Family Day!

Great Family Day at TC this month, Chelsea one an award for Servanthood, She is the first person to step in and help when someone cannot go on the work crews, they said she is a hard worker and loves constantly being busy and helping others. She has been going to jails and other places with TC and giving her testimony of how she once lived her life. It is amazing to see these girls and the changes they have made. We had a great time. AMEN!!

My Idea of a good time!!

I really enjoy my weekends!!

slow progress

Slow progress on my summer shawl. Something for myself! I work on it only on the weekends, by the pool seems to be my only time. I love the yarn so soft it will look wonderful when finished and blocked. It is discontinued and thinking I need another skein, may have to search ebay. Thinking of adding beads to the ends.

I continue to search for the perfect motif for my tablecloth. Hmmmm trying different yarns and hook sizes still not completely satisfied! Well stay tuned, my creative juices continue to flow...........

Chillin

Had a wonderful weekend! Just chillin!

Precious Grandchild

He is so adorable! I cannot wait till they are home and I can play with him!

Loving this weather!

I am loving this weather, I walked with the dog to the park today to watch the kite boarders! It is amazing to watch. I did not get too close because dogs are not allowed in. The bird tried to come on my front porch! Click on the photo to get a good look!!

Happy Easter!!!

My beautiful Easter basket from my husband and some fabrics I got in the mail from Fat quarter shop.

Quilting progress

My main objective was to finish the comfort quilt I started for a friend this friday, I waited and planned for that day for so long. But much to my avail, I needed to food shop, play with my dog, lay by the pool, etc. So I got only about two hours yesterday to sew. Here is my progress. The purple quilt is one I started for my daughter, the colors are so yummy! I know she will love it. I am not "In love" with the yellow quilt and I think that has to do with my slow progress. I love all the colors but not thrilled with how it is coming along. I think maybe with borders and completion I may like it more. The pattern is from "Manhattan Craft Room" It tells you "not to be exact" Let your lines be wonky, dont sew exactly so everything looks off, this is a fun way to quilt but you have to get used to it. Well off to work! Goodyear awaits me!

New Family Member

This week I welcomed a new family member his name is Kody and he so very sweet. I was fortunate enought to get him from a woman who is moving to Russia to teach English. He is a POMAPOO/ part pomeranian part poodle!? Feeling more human these days and able to work on a quilt long past due for a very dear friend who is ill. Being more at peace with Chelsea and her future has let me feel more like my old self again and I have been able to resume some projects that I had started.

AMEN!

Can you say amen! What amazing changes are taking place here! For those of you who saw Chelsea before, know what she looked like. Her transformation is taking place from within and it shows through. AMEN
