Valentine's Day is Fast Approaching....




And that means, break out the decorations! Since red is one of my favorite colors, I can really get into this holiday. I made these two table toppers over the weekend. Previously I have made these same table toppers for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Therefore, a Valentine's Day table topper was in order. I have a few more projects in the works. Tomorrow I will post a picture of another completed project.

Doggone Cool


First up is a picture of my Grandson Beckham. He is sporting his new doggie hat. Although he doesn't look too happy about it, he sure does look adorable in it!
The next picture is a scrapbook page that my Goddaughter Ashley created (with a little help from me). After looking through the scrapbook that I am making for Beckham, she decided she wanted to try her hand at some scrapbooking. I think she did an awesome job.

I'm Back In The Saddle....




Again, as the saying goes. I'm finally back at the sewing machine. Saturday my quilt guild had a get-together at the local library. The purpose was to make things to be sold at our quilt show boutique. Our quilt show is in October. I had to bring my sewing machine.


At this point, let me back up. I stopped quilting right before Christmas so that I could concentrate on the holidays. You know, decorating, cooking, Christmas cards, etc. Well, when I went into my studio to get my sewing machine, I knew why I had not resumed quilting. It looked like a bomb had gone off in there! My entire sewing table was covered with fabric, notions, scrapbooking stuff, beads---you name it, it was there. I had to "dig out" before I could even begin to think about sewing.


With everything back in some semblance of order (my studio will never be totally organized), I could now proceed without guilt. I packed my bags and headed for the library.


Once back home, my sewing area clean, I made these two man bibs for Matthew.

Thursdays :)

Beckham is now 2.5 months old. He is starting to recognize people and has started to smile and babble some. What an exciting time. I love Thursdays. That is our day together. Life is good.

Did I Mention....

....that these necklaces are addicting? I have made these over the last two days. Most of them don't have completed clasps because they are for friends and I like to measure them right to their necks. Some people like the choker style, while others like them a bit longer. What a great way to use up a stash of beads!

No One Can Make Just One


A few weeks, my Goddaughter and I took a beading class at Hobby Lobby. We learned how to make a beaded daisy necklace. You make it with number 11 seed beads. It has become an obsession! Whenever I have some free time, I find myself making one. They are quick, easy, and the color variations are endless. And best of all, you can make them while sitting in your easy chair...lol...

Grandma's Christmas Cutie

Well, ain't it the truth? Beckham celebrated his very first Christmas with us last night. Unfortunately my Grandson is not the party animal he appears to be. He slept through most of the festivities. When he was awake though, he was passed from person to person, gathering all the love a family can give. May your Christmas be blessed with peace, love and joy!
