One of my New Year's Resolutions

           I am determined to get my wall quilt finished!  Only have 9 more ( of 35) blocks to go....

Anna's Album Finished!

Just got her out of the dryer... so nice to have her finished!

The back ...

Natalia, quilted feathers all over for me, as usual, she did fabulous work!  www.piecenquilt.com
I used all Valorie Wells fabrics except a couple of Tina Givens for the most part.

Hubby's Christmas Present

My hubby and I went down to New Mexico to see our very good friends who use to live across the street from us before they moved to New Mexico... my hubby took this picture while we were down there a year ago visiting... for his present, I had it blown up and framed.  He loved it!

Merry Merry Christmas to all :)

I love getting pictures of the grandbabies with Santa Clause - makes my whole year :)
Kaylee is the perfect age to believe in Santa.  Her little sister, Melanie, Not so Happy!  The second picture is of Kaylee when she was 4 months old.  She was scared of Santa in the in between years.  Kaylee told Santa she wants a Mermaid Dress and a Tiger... don't know where that came from :)  Can't wait to hear if Santa brings them to her!  The little one just wants whatever Kaylee or Cole has at the moment...

Look at Cole, 2 years old and will sit by Santa!  We might get lucky and get a picture each year with him and Santa:)  I love this Santa's belt buckle - says it all :)  Cole wants anything Thomas the Train and Mickey Mouse...  I know for sure he will get both from Gramma and Papa!

Here is Cole at 1 year old... love this pic - he looks like a little farm boy :)  

Guess what I get to do on and off today?

Only one Grandbaby today so I might get to do a little of this in between a nap and lunch?  Maybe?

Kids having fun

Kaylee and Cole created a game called "Make a tower from the Christmas Presents"!

Cole was so proud how high they built it.  Of course, none of the presents have any bows anymore :(

Can't believe how Cole has grown this summer... not a baby at all anymore!

Love his blue eyes ;)

More Tea Towels...

These are so fun to make, love how all of them turned out :)  Am learning how to do corners pretty good now!

Snowman Figurine

Went and spent a fun filled Saturday with my daughter, Stephenie, and of course, did some shopping...  Came home with this adorable snowman figurine!   I pretty much love anything with glitter :)  In the background the beautiful little girl with Santa is Kaylee our oldest grandbaby who is now 4 1/2 yrs old.  How the time flies.  The other picture is one of me, her Momma (Sara) and her MIL (Caryn).

Christmas thru a child's eyes

When I was taking Cole's picture ... I told him to say "Santa" - instead he said "Don't Touch"!

Ooops....

Our Christmas Elf!

                                                     Our Little Christmas Elf :)
Love the imagination and creativity of a child's mine.  Today Kaylee made herself a pair of shoes out of computer paper and they ended up being elf shoes!

Santa Tea Towel

                                             Made this cute Santa tea towel for Sara :)

I used buttons for his eyes, and a bead for his nose :)

Our tree is up!

                             We put the tree up in our loft to keep Bella from getting into it :)

Still have more ornaments to put on it, put I am finished for tonight.  Will let Kaylee help me finish tomorrow :)

Lighting of the Christmas Tree in Auburn

It was a bit chilly waiting for the lighting of the Christmas tree...

Kaylee's cheeks show it!

Here is big sister, Kaylee trying to hold up little sister, Melanie...

Finally they lit the tree!

The tree from a distance ... it is so pretty!

Another Christmas Tea Towel

                                                                         How cute is Rudolf ?

Totally Squeezable :)
