Blanket I made for my Grand daughter and My Giveaway ending tomorrow!

 Hello Dear Friends,                                                  


I have been missing from
Blogland for a few days
because I am finishing up
on some projects for my
new Grand daughter
Lucia. She was born
the day after Thanks
giving 2010. My hubby and
I are driving to N.J.
next week to see Lucia
my two Grandsons
and the rest of my family.


On the quilt you will
see four fabric hearts                                                 
I have also made for
Lucia. The biggest
one I embroidered
her name onto.
I use to embroider
quite a bit in my
youth but now
with my eye problems
I have difficulty. I wanted
to embroider her first
and middle name but
could only manage
Lucia! What do you
think..does it look
ok???

The Fleece/Flannel
blanket I made was
so much fun to make.
I had some practice
a couple of years ago
as I had made some for
my two Grandsons.
I have to tell you
though, making
one in pink was
a delight....I love
pink very much!!

I also have a quilt
that needs some
"Tweeking"
as Tom Hanks
would say in
You've Got Mail!
Lol...

I am also making
matching booties
for the little sweetie
with the flower fleece
on the outside and
the lining of the pink
and white flannel
thats on the other
side of the blanket.



Well my Dears my Giveaway
is ending tomorrow so  if you have
not entered... please do
so. Ok?

Love You all sooo
much!!

Blessings and Peace,

Susan

    What a heirloom treasure you have created. She may be sleeping with that at age 18 like my daughter and her favorite blanket!

    Lovely, it will be loved to pieces. Is it safe to have buttons on it? Probably fine for now. Lucia is a beautiful name and needs no further embellishment, IMO. The angel wall hanging will be something she will always remember, even when she is as old as me. I remember the one we had in our bedroom as a child. Have a wonderful journey!

    Oh Susan..Lucia will cherish this blanket for all her days. I am sure of it! It's Beautifully and Lovingly Created from one of the Dearest Hearts I've Come To Know In Quite Awhile! :)) My maternal grandmother gave me my first piece of jewelry the day of my birth. And Susan..I still have it. It's in a Special Memory Box with all my Precious Memories. Have A Safe And Wonderful Journey To NJ and give Sweet Lucia a squeeze for me. With Love & Friendship, Terri

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
