Look what I have made for Eliana Comments (1)

I have been busy sewing for the grandkids and digitizing for the new website.  I just love the way Eliana’s Easter dress turned out and she can’t wait to wear it.  She is always begging to wear it.  Makes a Grandma’s heart happy!   The little pockets on the bag and the dress are functional … [View Details]

Luke is Rileigh’s brother and his birthday is ONE day after Rileigh’s.  So, I made him a wallhanging, too.  His Dad is a pilot and Luke’s room is decorated in an aviator theme.  I hope he will like his birthday present.

Meet our new family member! Comments (1)

Just wanted to share with you our joy over our new grandbaby.   Effie Gabrian Brock was born this morning by scheduled C-section and weighed in at 10 lbs 2 oz.  The nurses kiddingly talk about the “toddler” on their unit!   It was a difficult pregnancy and we are all so happy he made it … [View Details]

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all Comments (4)

Number 2 Cowboy is almost done Comments (0)

I have to say that these little buckaroos are keeping my brain active.  These are not “simple” applique, as far as the digitizing is concerned.  It’s like putting together a big puzzle trying to figure out what piece goes before what other piece.  But I do like the way this one stitched up, too.  I … [View Details]

Oma’s Reflections on grandchildren, autism and embroidery Comments (0)

It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog entry.  Life has been so very hectic, as many of you can relate to, I am sure.  It has been weighing heavily on my heart lately that so many of the children today will not know the 10 commandments and I have felt a sense … [View Details]
