Sweet Dreams

One of my students had us over for dinner. She made the entire meal herself. I was so proud of her! As a little thank you, I made the sisters sweet pillowcases.

Shannon's Baby

Shannon works at our school as a PE and recess aide. She always has a smile on her face and speaks in soft tones. The kids LOVE her. Mrs. Shannon, as she is known, is now having a baby of her own. We will miss her at LCE. She was mum about the baby's gender so I went old school with the 1930's fabric and some hankies.

Bon Appetit Bob and Roz

I made these place mats for my jet setting friends Bob and Roz. Captain Bob is a pilot with Quantas and literally is a jet setter! We love the opportunity to spend time with him and his beautiful wife Roz. Back home in Australia, they own a winery, hence the wine theme fabric.

Happy July!

School's out and I'm loving it! I adore the kids, love my job, but let's face it, having the summer off is pretty wonderful. I have been sewing every day and even managed to dust the family room yesterday and clean the kitchen. Today I am off to deliver some fabric tubs to a friend and surprise my Angel Kathy with a 4th of July table runner. It is nothing fancy, but will add a bit of color to her table.

Happy Day and Helping Paws

Just trying to get some work finished and Rusty had other ideas. Thanks kitty.
We celebrated Carly's graduation and met her lovely family.

Helping Hands Festival for Haiti and Chile

I had the best day today. One of Girl Scout troops held a fundraiser to help the earthquake victims Haiti and Chile. This same group held their first festival after Hurricane Katrina. I am so proud of these girls. They made gift items for sale, had music, a magician, a garage sale, games, and craft booths. The fire department came with the big hook and ladder truck. Even Miss La Canada made an appearance. I made a quilt and it sold right away. I love hanging out with 2nd graders, but watching them grow up is pretty cool too.

Isn't She Lovely?

We met Carly today. Billy never stopped smiling. She is smart, funny, talented, lovely, and she makes my son happy. We heart Carly.
