Happy Dance!!!

This is a wedding banner I designed for my brother. The first pic shows the whole thing including the fringe. The second is a close-up, the third shows the beading on the top conch.

My brother is big into Native American things. I used a border from a pattern I got online. The bear is from a book of Native American charts.

A Great Cause!!!! A Quilt For Sue!!!

Click the photo to go to Lizzie's blog post. She is collecting orphan quilt blocks to make into a quilt for a friend who is treminally ill. Sue was a quilter before her illness made it impossible to continue. Let's all help Lizzie show her friend how much quilters love each other.

Wild Ride!!!

This past month has been really hectic. Youngest son is still off work and has now lost his job due to this accident. Lost his housing as well. Lawyers working on the problems but nothing good yet. I did have a really great surprise though. I won a giveaway on Ornaments. Orna Willis the designer made a needle case and I won it. It is made of Suede and has a piece of original Orna Willis canvas work on the front.

A Birthday Give Away!!!

CRAZY WEEK!!!!

This week has been one of ups and downs. Started with my fibromyalgia on the rampage. Then on Tuesday my youngest called and he was rear ended in his Pickup. Doc said off until Monday let the muscles heal. Back in the ER on Thursday because of severe headaches and found out he has a grade 2 concussion. Now he is off work for about 3-6 weeks depending upon how he heals. Truck is totaled as the car went underneath and did the suspension in. He finally has a great job and is happy and this happens. Only thing to do is pray and know that God will do his will.

MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL

YAHOOOOOO!!!!!

I have reached 51 followers. I need to have a give away. I don't have anything in mind at the moment but will think on it this weekend and post the give away next week. Thank you to all of my followers. I know I don't post very often but life with a 18 month old is crazy at times. He is my grandson.

A friend of mine whom I do computer work for, online, had a stroke on Thursday evening. He is only 65. I have been a bit addled since. I would go to CA if I could but with only 1 car and the kids need to get to college, it just isn't possible. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Until later, Keep stitching, Keep smiling and always remember to ENJOY!!!

Just Nan RR- This is what it looked like when I got it.

This is what I put in.

This is what it looks like now.
