Batik Bag

I made this bag for a special friend of mine. She has a very bright and fun personality and this is just like her. I hope she loves it as much as I do.

PROM!!!

It is hard to believe my baby girl went to prom last night. She looked so beautiful it brought a tear to her parents eyes.She went with her friend Chris and they had a great time. Chris's Mom made her beautiful jewelry. 

 

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

The making of this cake has become a tradition in our family. This year we included my oldest son's girlfriend Heather in on the fun.

A Surprise!

My birthday is not until next week (April 11th) but my family and friends surprised me last night with a fun party. They even had an Easter Egg hunt. This was special because my Mom had Easter egg hunts for my birthday parties when I was a child.

My dear husband even had a quilt put on my cake. How sweet was that! Yes this was a a big birthday so we did not need to have too many candles.

Another play

Another play this time I ventured on stage! For the first time I was on stage with my husband and daughter. We had so much fun. The play was "Inherit the Wind". It is about the Scopes monkey trail. A young teacher tried to teach evolution in a small Tennessee town in 1926, as you can image it did not go over well. We had so much fun doing this play. The cast was just wonderful!

I am Sorry it has been soooo long.

I have been very busy even though you could not tell by reading my blog! Just after this last post, my family was very busy with some community theater. "The Magic of Beauty and the Beast" was our latest play, some of us are tech people, we work back stage. My daughter loves to be on the stage. She played Patience, Beauty's sister.

I have also done some quilting. I finished my Dear Jane Quilt. I gathered the blocks that I had done quite a few years ago, and made about 12 more to make 36 blocks. It makes a nice size wall hanging. After it has hung for a couple weeks (while we were doing the play) I think it needs more quilting. Now just to find the time!

I have other things going too. Pictures of them soon. But frist another play. But this time lots of us are on stage! Yes even me. My husband, daughter and I are all on stage with one daughter back stage. It will be lots of fun. We open next weekend. "Inherit the Wind" it is about the Scopes Monkey Trial. I am a church lady and needed to have some sewing hand work to look busy on stage as we watch the trial. So while other ladies are knitting I will be sewing on a quilt. I made a Monkey Wrench as a way of connecting to the play. I will have pics soon. But here is a peak.

SNOW!! We woke up to surprise snow today. No it was not predicted, it is so pretty. What a wonderful surprise.
