Bunny, Chick and Tulips

Just some Spring things that make me happy. Spring is definitely my favorite time of the year and I am so ready for it to come my way. We are still getting snow.

Carrots and Eggs

Sounds like a strange lunch, but I made these cute table toppers. Just need to finish binding...but I couldn't wait to post.

Waiting for Avia

I love sheep! I have a small collection and allow my grand-daughter to play with them. She is very gentle and enjoys rearranging them. The first pic shows the 'Lamies" waiting for her to arrive. A day or so after she visited, this is what I found. She is just the epitome of cuteness!
I made 25 of these little journals for the young women in our stake who are graduating from high school. I included a pen with each gift. I glued a thought about writing down important things on the inside of the journal.
“Memory, according to the experts, often conditions our moods. Those who remember only the disappointing experiences of life tend to become bitter and cynical. Those who recall only their enemies and the forces lined up against them may lose their courage. Those who recall only past injuries may continue to battle with the world. But those who recall the positive and encouraging times, remain bright and optimistic. Do we not read that records kept by the ancients enlarged the memory of the people? Of course, it is true. Records do preserve language, safeguard truth, and inspire future readers, if they are kept properly. What a pity it would be if your children and grandchildren were denied that part of you that really should be recorded. Make certain that you are passing on to your posterity, along with other graces of life, your innermost thoughts, your deep feelings, and your sincere testimonies. You owe the rising generation this blessing and more. I testify of the importance of memory. It does mold our moods. It is associated with testimony. It should include models of righteousness. Of a certainty, it is the product of thoughts. And, in the end, it is you.” Carlos E. Asay

More Vintage finds

Vintage platter and the cutest chickens I have seen in a long time. Think I will make a pattern from the original and make more!

Vintage finds

My mother is priceless! I was helping unpack item into my parents new addition and we came upon these lovelies. The table cloth was hand appliqued by my great-aunt Nellie.

Journal

Look at this cute journal my friend gave me. I love the Anne Frank quote!

Just around the corner

Spring

I'm so in the mood for Spring! I appliqued this quilt on the way to Sacramento two years ago. The chicks I saw in a Goose Berry Patch book and decided they would be cute appliqued.

New Bookshelves

This is a pic of the new bookshelf we are installing in the library. Kent and I worked on it Saturday and will finish on Monday. Bottom pic I took on Ikea showroom floor. The top pic is the partly finished product in our library.

Gramma Fun!

Is he not the cutest thing you ever did see? We were so blessed to tend our grandson from Monday evening to Friday morning. Yes he is this happy most all of the time. Doesn't he look like the Gerber Baby? He was most happy if Papa was holding him.

Be Mine

My friend and I made these cute Valentine decorations. She cut the letters with a Cricut then we embellished them.
