Crafts and grandkids


I think I will show off both crafts and grandkids this a.m. Just before Christmas I stuck very close to one project to get it finished by Sunday. I seldom do only one thing. I move from project to project and at the time I was working on a Christmas Quilt. I wanted to finish it so that I could put it in a basket and nest the many half pints of Apple Butter I had made for members of my little church. I didn't want to simply sign someone's name on the outside and my name on the inside and call it GOOD. A little bah humbug, a little rebellious and a whole lot of ME. So, instead, I put up many, many half pints of Apple Butter and gave each household in my church a jar instead of a card. Pictured are the two Arizona grand kids, Michael (pretending to sleep) and Danica on Christmas morning under the quilt. Michael claimed that project. I have found that new quilts are warm and comfy. A nice thing in my Arizona desert, especially when it rains all night, as it did last night. In fact, it is still raining. RAH!

I like the pics with people in them so keep that up! I prefer the ones with MY kids in them, but Danica and Michael are my 2nd choice so I liked this one too! We all have the flu... kill me! (Is that not appropriate blogging material?) ... need I.V... fading fast... send pepto bismo... and money...

Dear A-non-a-moose: Thank you for visiting my site. Hope you come again. I will keep adding pictures. I love these web cameras. My late husband earned money in his early years being a pro photog. He always loved taking pictures. He would probably enjoyed these cameras as much as I do. Hope you are not ill for too long. Get well soon.
