Been a long time but still here....

Day 157

Yea things have been crazy around here just getting back to the love of friends and family. We haven't been resting on our laurels though we have kept plenty busy.....lots of sewing going on in the background prepping for a few shows and lots of jobs coming up. I will share more tomorrow...

.....my mom sent me out another box of goodies, these beautiful rubbings from Thailand(?) she found in my Grandmother's things....

....aren't they wonderful? I am trying to figure out where they will go because I have to hang them up....

...these dishes that belonged to my Grandmother came in the box as well...fancy and old and I love them....except for a few we use all of our dishes regularly since every day is a special occasion or at least one to be celebrated!!

....the last beautiful things in the box were these pieces of an old quilt with some different types of Sunbonnet Sues than I have seen, applique combined with embroidery....

....to me they look like pieces of feedsack prints too....LOVE IT!

....how Easter ended....that is my table I painted, it looks pretty in this picture against the eggs and jelly bean colors I think...

....egg dyeing process, always best to do outside when you have more than a few kids involved...

....our second fancy dance complete with lots of girls getting done up together and arriving together...

...I tell ya these girls make me cry they are so beautiful inside and out....that is my G2 on the far left in the long purple dress...sniff hard to believe I will have a teenager in a matter of months...sob...happy thoughts for the future...

my 2 beautiful G girls together at Easter...I love them so...

....the whole Easter crew before hiding and seeking 189 plastic eggs now THAT was fun!...

...the end of the day snuggling with the stuffed Easter bunny....I hope your days were beautiful and bright.


What are you creating this week?

  1. We have some rubbings that came from my hubby's grandmother that are almost identical to the ones your mom sent you! I will ask him later if he knows where they're from. I know she bought them when she lived abroad, but I'm not sure where.

    Love the Sue quilt. Lovely!
