CANCER HATS

34 Hats in all

I have a friend that has brain cancer. She had two surgeries in 13 days. She was having drainage from her nose, turns out it was fluid from her brain so they had to go back in and fix it. She is home now and will start chemo and radiation soon. She still has her smile. PRAYING KARAN!  LOVE YOU!

THE BIG SNOW OF 1-28-2014

 TIM MADE A SNOW ANGEL FOR MY FRIEND MELISA IN OHIO. WE LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GET HIM UP.

 GRASSY SNOW ANGEL.

 SNOOPY HAVING FUN RUNNING AND PLAYING IN THE SNOW.

THE ROAD IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. THIS LITTLE BIT OF SNOW SURE DID CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN ALABAMA. I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T GET A LOT OF IT, THIS IS A LOT OF TROUBLE. A LOT OF ALABAMA KIDS HAD TO STAY ALL NIGHT AT SCHOOL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE STRANDED ON THE ROADS ALL NIGHT.

A GIFT FROM OHIO

MY FRIEND IN OHIO SENT ME A BOX LAST WEEK. I WAS LIKE A LITTLE KID  TRYING TO GET IT OPEN.

 I CALLED HER SO SHE COULD SHARE IN MY JOY. HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER ALSO HAD A HAND IN GIVING ME PRESENTS. I HAVE MAPLE CANDY FROM VERMONT AND A BOX OF BBQ LARVA. YES LARVA...WORMS...BBQ WORMS. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS CANDY. IT'S NOT CANDY. LOL  I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF TO PLAY WITH. I CAN CROCHET,PAPER CRAFT, PAMPER MYSELF AND EAT IF I GET HUNGRY.

I HAVE A LOT OF SCRAP BOOKING THINGS NOW. I WILL SHARE THESE WITH MY NEW DAUGHTER. I GOT HER INTO IT BY MAKING A PAGE OF HER AND JOHN AND THEN LETTING HER HELP ME. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN HAVING SOMEONE TO SHARE A CRAFT WITH. NOW SHE DOES IT ALL BY HERSELF. I'M SO PROUD OF HER AND LOVE HER SO MUCH.

MELISA MADE THIS CUTE DRESS INTO A CLOTHES PIN HOLDER. SHE KNOWS I LIKE PURPLE. NOW I NEED TO GET SOME NEW CLOTHES PINS TO GO INSIDE IT.   I LOVE MELISA AND HER FAMILY SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL FOR MY PRESENTS.

CANCER HATS

THESE HATS ARE SO EASY TO MAKE.

 THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS FINDING THE RIGHT MATERIAL. BUT THEN I'VE ONLY LOOKED TWO PLACES.

 THAT'S BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE TWO PLACES IN TOWN TO SHOP FOR MATERIAL. LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE GOING ON A LITTLE ROAD TRIP FOR MATERIAL.

 I LOVE THIS PURPLE HAT BUT DIDN'T FOLLOW THE PATTERN SO IT'S A ONE OF A KIND.

 I DIDN'T THINK THIS GRAY WOULD BE PRETTY BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL. THEY DO HAVE A LITTLE MORE OF THIS MATERIAL SO I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET TO TOWN TO GET SOME MORE TODAY.

TIM HELPING ME MAKE THE PATTERN. HE LIKES TO HELP ME WHEN HE CAN SO I FIND LITTLE THINGS HE CAN DO. HAVE A BLESSED DAY! 

GUESS WHO IS 10 MONTHS OLD?

MISS RUTHIE IS 10 MONTHS OLD NOW. SHE HAS CAME A LONG WAY. SO PROUD OF YOU BABY GIRL. SHE CAN SIT UP BY HERSELF AND SHE CAN TURN OVER. SHE WANTS TO CRAWL BUT SHE ONLY GOES BACKWARDS FOR NOW. SHE IS TRYING TO CUT HER FIRST TOOTH AS WELL.  THANK YOU SWEET JESUS!

MY BRIGHT IDEA

 I WAS MAKING BABY BIBS THIS WEEKEND AND HAD A GREAT IDEA.  I PUT TAPE ON THE RIBBON TO KEEP IT IN PLACE SO I DIDN'T SEW INTO IT. I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING THIS. I DON'T USE PINS BECAUSE I WOULD GET STUCK AND IT MESSES UP THE RIBBON. I KNOW I'M NOT THE FIRST BY ANY MEANS TO DO THIS BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE.

THESE WILL BE DONATED SOMEWHERE.

WE HAVE A DAUGHTER

TIM MAKING SURE WE GET A DAUGHTER

JOHN AND CARRIE

WE ARE MARRIED

THEY WERE GOING TO GET MARRIED ON THEIR FRONT PORCH AND A WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND HAD A SMALL WEDDING. I HAD A WEEK TO GET THE FOOD TOGETHER. IT WAS GREAT!
THE NIGHT BEFORE JOHN WAS SLEEP WALKING WENT OUTSIDE AND FELL OF THE 15 FOOT HIGH DECK. HE HAS BRUISED RIBS AND A FRACTURED ARM. THANK YOU LORD FOR TAKING CARE OF HIM. I CAN'T THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD GOD NOT BEEN WITH HIM.

RUTHIE IS HOME

LITTLE RUTHIE IS FINALLY HOME. SUCH A STRONG BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL. LOVE YOU MISS RUTHIE.
