Well, I guess I had better say something about not saying anything.

Life happens quickly. Life brings changes and busy days. I feel like this year I have went from one crisis to another. I have embroidered things and made things but, so far most of them have made it to their new owners without being photographed and put on the blog. Now I am finishing up with the piano lessons for the summer. I have lessons to give on Mon, Tues, Wed and next Mon. Then I am done for the summer. I have about 5 projects started and several projects finished. I will post pictures of those as soon as possible.

I can promise that it will take a little time, right now I try to keep alot of time open to go visit my niece who is stuck in the hospital for an extended amount of time. She is 27 weeks and counting trying very hard to keep calm, cool and collected to keep from having her precious cargo to soon. So you will have to forgive me if picture posting takes second, third or fourth place to the being on call to visit my niece.

I pray that your days are smooth sailing and your dreams and projects are being completed at record speed.

New Year and much I want to do.

The New Year has come and my goal for this year is make lots of things. I want to make so many things, lots of projects. My sister and I would even like to sell things at a Bazaar this year. So, I am hoping to get many things done. It has been a very busy Christmas and New Year already. We welcomed a brand new Grandson (he is more than just cute, but I might be prejudiced on that). Visited with 4 of our 5 children and their families. Eaten out more than I care to remember (that's because for a good week I was feeling to crummy to cook) and had a great time. I didn't finish all of my projects... I will get them done this year. I need to get copies of some of my projects and put them online (some of the gifts were given before I took pictures) So... those I will have to beg pictures from the owners. But, life is good. Talking with one of my sisters I was reminded how blessed I was this year. My husband is working, we have a home and a car (it was paid off this month) and so many things to be greatful for. So many have no homes, no jobs, and feel that all is hopeless. Let me tell you world it is not hopeless there is hope and there is a God and he knows and loves each and every one of us. If you doubt it, just look at our world and see the beauty of it. Look at a baby and listen to it's laughter and see the delight of a mother holding her precious new born. Yes, I have a whole list of wonderful things to feel greatful for. May your New Year be filled with hope, love and a greater understanding of all that you do have in your life.

Busy times are fun times

Well life is getting more busy all the time. My piano students have started up their lessons again. I had a friend come out to visit and we did alot of things with embroidery (she couldn't be left out of the embroidery field when she saw how much fun I was having) so I was busy showing her tips and fun things to do. I learned how to do a project on crosstitch fabric and boy was I impressed at how well it turned out. I am going to finish my Halloween projects and get them off in the mail this week. So the pictures for that I hope to have up on the blog before Friday. I have been doing my favorite projects too. So here are a couple of pictures for you to see and I will get the others on the blog soon.

Summer is over!

Summer is over and boy have I had a great summer. I was lucky enough to go and visit my daughters and their families. I have some pretty great kids all 5 of them. I was lucky enough to have a new grandaughter born in June... 10 pounds 3 oz. She is a big girl, healthy, happy and beautiful. I start teaching piano again next week and I have been doing some embroidery work too. This week our oldest grandson is spending the week with us... I have received hugs and kisses what a big treat. Since he is a big guy now, 6'2" and handsome to boot. I think I like having them come and spend time with me like this. Maybe next summer the next in age will get to come for a week. They grow so fast and then they are gone starting their own life... nope I am not going to get maudlin I am happy to have the time with each one of my children and grandchildren I am blessed truly blessed.

Hallowed Moon Pictures

Well promised to show the pictures for the Hallowed Moon book. Jacket and bag.

Busy days and nights

Well, I am going to be busy for the next several weeks. So as I find a moment or two I will try to add the things that are finished. If I can't do them that fast, I will be posting lots and lots later. I will just have to catch you up on everything then. Have fun and be safe and enjoy your summer, just don't forget to check back in by July. I know I will have things to show you by then.

Newest baby set

I know you have been waiting for the newest set for baby, but the newest one is much the same as one of the others. Lady bugs are still popular.
