God is good – always

One of our grandsons has been diagnosed with Asperger’s. We always knew that he was “different” – very bright, very emotional, prone to temper tantrums, sensory issues, etc. – but it’s only in recent months that we have learned of his actual diagnosis. While it didn’t change his behaviors, it gave us all a better … [View Details]

If you are into sewing for babies and children, you might enjoy this site, too: http://www.ethelbird.com/home.php?cat=285 I had been looking for hours for one particular flannel print and I … [View Details]
Happy Advent to all
(4)
When I grew up in Germany, Advent (the 4 weeks before Christmas) was a very special time of preparing for the upcoming Holiday. We spent it baking cookies, making presents for each other, caroling at nursing homes and trying to help those less fortunate. Every Sunday night we would get together as family and listen … [View Details]

I am hoping that for most of you, if not all, the New Year is off to a good start. Life has been very busy here at Oma’s Place, with many new designs in the making. Since I do most of my own testing, it will take me a while to get them all up … [View Details]

Home Schooling
(1)
I recently started home schooling one of our granddaughters and it has been a wonderful experience. We are using the public school curriculum K12 and while some would not consider that home schooling, I still do. There are so many opportunities for conversation and input of our own personal views. I would not want to … [View Details]

It seems I have been working on Effie’s wallhaging for a loooooooong time and it feels so good to have it hanging in his room. He rewarded me with a hug and his beautiful smile. Makes it worth it all. For sure I could have done more with this wallhanging in terms of actually quilting … [View Details]
