A Whirlwind Of A Week-Phewwww!

What a lot of stuff packed in to a week and sprinkle some computer related problems on top of that - which means no post for a whole long week!! A very occasional email here and there, but for whatever reasons I could not post on blogger. Then my girl came to the rescue AGAIN, and here I am back in business.

The work shower last Sunday was wonderful. Photos you ask?? Well, seems as though my camera was set on video and pictures that were taken for me were not able to be downloaded to a file ....I am sure they can be I just can't figure it out! My friend Pat who was there taking pictures has a disk for me that I will get tomorrow, so pictures coming soon! So many wonderful friends were there. It was very overwhelming to Megan and myself and we are very grateful for all the work the girls went to for putting the shower together and to all those who came. Here's a picture I took before the shower of The Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt I made for Megan. The kit was from Fons and Porter and worked up really fast.

Today was the family shower. What fun! Megan's sister Gena gave the shower (she is pregnant also and due in November). I was in charge of punch and I found this really great recipe for a blue rubber duckie punch. Not only cute, but really tasty!! Here's Megan opening a giftie!!

.........say cheese! My two best girls posing for the paparazzi. I am a lucky mom! Myself and my sister-in-law Joanna. I always wanted sisters growing up. Who knew I would end up with two amazing sisters later in life who always are there for me no matter what! Here's Katie with a box of blocks that Matt and her use to play with at Grandma's house. John's mom presented them to me. All the great grand kids have played with them over the years and now it is time for our grand baby to use them. My kids loved these blocks and the box has been all taped up and kept in tack for all these years. It was such a thoughtful gift and OK, yes I got teary eyed over it! Thanks Mom...this meant so much to me!

This is Corey with sweet baby Ava. My son Matt's best friend Matt's wife and baby (we called them the Matt Matt's when they were in high school). Don't you just love those cheeks:-)?!

My last post was the day of late sewing with the Monday gals and our silly lil friend happened to join us. Here's a few of her quilts for show and share.
Love this Ocean Waves quilt .......

and isn't this one just Swell????!!!! The always wonderful pinwheel quilt. I guess the girl never sleeps, but boy does she make beautiful quilts.
And I know you all know the poem "When I Grow Old I Am Going To Wear Purple". Well I have a new one......When I Grow Old I Am Going to Wear Two Different Shoes!!!! Yep, I showed up to sewing wearing two different shoes and of course I had to point it out to everyone! Hey if you can't laugh at yourself......? !!!

So nice to be able to post again and visit around. I have missed what everyone is up to. There is still more secret grandma sewing going on, but I should be finished up this week. And did I tell you that grand baby boy is going to be named Luke? Love the name and we are all so excited about meeting him in person. Luke, you have lots of people waiting to give you hugs and kisses. Hope every ones week gets off to a great start. See you later alligators!
