Grandma June and Texas

I have family in Utah and California and it seems like unless there is a funeral I don't get to see them these days.

I was so thankful to have my Aunt and Uncle watch my cousins children nearby us so that we could see my Grandma while they were here for a week. We only had one night to see them but it was so nice.

I sure do value this time. Its hard with her being my only grandparent of 6 left. My mother passed 5 years ago so its rough around holidays.

At one point I reminded her I was "Jenny", she says Oh you are, well aren't you pretty, we'll keep you. Then she sang me "You are my Sunshine". It was the most perfect moment. One I will keep always.

My daughter was very taken by her. She doesn't remember her nana, her dad's mom much these days but the forgetfullness sure was so similar. She could not believe my patience and understanding over lost ideas and memories. Just siting holding her hand is plenty.

This is one of my favorite photos from the evening.

Last Minute Christmas Orders

Every year I get those last minute orders that I try my best to fit in to my schedule

These two made the list since they just had 12 shirts and I could do them in the last week of my orders and still get them in the mail in time. They both wrote back and thanked me and gave great reviews.

Local Graduation Christmas Order

I made two quilts for this customer. This is her daughters quilt.

She wanted something very simple. I tried to give her the best quilt I could with the bucket of Tshirts she provided

Junior Class Ring Ceremony

Junior Ring Ceremony

We don't really do things like class rings, its kind of expensive and we see it more as a want then a need. It sure is nice but its out of our money ability.

However, that being said, my daughter got to speak at the ceremony since she is the class historian, she was in charge of the closing.

What I loved was the dress we found for her, it was perfect in every way

Cross Country Banquet

Cross Country~ Last year we had to take the season off

Zekaryah started having some issues health wise and we could not seem to come up with the answers. This year he received the Fighting Heart Award with two other young men this season. 

He enjoyed getting back out there and running and is looking forward to Track season as well.

His girlfriend came to support him at the Banquet

I am thankful for this photo that she took

This is his coach from Jr. High, she always comes to events to cheer on all the kiddos

This is his new male coach this year

And this is the female coach. it was a great season

2015 Winter Choir Performance

We enjoy their winter choir performance. Every year they have baskets to auction off, trees that each class year creates that are auctioned and a dress up/relaxed portion of the show.

They have so many choirs to showcase and each is special in its own way.

My favorite is always the fun portion with them in holiday dress and enjoying themselves

Always so many smiles~

Southern Methodist Quilt

Having a student at this college, it excited me to make this quilt for my customer

She is a repeat customer and local to our area. She had a queen size quilt and 2 pillowcases made last year. This time we made a smaller college quilt.
