It feels like it has been forever...

Since I've posted.

We had a great July 4Th weekend and I haven't stopped since I've gotten home. It was so HOT, that was the only thing. 1st grandbaby's birthday was great for the kids, but us grownups melted. Had a blowout on the boat trailer coming home and my husband and son looked down and they were changing the tire in poison ivy. So they ended up throwing water balloons at each other after it was changed. If you get into poison ivy and wash it off right away, you shouldn't break out. (They didn't, Yea). Sorry, I can't move my pictures around once I downloaded them.

Got home late, washed clothes and then off to Houston moving all of my son's belongings, just me and him. Helped him set up his apartment and came back Tuesday late. Now by this time, I can't move to well.

Today, I had fun and went to my little sewing bee and had a little class on a new project. Just need to border it and I'll show a picture. I did mine in Christmas fabric so it might go to my swap partner as an extra something, not sure.

Now before I left for the July 4Th weekend, I got a package of some items I won from Jennifer @ http://sweetlibertygrace.blogspot.com/. Look at all this loot. I was so excited and I had so much to read on my trip. Thank you so much Jennifer for this giveaway. If you haven't visited her blog, you need to go, she has a great one.

Tomorrow is another day...My Mom's camp was broken into and since Mom has passed we have stored a lot of items from her house here. So now I have to go see what all is missing. We know they took the air condition unit, this is how they got into the camp. I hope they stay cool, cause I'm really hot about it.

My plans for the weekend is to sew, sew, sew. It always relaxes me.

Scrappy Purse and Visitors

Scrappy Purse and Visitors

I finished my scrappy purse this morning and it was one of those ideas you have that took more time than you thought it would. When I make purses I just dive in and I almost sunk with this one. Wanted to sew WST and bind it all the way around, in the end I was pleased. I love to braid my handles on purses. It really stays on your shoulder, if you haven't tried this it works really well.

Proud MiMi has to show some pictures!!!

Proud MiMi has to show some pictures!

I would like you to meet the newest member of our family, Abbyn. Of course me and PaPaw thinks she's beautiful and so proud of her parents.

This is when she said, "I'm not sure I like being out of my warm soft home."

And then she decided it wasn't bad after all.

Dad is so proud of his girls.

I'm so proud of my daughter, new Mom. Little sis is so tired. When she first saw her she said "I love that baby".

And big sis, just thinks she could be the best big sis there is.

PaPaw looks tired, we were there all night and she was born at 4:25 in the morning weighing in at 6.5 lbs, 18" long.

OK, everyone asking where was I, this is me worn out at home. I'll get a picture tomorrow with Abbyn. I took pictures all day and didn't get someone to take a picture of me holding her.

Isn't life GRAND,

Guess Where I've Been?

Guess Where I've Been?

At the hospital welcoming into the world grand baby #3. Daughter and baby doing great. Will be back with pictures.

What a great day,

Thank you Lord.

Towel for Customer and 2nd Grandbaby, a hoot!

Towel for Customer and 2ND Grandbaby, a hoot!

I had an order for a towel I had sent Susan @ http://blackberrycreek.typepad.com/blackberry_creek/

The order was for a jade color and do you know how many shades that color has? I thought I would take a picture and put in on my blog to see if she still wants it. I digitized this when I started thinking tea swap. So Dianne let me know if this is OK.

The next picture is one I just couldn't pass up. My second grandbaby who is 2 years 4 months saw my bra and asked, "Is that for your ninnies?" Now I don't know how to spell this and I guess she got this word from my daughter. I said yes and she said she wanted some. So as a Mimi, I did what she wanted. So I tied a bra around her and stuffed with tissue. She was so proud. Just wait till she gets older, you just aren't so proud then.

Tinkerbell & Princess and "The Winners"

My Little Tinkerbell and Princess

&

"The Winners"

First I have to share a couple of the girls in the Halloween outfits. It's so funny how things change, when I was growing up we had to do with what we had. I will never forget the year my Mom put a deer skin around me and went outside and got a round steak bone the dog had chewed cleaned. Tied that around my neck and I had got the doll BamBam so she had me carry his cave club. I was a cave girl that year. The kids now would probably have a cow if they had to dress like that.

Here's the girls...

I hope they will always stay close.

The winners of the contest are Diane @ http://dianobe.blogspot.com/ for the apron and May Britt @ http://abyquilt.blogspot.com/ . I guess I better email them and let them know. Congratulations and thank you all for entering.

Fall pictures and Angel Swap

Fall Pictures and Angel Swap

I wanted to post a couple of pictures of the grandbabies and a peek at my Angel Swap gifts. I am going to mail them Monday, I hate they are getting to her a little after October 31st. I can't show the other side because of initials on the bag. I'll show more pictures after they arrive.

Of course the grandbabies are first. This was while we took our little vacation, they had the cutest fall decor, but the sun was in their eyes and we didn't get real good pictures.

This next one they had some geese you could feed at a certain time and we had a hard time keeping Chloe from trying to go under the fence.

And this is just a peek at some of the things I sent my Angel Swap partner. She's an excellent sewer, so I hope she likes them.

Giveaway Below!

Grandbaby Home

God is good!

Sometimes that is all that needs to be said. Little Chloe did good with breathing treatments and steriods. She is home and still not talking much, just kinda squeaks. She wants to talk and you can tell she feel a lot better.

I kept Makinzie while sister was in the hospital or should I say sissy. I have to tell you I know why you have your children at a younger age. This MiMi is worn out. She is so good and I think a lot of us (MiMi's, NaNa, Grammy's, or whatever they call you), bring it on ourselves. We just have to have a good time and stay busy, it was really good getting some one on one time, but I went into the kitchen to cook when PaPaw woke up (he was on graveyards). That's another subject, keeping quite while PaPaw sleeps.

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts and tomorrow I will have the tutorial up.

I forgot to tell you, I recieved a note from the post office that a package was in. Linda @http://all-stitched-up.blogspot.com/ told me my bag was mailed, so I will be off to pick the package up tomorrow. I hope it's it. Can't wait....
