I am really feeling nostalgic today! I've been working on patterns and house renovations and I am weary! I need to see my grandkids! The photo above was taken 10 years ago when we lived on the east coast. We had built a great pond and deck and finished it just in time to find out we were moving. Our granddaughter loved putting her hand on the water and feeling the fish tickle it thinking she might have some food for them. I would love to have that pond and deck here. I would love even more to have my grandkids here!
As I write, I'm waiting on workmen to come put the glass shower door in downstairs. Doug's television for his media room will be delivered this week, too. We still have a lot to do, but we're making progress.
I have reworked several patterns, too.
"Creativity"
(23" W x 45 1/2" L)
(This is actually a new pattern. I made this wall hanging in 2013, but had not written it up as a pattern until now.)
"Jesus Loves the Little Children"
( 41"W x 41"L)
"In God We Trust"
(35"W x 44"L)
(about 4" tall)
These have all been remade with multiple photos and better instructions. They are also in a 8 1/2" x 11" format, unfolded.
I do not have them yet in download form, but will happily mail them out to you if you want one. ($15 each plus postage).
Missing our grandchildren really takes a toll on us. At least we have FaceTime, Skype and other forms of staying in touch. Back before computers what did we ever do?! Your sewing room is amazing and will bring you countless hours of Creative Bliss. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Linda, lovely patterns and yes being with family brings such delight..glad to hear HOME is building up around you and you are finding all the comforts that will bring you so much joy...x
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda,
ReplyDeleteLong time since we connected. I've not blogged since April. I did get a new printer and lots of ink. Last time we connected you were still building your beautiful new home. I assume you are still there!? I'd love to hear an update if you have a brief moment.
I am having sleep issues that I can't seem to get down to the root cause. Two different viewpoints on the cause make treatment a problem. I fell asleep as i was driving home and woke up at least 25 ft. Into a man's front yard headed straight for the utility pole. I managed to keep from flipping over as I self corrected & managed to get the car back onto the highway. Whew, it scared me to death. I have a form of narcolepsy & often gal asleep at my sewing machine.
On a good note, I entered a quilt that won first place at the County Fair!
