June 17th! Summer is here!

Yep, Summer is here. It's so hot outside, I'm just sitting inside trying to stay cool! Hey, it's been a crazy busy month since I last posted! I've done a little sewing: Well, noooo I've done a lot of sewing! I sewed baby bumper pads, crib skirt, 2 crib sheets, baby quilt, curtains, and changing pad cover, oh and a boppy cover---(all for my daughter, Grace's new nursery!). Here are some pics of that room:

Unbelievable!

It is unbelievable how fast time flies by! I cannot believe I don't get on this computer as much as I used to! I have been so busy. We are in the process of finishing up the new nursery for my daughter's second little boy due in August! He is one special little guy! Has his own room, while his big brother still has his own nursery room! This little guy is getting orange/brown/bluish-green/and cream as his main color pattern. There is a tree in the room on the wall now, with orange leaves, painted by my artist daughter: Melanie! It's adorable and the bedding was made by my daughter who is expecting (Grace) & myself! As soon as I get a chance I will take some pics of it and post them up here! Can't wait!

The weather is fearsome today! We're in the middle of some strong storms. It's as black as night out there though it is only 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon! Can't hardly fathom that!

Enjoy this Friday! Have a great weekend!

Sorry I haven't been here in a while!

Can't imagine how fast this past month flew by! We made it through Easter with all the demands of schedules, and dinners, etc. But, thanking the Lord for his Risen Son!

I have been busy pretty much every afternoon that I have been off work, helping my daughter make her new baby bedding, for the new little guy who is due in August. We've made bumper pads, skirt for the crib, sheets for the bed, a blanket/quilt, changing pad cover out of minky fabric, and curtains for the window and a shade. So, need I say more on how much time is involved in that little project? Cheesh!

My other daughter is over there tonight painting a mural on the wall: a tree. Our inspiration? an owl! So cute... I'll be sure to post some pics when we're finished. Though I wish we'd have taken some while in the process. Would have been fun to see the progress.

I always seem to forget to get the camera out when I'm working!

Over the course of the past month, I've made two visits to my 94 year old dad. He's out walking everyday, as usual and even chopped some wood a couple of weeks ago! Imagine being able to chop wood at 94! I'm amazed.
