She does not want to take it off – … [View Details]

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]

Flower Gardening pleasures and toils

I really enjoy my flower garden although I haven’t had as much time to spend on it as in the past. Helping to take care of three grandchildren is very time consuming, well worth the effort though!:) But I thought I would share some photos of my yard this summer. I wouldn’t want to post … [View Details]

A good friend of ours is getting married soon and I spent this afternoon making her a special pillow. My machine gave me fits – I guess it didn’t like the metallic threads. Finally finished it and I think it turned out well. I bought the pillow at www.allaboutblanks.com and the doves/ring design is from … [View Details]

Sewing with grandkids

Today I went to JoAnn’s to get my curved tipped scissors sharpened. I keep buying new ones as soon as the old ones get dull and it’s a lot cheaper to get them sharpened. I took Eliana (almost 2) with me and she loved what she saw at JoAnn’s. She kept running up to different … [View Details]
