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.

Even your little doll quilts are beautiful! How fun for Parker to get to make those memories with you.
yes, you better get busy. i can't wait to see macy's quilt!
that is a funny picture of parker holding her easter bunny quilt . . .
she loved showing off her stuff to her class. she showed everyone the quilts, some pictures and the yo-yos she made. her teacher sent home a note that day telling me how excited she was to show everything off and that it took a long time because she showed every person everything! her note also said that after a while, parker said, "i'm tired of showing everyone" and a kid in her class replied, "good, i'm tired of seeing it."
funny.
grammy quilting time--how cute. you and dave are busy little grandparents i love it. so excited for scott & kiana too. see you lots real soon.
you know what i found the other day? the burp cloth i made at enrichment one night when you were teaching embroidery! i laughed when i saw it because, since then, i've really gotten into embroidering and i'm so much better now than i used to be, but it was good to be reminded of my humble beginnings and of your patience at teaching novices :) good times!
