We love you Gram!

She finally got her wings today...............
 
 

Our Prayers have all been answered

I finally arrived

The healing that had been delayed

Has now been realized

No one's in a hurry

There's no schedule to keep

We're all enjoying Jesus

Just sitting at His feet

If you could see me now

I'm walking streets of gold

If you could see me now

I'm standing tall and whole

If you could see me now

You'd know I've seen His face

If you could see me now

You'd know the pain's erased

You wouldn't want me to ever

leave this place

If you could only see me now

My light and temporary trials

Have worked out for my good

To know it brought Him glory

When I misunderstood

Though we've had our sorrows

They can never compare

What Jesus has in store for us

No language can share

You wouldn't want me to ever

leave this perfect place

If you could only see me now

If you could see me now

If only you could see me now

Into each life a little rain must fall....

......feels like a downpour.
Our beloved Gram is slipping away....She's almost 103 years old. 
Each day now might be her last.  As we all keep vigil at her bedside,  precious memories are recalled, family rifts have been healed. 
She is loved by many.  She is a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, a great-great grandmother.  But mostly, she is a Christian, who's life has been an influence on all of us.
We just love her now.
She is not dying of an illness, she has NEVER been on any medication.  She is passing only from old age.
Don't be sad for Gram though, she will soon be with her Heavenly Father in a far better place than we can imagine and there will be a reunion of loved ones passed.

I love you Gram, Now go get your wings, you deserve the largest pair ever.......................................

Good Morning Sunshine!

It's a sunny day with a bright blue sky.....too bad it's so cold!  It was -10 degrees at 8 this morning.
I'm feeling good and headache free, thank God. 
Too cold to venture out so I'm going to hunker down and "fire up" the sewing machine.  I have rabbits that are screaming to get out of my head....lol!

Shouldn't be long now....................

Day three.......

...of the migraines.  Again. 
I'm trying to function a bit, peek into facebook, check my email and post this to my blog.  Then I think it's back to bed again for the day.

This is starting to get old.

Pink and Brown!

My daughter is having her first baby and it's a girl.  So I'm planning a baby shower and decided to forgo the usual "baby" themed decor and have opted for a pink and brown theme instead.
I'm just having the best time planning, there is ALOT out there for a pink/brown shower.

And speaking of pink, OH MY GOODNESS, I just bought the cutest pink beanie hat with a giant pink ruffled bow on the side!  Buying for grandbabies is such fun, we now shop for 3!

We are truly blessed!

I've picked a winner!

Maritza, you have won the free pattern drawing!
Congrats, I will be sending out your "Favorite Things" pattern asap!
Thanks so all who entered.

Favorite Things

I'm so excited about this new design.  I'm calling it "Favorite Things" as these dollies seem to have their favorites with them.  The pattern will include the 16" standing raggedy doll.  Also included is a pattern for the 8" lil raggedy dolly as well as the way-cool 7" sitting elephant.  There's ALOT you can do with this pattern for sure!
Don't be scared off by the elephant, it is made from plush felt and you can either string-joint the arms and legs or just sew them in place like I did!
I'm going to offer a few limited amounts of kits for these dolls  This pattern is $12.00 + shipping. 
Leave a comment and I will enter your name in a drawing for a FREE "Favorite Things" pattern!!!
One more thing....if you don't want a standing dolly, there's the option in this  pattern to just make a regular sitting dolly!

Be watching for the release date of this pattern and the availability of the kits.
