Grand-Kittens

They were born August 1 and are 25 days old in these pictures. I'm such a proud Grammy!



What a face!

Millennium Quilt

A project I started in the mid- late-90's was a cross-stitched quilt. I was real ambitious back then. I named it my millennium quilt because I thought I could finish all 49 squares for a queen quilt top by the year 2000. Didn't happen! Life got in the way and the project was put away for 8 or 9 years. When I finally brought it out again, I realized there was no way I could do 49 squares in my lifetime. SO, I decided to make each of my grandsons a twin size quilt using 6 squares. My Aunt Louise put the squares together into a quilt. My grandson Tony received his quilt on his 10th birthday. I am on the third square of Joshua's quilt. After that, I'll start on Bailey and James' quilts. Hopefully, arthritis won't set in before I finish. And, hopefully, I'll find a kindhearted relative who can quilt it together for me.

GIANT LADYBUGS!!

Finally, all of my ladybugs found their way to their new home in Maryland. They will soon be joined by some giant bumblebees.
