prim stitching on..

 

Carol P showing a quilt she had made and tied, using

a bit different colored fabrics than her usual! love it! 

 

love the backing too!

 

Auntie Mary and Carol ( away traveling )

had been on a quilt hop, so she was sharing fabrics and patterns.. 

 

i had to show my score this week... in a free box at a garage sale,

 this quilt top, using what seemed like dish towels and vintage fabrics.

outlined with blanket stitching and a great pair of cream color wool pants..

(forgot to take a picture)

 

 

so that's it with the cobblers for another month!

 

enjoy your day!                jody

A Surprise in the Mail..

Yesterday i had been working in the yard and came in to sit a bit in front of the air.. i checked the mail and found a surprise from my friend Mary. i met Mary about 16 years ago at a craft show we both did while stationed in Rapid city, SD. I think shes been over seas since then..i think, Okinawa, Guam and now Okinawa again. she is a bundle of sweet energy, with very eclectic, eccentrically prim taste. Love all the things she comes up with. anyway thank you sweet Mary! so thoughtful and unexpected!

 

 

Last night i met Jeff/Tonya (saw her engagement ring up close!)

Grand babe #2 had a bible school program. soo fun to watch those little ones!

look who came home with g-ma!

Jeff/Tonya, Angie and a friend are all going to stay with Jas/Jess in Duluth sooo

this mom is on Pet duty! so be prepared for more fur babe pictures... 

 

Enjoy your day! and long weekend!              jody

Monday Morning Hello

This will be a picture heavy post ...it was a great last few days, busy with family and friends. so nothing productive craft wise to show you.. my soap is all over the living room waiting to be packaged.. its a dreary sprinkly day so maybe today i will get to the soap...
the most exciting thing is...... whoo hooo i got this text from Jeffs Tonya!!!
Jeff and Grandbabe #2 asked it she legally wanted to be part of their lil family!!
i asked her what she said and it was a BIG YES!!

Jeff said the date is up to her!! whooo hooo! 

congratulations! Tonyas been a wonderful addition to the family!! 

 

Sister Jana, Carol P and I hit the Garden store in town which was

my family's store. Mom/Dad sold it about 7 years ago. A friend bought it

and also has a floral shop in a nearby town. Mom found a mothers day planter on

her porch from her.. Dawn never misses a beat and has lots of energy!

 

Dawns a curb shopper like me and is a great decorator. 

 

Cindy girlfriend and I went to 2 church sales sat and had a blast..

then her sister Janie called and said there was a white dresser on the curb

down by her house...sooo off we go before even unloading from our sales..

when we got there the gal said we have a house full of stuff  we are putting out on the curb so

if you want to look... sooooo we put out the call for help!

we ended up with 3 truck loads!! Fun!!

 

Mom, Dad and 2 of their 11 Grandsons and 1 of their 3 great grands....

Daughter Angie is the only Girl so far!

 

Enjoy your day!          Jody
