coffee and look around. And keep a credit card next to your mouse, bc you're going to need it after seeing all of her stitching posts.

    But before you go over there, I'd love to share with you some pictures of Sophie's bathroom! (I know, who cares about stitching when you can look at bathroom photos!)

    When Sabrina left for college this year, Sophie decided it was time for her to move in to Sabrina's bathroom and claim it as her own. She carefully cleaned out drawers and cabinets, and then placed all of her own cosmetics and cotton balls lovingly inside the newly-emptied spaces. Then she asked to be taken to Wal-Mart to choose a new color scheme, and since she's the baby, I dropped everything I was doing and took her there.

    Since I wasn't going to be painting the bathroom, she chose bright colors to go with the aqua color that was already in there. I love how it turned out!

    I stitched this little Bent Creek design for her when she was a toddler…

    She insisted that the handsoap match the decor…

    …and I surprised her with a little iHome iPod dock that plays all the Selena Gomez tracks a girl could want… and trust me when I say that Sophie takes singing in the shower to a new level..

    This is my favorite part of her bathroom… she used to love taking baths in the kitchen sink.

    And that's it!

    Okay, you can go look at Siobhan's stitching now. And before I forget – you'll not only need your credit card handy, but you may need a bottle of Clearasil too. Just sayin'…

    Sophie has been begging me to get costumes for the dogs this year. I'm not sure the Yorkie likes that idea very much…

    Friday looks none too pleased with the notion either…

    Nope. Not one bit.

    Tasha, however, seems eager to look a little different, if only for a night…

    Bless her heart.

    I haven't decided yet if Sophie will get her wish or not.
