In a Few Hours it will be March

In a few hours it will be March.

So I better hurry up so February will have a blog.

Dave and I had our wonderful trip to Tennessee to see Jamie and Anita

and the girls. Brooklyn's birthday was special and what a joy to be there for her baptism.

She loved the little doll I made for her..... but then.....

Abby really fell in love with her. She slept with her every night we were there. She even made her a little bed.

What was sweet was Brooklyn was OK with that.

You never know....

When we got home, we had a few days before Robin and her kids flew in for a ten day visit.

Robin blogged about our adventures, so you can check that out at www.ladleoflove.blogspot.com Be sure to see all 5 posts. We had lots of fun.

Parker and I did find time to do a few crafty projects.

With some fabric scraps we made this little doll quilt.

She wanted to embroider so bad and kept begging....so I asked her what did she want to embroider. "An Easter Bunny" she said. So I let her draw one on some muslin, then put it in a hoop and showed her how to do a few stitches. She was tired of that after about 5 stitches and asked me if I would do it for her. So after I finished, I made it up into a little quilt for her. She was excited to show her teacher when she got back home.

We had an especially lovely day at Carmel Beach . Here is a picture of Robin, Parker, Macy and Oliver.

Later at Moss Landing I took this picture of Parker and my shadow. Great day.

My project going now is for Macy and her 3 year old , big girl, quilt.

I have two weeks to get it done.
I am also working on another quilt. This one is for our new grandson soon to be arriving. I'll post some pictures soon on my progress on these two very important quilts.

I'd better get busy!
