So, what have I been up to you ask?

I've made banana bread a few times...






and I received the most beautiful flowers from my honey for Valentines day...

and gathered our precious family together for a photo...

Have I mentioned that I love these folks? Well, I do. Bunches.

Friendship Quilt...

After 36 years with Ben Lomand Telephone Company, our CFO Gail Woodlee will be retiring this month. The sweet folks in her department included me in the making of a quilt for her as a retirement gift. Each person's name was embroidered on a log cabin square. In the center was a needle-turn applique watering can filled with flowers. The project would have never gotten off the ground without the ever-so-talented Tammy McKinney. This girl truly amazes me with her quilting. I could learn a lot from her. Tammy comes from a family of quilters so I think she's had some great teachers along the way. Tammy's mom was the sweetie that stippled the quilt after the top was assembled. We are all truly grateful for all she did to help. Several different people contributed to the making of the quilt. I won't try to name them all for fear of leaving someone out. Tammy let me help her with the center of the quilt so she taught me how to do the needle-turn applique. I'm telling ya...this could be another addiction...

New stuff...

I'm trying to learn to knit...it has been a challenge for me and that's about all I can say about that...


Another flannel baby blanket with crochet trim. I have to build up a stash because I'm pretty sure there will be tons of baby showers next spring at our church...

And last but not least...a birthday gift...
