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.
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!
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.
....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!
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!
