grandpa superman

Last week, I received a frightening text from my Mom telling me that she had my Dad at the ER with chest pain. Go here to read the full details. After a LONG day of tests and one ride in a helicopter, my Dad was scheduled for triple bypass surgery. THANKFULLY the surgery was a success after millions of prayers! It was hard to be away from family during this stressful time and I wanted to help in anyway, but knew there wasn't anything I could do hundreds of miles away. So...this is what I came up with.



Lame...I know. He is having open-heart surgery and I make him a shirt? [sigh] I felt helpless.

Dad....I think you're Superman and I'm so grateful you're alive & well.

P.S. All this stress led me to do the one thing I do to keep busy....SEW! Oh man, wait til you see what I accomplished last week to keep me from worrying too much.

    I'm so glad your dad is okay. I had no idea. That's way scary. And you're so crafty. I love it!

    I don't think it's lame in the least. I'm sure he will wear it with pride and gratitude. I'm so glad he is OK.

Stitches in Thailand & Vietnam

I spent the last two weeks vacationing in Thailand and Vietnam.  They are both incredibly beautiful places and I loved seeing a different part of the world.  The landscapes were full of lush greenery, rice patties, and an occasional wild elephant was spotted.  My favorite part was "trekking" with the elephants along a jungle path to a water hole where we were able to bath and scrub two giant elephants.  I also got to feed them and their little baby.  Truly a highlight of my life.   Another highlight for me is getting to see the talents and skills done in needlework and sewing from other cultures. I'm usually the only one taking pictures of these kinds of things.  I love seeing the fabric they use and the cultural influence in their creations.  I learned about a village of women who created these items after learning to sew.  With the skills they now have, they are able to stay at home with their children and with their income they ar...

modern bright baby boy quilt

Two of these were created for two sweet new baby boys.  A nephew and a neighbor. Bright modern fabrics were perfect and the soft light grey minky on the back was the perfect touch!

little boy toy tote

I've been dreaming of these for month s [emphasize the "s" in month]. My two boys are constantly trying to pack around a bazillion toys at one time and I find them scattered throughout my house as they fall from their full hands. Little boy toy totes: -one large pocket in back, -two pockets on front (one small, one big), -jean pocket attached on front, -side hook on left side for hanging swords or the like, -interfaced with super duty duckcloth for durability, (I knew that they would be stuffed with cars, power rangers, trains, books, dinosaurs, tools, more cars, so it HAD to be strong) - tie closures around waist, - fits my 5 & 3-yr-old perfectly. The pattern will be up for sale in my etsy shop sometime next week. V&Co. started a 'link post' for anyone to show what they have been up to. See here . Little boy toy totes are #13. LOTS of fun projects from so many people. Thanks V&Co for letting us 'toot our own horns' every once in awhil...
