ZOE LEARNING TO SEW AT AGE 10

I'm so proud of Zoe, she made this crib quilt for her sister while here visiting me.  I had
to get instructions from her Aunt Heidi, I do not quilt.  She did a good job for her first
effort.  She leaves tomorrow.  I will sure miss her.


She could thread the machine and trouble shoot too.  The bobbin was a little problem and she learned how to fix it.  The whole thing came out twice.  She did great.

MY GIFTS FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Mandie, Manny, Zoe and Abby sent me tulips for Mother's Day.  Today Bill brought me flowers and
a really nice card.  Very sentimental. 
Then in comes Eric with a giant card and a tin of cookies.  This card is about 24 x 18. 
Kristy and I talked about an hour today also.


Thanks to each of you

HAPPY EASTER

We had our Easter Dinner today since Bill is working a double tomorrow. Heidi always tells me about 
the great things she finds at Aldi.  I stopped in today and found these foil wrapped eggs, bunnies and the 
large bunny from Germany.  The marshmallow eggs were given to me by the friend I made the pink scarf
for.  The bags are "Easter Baskets" I gave my guest today.  George and I didn't get one.  LOL
The plate of cookies were from my cousin, Louise, when she came for dinner.  We had a nice day.
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter

A GIFT FOR ME AND ONE FOR A FRIEND

I received these beautiful flowers from Mandie, Manny, Zoe and Abby for my birthday.  They have come out so pretty.  I have them sitting right beside my chair.  Thank you again for thinking of me in such a nice way.
Almost four years ago I had surgery for Breast Cancer.  I met another woman who was having her surgery also with the same surgeon.  She was so scared and shook up that I befriended her while sitting in a wheel chair waiting to get a marker inserted for our surgery.  I made her a winter scarf a couple a years ago, and now decided to make this one for her.  Hope she likes it.  So far, we are both cancer free.

MORE PROJECTS

I started stitching this Indian with her Wolf.  I am not going to make her an Angel.  I have put it aside right now however.  I made this baby afghan for my Daugher in Law to give as a gift.  She says the theme is Lady Bug.  
Now, I bought yarn to knit three sweaters.  I have the one for Heidi going now.  I have the back and one front finished and about half way through the right front now.  It is fisherman knit.  Hope it fits.  She already saw the yarn.  I work on it as we talk on Skype everyday.  
Hope any projects you have going are moving along well.

TWO KNITTED BIRTHDAY GIFTS

The brown fisherman knit sweater was for Manny's birthday.  Mandie said it fit and she took his picture in it, but I didn't get it yet.
The vest I made for Heidi's birthday.  It is a knitted up the back down the front pattern.  It was too plain, so I added crocheted edges.    She says she has worn it, so guess it was okay too.  Now,
I have a cross stitch in the making and planning three more sweaters and a baby afghan I just got a request to make.  Guess I will be busy.  
Yesterday I got back from Florida and now it is 17 and snowing like mad.  A little change. LOL

TWO FINISHED GIFTS

My Granddaughter, Mandie is having a birthday tomorrow.  She said it is cold in her office at work and she wanted an shawl.  She already got it in the mail so I can post it and say Happy Birthday.


We have for many years had a waitress where we go every Friday for breakfast. She loves owls, so I usually buy her owls where I travel. She even has a lace one from Belguim.

This past Thursday, she had major surgery.  She will be off work for many weeks.  I thought she needed something to keep her warm through her recovery. I thought an afghan would be good.  I will give it to her boss this week to give to her when she is home and up to seeing him.  They are friends also.
