My First Attempt At Stitching

Better late than never.
I saw these wonderful seasons of the sheep on Char's blog The Pickled Pepper Patch, and even though I didn't know the first thing about stitching them, I kindly asked Jenny from Jenny of Elefantz if she could help me on some basic stitches.

If anyone is looking for wonderful help, tutorials or just a simple question these remarkable ladies fill the bill.


Thanks again Char and Jenny

My Sweet Sweet Jayden

This past Saturday, my very precious first grandaughter turned 9. She is in third grade and already a very talented artist. She has a sister, Adriana who is 4, that was adopted from Guatamala and a set of 2-1/2 years old identical twin brothers.

Happy birthday baby, I love you.

As you can tell, I am a very proud grammie.

As always, take care

TGIF everyone.
News flash, its still snowing. Is there any end in site.
There was no school today, so I had two of my three grandaughters, Jayden and Adriana, over for the afternoon. Jayden will be turning 9 tomorrow.
Yesterday I purchased the pattern, "Fairy In A Jar" from Dawn over at The Feathered Nest. I hope I can do you proud Dawn, will post my finished product as soon as I finish.
I would also like to thank her for getting my blog name out. As a newbie, I look forward to the comments.

Lookey What I Got

Look what came in the mail today. It's my give-away that I won from Rebecca at Rebecca for Vintage Living. There is my absolutely wonderful necklace. You can't imagine how this looks in person. Also, she included a delightful vintage wall hanging. There are different types of lace and buttons and she backed this with vintage music paper.

When I opened the box this is how it was wrapped. My pics don't do it justice. It's just a work of art. I really didn't want to open it and ruin it. But, knowing what was in there, it took me about five minutes taking my time so as not to rip anything.

Again, sorry for my photo. There is a beautiful white bird and a hang tag, lace of all sorts and buttons.

Rebecca is truly a gifted lady and I am truly a gifted person for having won this.

Thank you so much, Rebecca.

As always, take care

Joe Is Turning Sixteen

Joe is our first grandchild and our first grandson.

Here he is on his first birthday. He will be turning
16 in June. I know that I am behind in my scrap-
booking, but here already I need to do a birthday
page for his soon to be sixteenth birthday.

He will be graduating in 2011 and is yet undecided
whether he wants to join the army and become a para-
medic or go to college and study premed. I hope he
decides on the latter.

Oh by the way he is our sons first born son.

Well, I have officially started introducing my wonderful
grandchildren to you. Soon to introduce my soon to be nine
year old granddaughter.

I would also like to thank Rebecca for Vintage Living. I won her wonderful necklace on her give away.

Happy Valentines Day

Hope all of you will be having a great Valentines Day.

We are having dinner out and possibly a movie.

What are your plans?

Also, thanks Gio your help is greatly appreciated.

As always, take care.

Where Did The Time Go

Talk about being computer illerate. It took me almost a year to figure out where to put this and where to put that, let alone how to get a picture up on the screen. So, to all you computer people, if something looks out of place, most likely it is and I don't know how to either remove it or move it.

My goal for this blog is to either show you some of the crafting that I do or tell you about all the excitement that happens in the everyday life of an almost 62 year old unemployed wife, mother and grandmother of 6.

In my up and coming blogs I will introduce to my family and finished crafts.

Until then, take care

Karen
