Mother-in-law and Mom-in-love

I have the most wonderful mother-in-law.

She is a very gentle lady.

She is kind.

She is the jewel of our family.

We all treasure her.

Today is her birthday!

We love you!

My childhood rocker is officially an antique!

I climbed into our attic to retrieve this precious little chair.
Don used some wood glue to make it more sturdy.
We cleaned the wood and refreshed the finish.
I made the little skirt and pillows to give it a new life.

I spent many hours in this little chair when I was small.
My children used it when they were young.
I think it is time for the next generation.

Girlie Creations

I made peasant dresses for Olivia, Leslie and Lily this week. I used the same collection of fabrics with different combinations.I think they all turned out cute.

It's finally done!

I feel like the girl in the rice krispie treat ad that throws a little flour on her face and walks out saying, "It's finally done!"
Whew!!! It took 6 months but Ava's blanket is finished. I like what Vickie tells me when I say "Well, it's not perfect." She always says, "Only God is perfect ." Kayla, when Ava is old enough to understand tell her that I was just learning to knit. I've got a long way to go to be good at it! But I thought of my love for her with every stitch.
