Welcome Adrianna

Welcome Adrianna Harper!

Here's to my newest great grand child.  Born November 13, 2017.

Most of my pictures that come from my Granddaughter of her children come from snap chat - so you get the captions too.  Here is one of Adrianna's older brothers - Ben, he's 2 1/2.

Here is her oldest brother, Carter.  

He's been there for another baby (Ben) so the new one is not as big of a deal for him - hence the now new pictures of him and new Sister.  LOL

Look at these long fingers - future piano player possibly? 

 And now that that she is born and I know for sure they didn't change her name.  Here is her quilt - With Label.  

Have a Blessed day!

Little Gifts

With the kids coming to visit, I was able to show them some stuff I had been doing.  And it was so cute when my daughter found a little wall hanging and asked if she could have.  

I'm having trouble finding a close up of it finished but here is what I have. 

The one she got was actually the one on the right but don't have a close up picture of it finished.

It also opened the door for them to make requests.  I love it!  This daughter, and her two children haven't gotten quilts from me yet - they're not sure what they want, so I've waited.  
So when my daughter wanted a wallet - like mine - but slightly different - of course I'm going to go to work figuring it out.  
I have a small wallet that folds and she wants it to bee like that but able to put paper money in flat. 
She said my granddaughter Jorden could pick out the colors, so her and I had fun going through my fabric to match combos of two.  You really get to see how different peoples tastes can be - and that's fine. 
Then during the process - my husband thought he would like one too.  

 

And it even has a little coin pouch on outside.
Although I like most of what my grand daughter chose, this would be a color choice of mine. 

Here is the one for that I made for my hubby - 

He loves it - He only takes what he needs for that day in it and says it's not as bulky and thick.  

Glad to have talents that can make my family happy. 

Blessings,

Surprise

I've told the story so many times, but it's so worth it.  My husband - And Children - surprised me to tears.  
Here's the scene, we were going to Las Vegas on November 1st to pick up our long time friends that were coming in.  Me, Miss "Plan-alot-amus" wants all the detail. Are we staying are we coming home, how long will they be here, are they coming here or just staying in Vegas?  Why are we picking them up from the airport at night instead of going the next day when we can spend more time with them?  Are we really driving home through the desert in the dark?(which my husband usually doesn't like to do) 
The lies he had to tell.  All the made up stories of what this was and that was.  Did he really pull it off?Well a picture is worth a thousand words.  

Love them so much!

And yes we came home.  Here is our late night munchie stop.  

They have been here before, but it's been close to 10 years, when we were all here on vacation. They haven't been here since we moved here 3 years ago.  So the grand kids don't really remember much here at all.  The time was short - it always is, but we did get a lot done. 

 We took them to the lake

And we took them to Oatman.

And then we had to take them to Hoover Dam because of course they wanted to take that "DAM TOUR"

We rounded their visit off by spending the night before their flight out in Vegas and took them to Freemont Street "Experience" - and yes as always - it was an Experience. 

It was a wonderful visit and of course I miss them so so much but so happy they came. 

Love you Kids...

Blessings,

Lynn

New Month - New starts

The older I get the more I don't like how fast time flies by. However trying to look at the bright side of things, a new month can be a reset to get you re-focused too.  My sewing friends and I have been talking a lot about "Shiny things" lately.  You know,  you're working on one thing and you see 15 other things you want to do.  Next thing you know that original project becomes an UFO (unfinished object) or a PIG (projects in grocery bags).   
Anyway - last month started out really good.  I got 2 lap and twin size quilts, 1 large wall hanging, 1 small wall hanging, 1 table topper - Quilted.  I was on a roll.  

However - I still need to do the hand stitching of the binding on the two baby quilts.  Adrianna's and Beehive Baby.  I've had a real lack of hand stitching lately.   So my Bag Ladies and bindings and a couple of other things I'm trying to do are being neglected.

I also have had a handful of doctor visits and a few day trips here and there with hubby and friends.  Remember my two friends from the Williams trip in September? I caught them on Camera.  

Cheryl and I took a day trip to Vegas and Picked up Patty on the way (Sorta) and we went to the 

"Ethel M Chocolate Factory".  They make candy for Mars. I had never heard of them so they had to take me there.  It was quite fun.  And we had an Employee that was off duty that was nice enough to give us all kinds of info on how they do things.  That made it even better. 

Then in middle of the month I went to a retreat - and I did more talking than sewing.  But I did manage to get a wall hanging  top done, and a couple of rows on a scrap quilt. :)

I didn't get a picture and it is put away for a bit so I'll have to post a picture of it later.  :) 
And the following weekend we had two sew days in a row. The first day was for charity, which was Christmas stockings for the Angel Tree at the local hospital.  I completed 8.  

The next day was open sew and we could work on what we wanted and then had a potluck.  I worked more on the scrap quilt. (Pictured above) 
I got some stuff done - just not what I thought I would be working on. 
Oh and in between, I worked on an idea for our last workshop of the year...  and this will be my last teaching workshop as Vice President and Project Coordinator for the SNR Guild.  In December we will have our last meeting and then Christmas party.  2 Years done. Here's what I'm going to teach. 

So- What do I think I want to do for November.  
My November Goals:   Gifts - That's it!  I'm making some little things for the kids and grand kids. After those are done I can work on stuff for friends.  If not they may be having Christmas in February.  LOL.
Got to get busy with other stuff.  
Have a Blessed Day!
