CURTAIN SKIRTS

I made these…

I didn’t like them.

So I made this out of them…

Then I made more….

And I made these….

For their hair.

And these…

For an accent.

I made them for these….

And this….

And this….

So cute…

Their Mom did their hair…

Love it.

Posing….

 

(We need to pull it up over that cute little belly.)

More posing….

I put some straps on this one so it’s a dress this year and a skirt next year…

They like them!

 

CHECKING MY POLKA DOTS

 
I had this…

I love polka dots!!!
I had this…

I love ric rac!!!
I had this stuff….

I love it too except they never put enough in one package to do a quilt so you have to buy two and then you have lots left over.
I had this dish towel…     actually I had 2.
 
Not a big fan of dish towels.
I was always the dryer when my brother and I did the dishes. I don’t like doing dishes thus… I  don’t like dish towels except…
When you cut them in half…

See you have it already finished on one side.\
So you cut a strip of polka dot fabric and fold it in half the long way and sew it to the unfinished edge.
Then sew on your ric rac…
 
Make a casing on the back with your extra blanket binding…









And Voila…..

You have curtains for your kitchen.


I made 2 sets…

I love them!!!
 

Ric Rac, Ribbon and Pom Poms.

I had these…

 

And these…

Put them together and you have these…

Hummm… Not very cute,

Try again and you have these…

 

Perfect for giving to your friends for Valentines Day.

COVER UP

I had these…..

Booooring!

I had this….

Cute!

I also had this….

 

Sooo, I did this…

That's better.

I put them up…

They match my spices.

And my clock…

And my knives…

I like them.

ALL SPICED UP

I had lots of these….

And one of these….

I had some of this….

So I did this….

I like it…

It goes nicely in my red and white kitchen.

Oh, and I also have one of these…

Don’t exactly know what I did but it started to hurt really bad while I was on vacation so I went to the Dr. and he said it is broken.

Now I have these….

It doesn’t hurt anymore!!  Nothing does!

ONE YEAR OLDER AND WISER TOO…

HAH!  Older maybe but not so much wiser.

This is my favorite birthday picture of all time…

My son sent me this picture when he was deployed to Afghanistan.

I just had to share it.

I WENT TO CALIFORNIA

for this…

and this…

and this….

and lots of these…

 

And lots more…

WHO ARE ALL THES KIDS AND WHY DO THEY KEEP CALLING ME GRAMS?

Christmas here was the usual busy time. We have 14 grandkids now with 2 more on the way. The oldest is 12! 

For some reason when I gathered them all into a circle to open presents, it hit me….

WOW!  THERE A LOT OF KIDS HERE!

Usually when we get together, they are all over the place and never in one place together.

 

They never were really still enough long enough to get a good picture. We are rather a busy wild bunch.  (Note the one standing on my table.)

I handed out the presents one at a time by age.

I was a fun time.
