Remembering some of the Good Times with RJ

He was such a character, full of fun and joy....from little guy with his sister Mattie, to only doggie in the household....We were Blessed to have such a great dog..

RJ

We lost our buddy in January...He was just 7 years old..

RJ gave us such joy and love and we will miss him!

He was a real Blessing to our family...

and such a good boy.

Childhood memory

I don't have much from when I was a child, but somehow I did end up with my musical Santa....I remember him from years past, I LOVED taking him to bed at Christmas time and winding his music and just laying there listening....he was pretty and bright back then, with a burlap sack lined with green shining paper that hung over his shoulder and a very white beard.  Now he is very worn and is still much loved by this "Older" little girl!  I am so Blessed to have this small part of my childhood to remember.

Zig Ziglar

One of Mike's favorite "mentors" has been Zig Ziglar, mostly from his tapes that Mike has listened to over and over and once or twice from a Seminar....but none-the-less, he has encouraged my husband over the years....It touched my heart when Mike told me that he had died today....Mike felt sad, but I know he will continue to listen to his tapes and continue to be encouraged by this man and his amazing life! Thanks, Zig......for being a man of integrity and passing it on to so many.

WELCOME, SILAS NICHOLAS

The "Grandma Quilts" Vintage/Modern

This Baby shower for Betsy was given by her sisters, this is the Shower that Betsy got her "Grandma Quilts"

Karen, Betsy's Mom, is well known for her amazing Double Wedding Ring quilts and this one did not disappoint!

It is yellow and hand quilted.

The Nursery colors are yellow and grey and Betsy loving vintage and modern (just ask Katie) I went to work on a more modern quilt for my next grandson's Mommy.

With Betsy's help we came up with this stunning grey and cream chevron quilt which is machine quilted.

So here we are, two very excited Grandmas one very very excited Mommy and a Vintage like quilt and a modern quilt...and they look amazing hanging on the crib together....

Birthday Blessings and Fabric! SCORE

 Above is a picture of 60 Fat Quarters, to celebrate my 60th...this was a treat and an amazing gift.

from my friend LouAnne, what a "tower" of fun....and she made that adorable "60" to wrap it all with...

I can't wait to dig into these, but I am going to hate tearing down that tower of fabric...

                                         My long-time friend, Sue, gifted me wool and beads with some pearl cotton... 

I do think I shall look into a wool Christmas project.  I LOVE LOVE wool and pretty seed beads.

                                       

Here is all the Birthday Fabric, I know, you may be thinking, Oh MY Goodness...

the Blessings of Fabric make this Birthday girl really happy...

thank you girlfriends...xo
