• Celebrating early

    I just returned from a wonderful trip to Germany with my granddaughters.   I took Michaela, Alyssa and Diana (my daughter-in-law) with me for 8 days of relaxing fun with Lily.   We made memories to last a lifetime and it was so good to get away.

    Thank you to each of you who commented on my last blog post.  I don’t think I could have made it through the weekend without such loving words coming my way.  I read every comment, every email and some of them twice.  It was a rough weekend for all of us here, and knowing that so many of you cared really helped.  You are not just blog readers, but people who I love having in my life.  Thank you all so very much!

  • Halloween Fabric

    Look at this yummy fabric I just got from Renee Nanneman of Need’l Love fame.   Candy Corn and Black Magic, two bundles on my design table now, thanks to her. I love it so much I almost hate to open the bundles, but I’ve been dreaming up some applique bats and this is the perfect fabric.  Hummm wonder what else I can dream up quickly.  It’ll be Halloween before we know it. Hugs, Anne
