Beautiful Smile.

May 2008 colorful braces went on and Jan 2011 they're off. Of course, before they went on some other device was in the mouth for a long time. You know the drill.

1st Project of 2011

First project of 2011.

GS had a redo on his bedroom. Started out with hunting theme, then had fishing/bear theme. Now 2011 he has a WVU room, sporting yellow walls with blue accents. I had some yellow sweatshirt fabric so made him a really super soft pillowcase with navy blue cotton cuff. Oh and I had to drive myself crazy doing french seams

GS and his daddy are huge WVU fans. Check out some of their WVU handiwork.

A Beautiful, Perfect Day

A perfect day for a sweet baby's baptism ....... she was truly beautiful.

CIMG0776

Her dress was made 18 years ago when her first cousin was born and baptised. I made the dress from several patterns, did the smocking with beading, ordered the laces. ribbons and fabric from Texas. And made the hat from scratch and did the cross-stitch too.

It's not everyday that your paternal grandfather, an Ordained Catholic Deacon, performs your baptism.

My entry for the Amy's Blogger Quilt Festival.

I made this quilt to celebrate GD#3 arrival. She is a miracle baby for DD#2 and SIL.

CIMG0474

The quilt is based loosely on the Yellow Brick Road pattern. I say loosely because I found YBR difficult so I sort of did my own thing .... I think it turned out great.

CIMG0479

DD#2 is a not a quilter or sewist but she definitely has the color/pattern eye. So off we went to 4 quilt shops in her area and Joann's too. She wanted lots of pattern with a touch of black and hot pink. Oh we found so many wonderful fabrics.

CIMG8800 CIMG8801

I used chenille from Joann's .... oh my gosh that stuff is so soft and cuddly ... it was perfect.

CIMG0102

As you can see I used a heart, teacup and teapot theme for the quilting. That was DD#2 theme for her baby shower and the room is decorated with touches of teacups and teapots.
