Christmas Eve

I made us all kids matching Christmas pajamas. I bought a dog, a Beagle, the Saturday before and made him something to match us all too!



I made all the pants and then Mom embroidered on the sweatshirts that we bought.

The Quilt is Done!!!!

I finally finished the quilt! It took a week, staying up till almost 4 in the morning, to finish the top and then just about 6 months to hand quilt it. It turned out beautiful but I'll NEVER do this again!!! But I'm happy to be able to tell people that I have done a Double Wedding ring quilt!

Me with it finally done!



Where all the corners meet

Laid out on the bed

The Italian Elbow

An Italian grandmother is giving directions to her
grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife.

"You comma to de front door of the apartmenta. I
am inna apartmenta 301 .
There issa bigga panel at the front door. With
you elbow, pusha button 301.
I will buzza you in. Come inside, the elevator
is on the right. Get in, and with you elbow, pusha 3.
When you get out, I'mma on the left. With
you elbow, hit my doorbell."

"Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting
all these buttons with my elbow?

"What . . . . . .. .. You coming empty handed?"

Happy Birthday Mom!
