June Story Scene

    Here is the story scene from the story I have been working on this month.
   
   
   
“Flara are you sure you want to run?  It rained last night and it looks like it could start again any minute.”  Zoe leaned against the wall.  Flara was tying her shoes. 
    “Mom I’ll be fine.  I run in the rain all the time.  I’m wearing my heavy jacket as well,”  Flara stood up and zipped the jacket she wore.  
    “You are so stubborn.  I’ll have a hot cup of tea for you when you get back,” Zoe sighed and turned away.  Flara had too much of her father in her and behind her.  She didn’t really listen to what her mother ever said.  If dad said it was okay, she did it. 
    It did start raining and hard as Flara crossed the road where she always turned just passed Sweet Stream Stables.  She ducked her head to keep the rain from pelting her face.  As she reached the Stables drive way she ran smack into something.

    So last week this was my list of things to finish, 2 to 3 aprons, finish a crocheted bolero for my little sister, sew a re-make dress for another sister, and a new pair of pj's for myself.  And yes I did get all that done even though I have to frog the bolero (not pictured) as it is a little to small.  And I only got 2 aprons done=)  But I am satisfied with what I did get done.   I just wish I had been able to get this post up sooner but....life happens as we all know all to well. 
    So here are pictures of my projects.

Yellow apron. I call it the John Deere Apron as the fist time I wore it I was wearing this dress at it was so the John Deere colors. =) Front view.

My Derby Hat.

    Four days before May 3th (the day of the Kentucky Derby)  I was on Pintesest and saw an amazing hat.  I was looking and looking at it then said (yes out loud) to my self,  I am going to make a Derby hat for Saturday!  It was a possibility I might have to go to a craft fair to help my mom, so I would be able to dress up for another reason than just dressing up.  Yes I was WAY over dressed compared to everyone else.  But it was DERBY DAY!
    I did get to go to the craft fair and loved walking around in my high heels and hat.  While over there I found out that almost NO ONE knew what the Kentucky Derby was!!!!  I have known what it was since I can remember.  But then to I had a horse crazy older sister, who was also big into reading and researching.  
    So, for all reading this who don't know what the Kentucky Derby is.....it is a horse race held at Church Hill Downs in Kentucky.  If you do a goggle or Pinterest search on Kentucky Derby hats you will find some really cool looking hats and some really interesting looking hats. 
    I love wearing hats I think it's one of those things of the past we should bring back into today's fashion.
