My sweet friend Gretchen reminded me just a couple of days ago that I have been terribly remiss in blog writing. In fact, Caroline and I have talked about this more than once, but I have been a very bad blogger. So, with your forgiveness, let me try again.
Welcome 2017. Such a busy time with lots going on. Busier days - as many have said before, How did I have time to work? So much going on.
Here is some catching up and a peak into what's on the docket.
We fulfilled one item on the "wouldn't it be fun" list. With a group of friends, we took a train to Leavenworth, WA, in the snow. And, in fact, it snowed almost all of the week-end. It was fun and beautiful and the tree lighting activities were so incredibly crowded. Probably would skip that part another time.
The whole family was together to celebrate the Christmas holidays. A great time for everyone.
Even my son got into the spirit of the Family church service, with his sheep ears and a crown for my daughter-in-law.
Nana did some sewing of dolly clothes. At least American Girl doll is a better size than the old Barbie's.
Since then I have been working on making squares of various "stars", to put together into a throw.
Working on a quilt for the RV group's auction this summer - can't show you that, but here is a bit of a preview. I quite like it myself - so I'm not sure one can put a "reserve" on a donation.
and of course, work continues on Days for Girls kits. We just recently sent 100 kits for Syrian women. This is a marvelous organization, should you be looking for a new charity to support. Your help would be great. Happy January. Let's hope that Nana can continue as she has begun.
Glad you have picked up blogging again! Great picture of the both of you in the snow! Your blocks are very pretty as well as the doll clothes. Great outfit! I am sure you made the girls happy with it! Your charity project sounds great! I hope you will find a few more helpers to assist!
