Quilt Topper

Image
I wasn't happy with the white bedspread in the Grandchildren's Room, but I didn't really know what I wanted. I'm so glad I waited. Yesterday, I found a quilt top at a local Antique Store. It looks perfect on the bed and I'm sure will provide hours of alphabet "lessons". I can just picture a sweet little lady somewhere lovingly embroidering each picture's letter. A is for Apple B is for Ball C is for Camel (not sure why some of the pictures came out sideways) D is for Duck E is for Elephant F is for Frog G is for Goose H is for Hen I is for Ice Cream J is for Jack in the Box K is for Kangaroo L is for Lamb M is for Mouse N is for Needle O is for Owl P is for Penguin Q is for Quill R is for Rabbit S is for Squirrel T is for Turkey U is for Umbrella V is for Vegetables W is for Windmill and then there are X, Y, and ...

When my mom visited Colorado Springs in February, she went to music class with Kelly, David and Aaron. Isn't this just the most priceless picture?  

Barbie and Sue Visit the Springs

I think this is my last Catch-Up post. My dear friends Barbie and Sue visited me in February. We had so much fun and they were wonderful guests. Hi Barbie! Can you believe that I have known and loved this lady since we were 9 years old?  I won't tell you how many years that has been but you can do the math. Welcome Sue! Sue and I have only known each other since high school days.  Baby friendship!  Ha! We had to wear hairnets for the Celestial Seasonings Tour. Aren't we cute? In front of our Blue Spruce. This is a view of Pikes Peak from the end of our street. Another shot of the Peak and of Sue. We stopped at the end of the street on our way out to get this picture. Crazy tourists!!! Visiting David's house. We also had a good visit with Caleb and Aaron, but somehow Nana didn't get pictures.   Sue and Barbie climbing at Garden of the Gods. Our trip to Woodland Park got cut short by a snow storm. ...

Happy Valentine's Day

 Yes, I am going backwards in time as I catch up. Please bear with me. The table was set and all ready for the Valentine's Party with 3 very special little boys plus an added guest. The cute blue bags were for the boys to take  home their goodies in. Loved these little vintage looking plates.  I think they came from Hobby Lobby. The cereal boxes were a Pinterest find and they were a big hit. What would a Valentine's Party be without conversation hearts? Jeremy delivers Aaron and Caleb to the party..... and they soon discover the goodies on the table. Kelly arrives with David. Notice the snow on the ground. Caleb is such a good big cousin. He likes to keep an eye on David. Sweetie was in town and she made heart hats for the boys. Aaron think he is very handsome. David's heart hat. Let's check out how we look. Making a collage. Craft time was fun. Look at my collage. I made a heart ...
