			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have read through my past entries, you know that one of our grandsons has Asperger&#8217;s, a form of autism.  It&#8217;s been a couple of rough months with him.  Maybe it has something to do with his rapid growth, maybe his being off during the summer months has lead to boredom, maybe&#8230;.  It&#8217;s been especially difficult for his parents.  His Mom, our daughter Kristy, wrote the following on her blog lately:</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been having a difficult few months with my son, and it all came to a head yesterday, when truths about my son&#8217;s behavior were brought to my attention. It was one of those earth shattering moments, where your perception of reality is turned upside down and you have to face a new, more unpleasant one.. Well, I went for a run, to work on my anger and frustration, and ended up sitting in a field at the end of the street where I had this conversation with God&#8230;</p>
<div>Lord- Why????</div>
<div><strong><em>Why not??</em></strong></div>
<div>Because I love my son!</div>
<div><em><strong>I love him too.</strong></em></div>
<div>Because it hurts!</div>
<div><em><strong>I hurt for you..</strong></em></div>
<div>It&#8217;s not fair!!</div>
<div><em><strong>Life isn&#8217;t fair.</strong></em></div>
<div>Lord.. why does my son suffer for the bad choices I made??</div>
<div><em><strong>Why did MY son have to suffer for them too?</strong></em></div>
<div>Will it ever get better??</div>
<div><em><strong>&#8220;I will give them a crown to replace their ashes, and clothes of praise to replace their spirit of sadness&#8221; (Is. 61:3b)&#8221;</strong></em></div>
<div></div>
<div><em><strong>Are you interested in autism and have similar struggles as a parent?  Why not follow Kristy on her blog:</strong></em></div>
<div><em><strong>www.lifewithanaspie.blogspot.com</strong></em></div>
<div><em><strong>May God bless you this day.<strong><em><br />
</em></strong></strong></em></div>
<div><em><strong><br />

	</p><p>These little CowBoy Cuties are very detailed and digitized from exclusive art by Denise Pederson of sugarbeargraphics.com<br />
Intended for use with quilts, they can of course also be used for wallart and totes.  These designs are large (they  fill the 5&#215;7 hoop) and are part applique/part fill stitch.  Vary the look by using different fabrics for the little cowboy’s pants and shirt.  Center panel as shown in the quilt picture is not part of this set.   It can be purchased separately and is available only for extra large hoops (7”x7”).  Because of their detail and multiple appliques, these designs have a higher number of color changes than most of my other designs.  But in the end you will find they are well worth the effort.  They have certainly brought a BIG smile to my grandson’s face.</p>
<p>Artist: Exclusive art by <a href="http://www.sugarbeargraphics.com">sugarbeargraphics.com</a></p>

	Jailer Cowboy			4.91&#215;6.00”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems I have been working on Effie&#8217;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 it, but I just don&#8217;t have the patience nor the time to do that right now.  I think he will still get enjoyment out of it the way it is.</p>
<p>Now to &#8220;iron out&#8221; some minor things in the files and then they should go up for sale, hopefully, within a week or so.  So, be on the lookout.    The designs should be available for sale soon.  I hope you will like them as much as I do.</p>
<p>On to sewing a dress for Rileigh for school start and digitizing more fall designs.  <a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07662.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3742" title="DSC07662" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07662-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been following my progress on Effie&#8217;s wallhanging, you may have been wondering what happened to me.  I have been working on it, but progress has been slow.  I finally finished digitizing all of the cowboys and then redid the color scheme of the wallhanging and I have to say I like it a lot.  Those cowboys are stitch intensive &#8211; not high stitch count, just require quite a bit of color changes, but it&#8217;s well worth it, don&#8217;t you think?  I just love this smiley little fellow.  This is exclusive art from www.sugarbeargraphics and I think Denise Pederson did a great job on it.  I absolutely love her art.  Our little grandson, Effie, has that same kind of happy smile.</p>
<p>I am posting more photos of the work in progress.  I hope to be adding a label today and hopefully finish the quilt within a day or two.  <a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07655.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3719" title="DSC07655" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07655-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07657.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3721" title="DSC07657" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07657-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07660.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3722" title="DSC07660" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07660-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07661.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3724" title="DSC07661" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07661-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07658.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3727" title="DSC07658" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07658-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07656.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3720" title="DSC07656" src="http://www.omasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC07656-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

	</p><p>This rugged little cowboy bag is great for bike rides or daycare trips. It easily holds snacks, money, keys, and even a cell phone. It is a project for the 5&#215;7 hoops and requires only one hooping. The strap can be constructed before start of the embroidery and added during the embroidery process or just use grosgrain ribbon. All seams are either hidden or finished. It does not come with a name or alphabet but you are receiving two versions of the design: One with a plain front and one with the sheriff badge design on it. </p>
