A Lesson on a Valentine's Kitty Bow

My daughter gave me cute "Little Kitty" patches and said "Mom you can think of something to do with them."  My girl knows me well.  Below are the steps it took to make a trendy headband for my granddaughter.
I only had to purchase the headband.  A local store sells two for $1; and they are soft!  Ribbon and thread I had in my sewing room.   Cheap to make but a priceless gift made with Nana's love!

Thank you Susan! It's fun! I also made a little purse for my other granddaughter but didn't photo each step.

Playful Architects

My grandboys spent  the night with us during a couple days off of school.  We had a fantastic time with them, we played games, we ate good and junk food (grandparent perks)  and they had a visit from their cousin. The cousins began their play by re-creating the dining and front room into a tent city.  I was given a VIP pass to take pictures of their planning. It is a happy talent to know how to play.

A Grandmother's Comfort Never Ends...

Sitting on the couch at my aunt's home she noticed I was holding a pillow on my lap.    I don't know why I hold a pillow perhaps it's a comfort thing.  It is not necessary that I hold a pillow on my lap when I sit on a couch but if there are "throw pillows"  I naturally pick one to hold.   My aunt said that the pillow I was holding was embroidered by my grandmother!  Isn't it lovely!   Like many grandmothers of her time, they enjoyed making beautiful handiwork like embroidery, crochet, knitting and sewing. I took after my grandmother in many ways; I too enjoy creating beautiful artwork through knitting, embroidery, and sewing.   One day I will be gone and hopefully my grandchildren too will be comforted by the handiwork I left behind...for them...

Easter Day and Silly Wabbits

Image
Easter Day at my home was filled with lots of family, children, and fun.   Staying with tradition,  the night before Papa and I boiled the eggs, colored and created these little "dudes and dudettes"  for the "hunt."   As you can see from the looks of them... these egg-lettes  are ready to hide. Our party was going well until I discovered all my carrots had disappeared...I suspect one of these "Silly Wabbits" might have eaten them...?
