Q is for Quilts and O is for Thank God 26 Letters in 26 Days is FINALLY Over!

This one is easy...in fact, I'm kinda cheating. Here are some quilts I made before I got hijacked by the embroidery bug! Some are not quilted yet and are pinned to the design wall. And some are being inspected by the quality control supervisors. Such helpful cats!

Thanks for visiting and I'll be back with some cool new things I've been working on!

Y is for YAYYYYY!!

We went for a nice walk with Avery at the park.
Nannie got to "wear" him in a Moby Wrap.
And we're getting ready to webcam with Zoey!!!!
YAYYYYY - I'm in grandbaby heaven!!
Pictures at some point!

U is for Unexpected!!

OMG, I am SO EXCITED!!!
Rachel, Travis and most importantly,
AVERY are coming to visit us this weekend!!!!!
It's only Friday-through Sunday,
but you know I'll be cooking like they'll be here
for 2 weeks, because I want to make everyone's favorite!!!
Avery's meals
are easy, LOL...Rachel takes care of that!

So if you don't hear from me over the weekend,
you'll know why!
YAYYYYYYYY

Thanks for stopping by!

H...Happy Mother's Day!

Mine has been GREAT so far...hope yours is, too!

Whaaat??
Thanks for visiting!

Mystery Letter #2

I think this mystery letter is hard.
Probably impossible. I just Googled the word
and these are the images, so don't think I
KNEW all this!! Only H, I, O, Q, U and Y are left.
GUESSES, anyone?? Guesses, Trevor??

Thanks for visiting!! Off to embroider!

And Z is for...

Zoey, of course! You surely didn't think I would do a post on our grandson Avery and NOT do a post on our granddaughter, Zoey...right?Those of you who have read my blog for a while are maybe sick of the panda hat picture. It's my favorite one of Zoey, just like yesterday's Avery pic is my favorite of him, so sorry. LOL

Rachel (Avery's mommy) and Sarah (Zoey's momma) worked so hard to make our March visit extra special, because it happened to fall on my birthday. We all know that our sons weren't the driving force in coming up with fun birthday stuff for me, right?!

It was SO much fun to watch our two grandbabies interact when we were there. Like this picture, for example...hopefully she's
KISSING him and not BITING, LOL.

No wonder poor Avery always looked like this when she was around, LOL!

Glad you could visit!
If you're not busy tonight at 8 EST (and if you "do" Facebook), pop over to Boutique Challenge Group's Comment Game. You'll see what I've been working so hard to create.

If you're not on FB, don't worry. I'll post some pics of the items soon! There is one item that is almost guaranteed to make you smile!

A is for...

Hi, are you still there? I've been gone so long...just sewing away! We're in another Comment Game tomorrow and I've been trying to get a gazillion little things ready...I told my hubby that after tomorrow, things should settle down some. He just went, "Hmmmm." LOL

So...A is for Avery. Yes, it's my blog and you're going to have to put up with the proud Nannie thing. But really, isn't this the SWEETEST expression?! Try not to focus on the spitup on his chin, LOL. He LOVES his daddy!


And A is also for ARMY (or AIR FORCE, if I changed the colors). Show dad you are PROUD of him! And just in time for Father's Day, too!

This design is shown on a bib/burpie set, but we can put it on most anything...I'm doing a tote for the granddaughter of a coworker...also it could go on a t-shirt, onesie, etc. I can change the uniform colors and the colors of the wording. This uniform (even the little boots!) was made from genuine upcycled camo fabric.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be back WAY sooner than I was this time!!

Some Days...

are like this! OMG, watch this video
and don't worry, it has a happy ending!


I've been incredibly busy...had to have 11 different
items ready for a promotion yesterday.
We have some brand-new things
for moms and for boys...will
be posting them soon for you to see!

My portfolio is also due at school.
I'm national board certified, but I
gotta prove I can teach **wink**.

I feel like the momma duck,
trying to keep it together!
OH and by the way,
M is for Momma Duck!

X...

Well, we all know there are not many words that start with X.
So how about these 2 pics?:

Yikes. Alright, off to bed. I'll try to do better next time.
Thanks for stopping by!

C is for CUTE!

Isn't our new baby set that we made as a gift for a friend just the CUTEST thing?!
There's a monogrammed onesie, bib, burpie
and paci leash.
We think a set of four coordinating baby items
would be a great baby shower gift for a
family member or close friend.

This was truly a labor of love...
the little island and especially the little map took FOREVER.
For that reason, we'll be offering the set with matching designs...
in this case, it will be the pirate alphabet letter (like the 'O' on the onesie).
We also have these designs available:Whaddya think? Cute??
Thanks for stopping by.

K...

Today's 26 Letters in 26 Days post is K: for kids, kindergarten and Kong. Although I teach kindergarten, several years ago I created a program for 4th and 5th kids at our school called Achievers "R" Leaders (ARL). [I got the idea for my program from Jennifer in Ohio, who is a friend of my great friend, Darlene.]

Please allow me to shamelessly brag on my kiddos by posting this video. This is on local TV 3 times a day all week. I HATE cameras (my profile picture is my cat, Kong), so the making of this video was more than a tad painful for me. But I was SO PLEASED with how it turned out, because the producer really captured the essence of ARL.

Without further ado, CLICK HERE TO WATCH 'THIS JUST IN'!

Woo hooo! My kids ROCK!! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

G is for Grouchy

I'm so tired and crabby I can't even stand myself!
I'm off to bed and will be back,
hopefully tomorrow, with a better attitude.
Thanks for stopping by and putting up with a grouch!

T...TIRED

Off to bed! Thanks for stopping by!
