For Auld Lang Syne

In many ways this was a great and wonderful year and in others, not so much.

My daughter, Erin finally got married!
Mimi changed positions at work and is much happier.
All my kids were together for Erin's wedding.
Rebecca moved to Illinois, boo!
I went to Minnesota and met up with Hunie after a 7 year absence and got to meet Amanda and Hannah who are both a hoot and a half.
Anne was diagnosed with cancer, more boo!
Jann and I enjoyed each others company more.


Things were accomplished, things were learned, things were left undone. More shall be revealed.

Happy Upside Down Christmas

...for those that need extra room under the tree, just saying...

Lovelies of Winter - Minnesota Style

Damn the Gods

One of my dearest etherwebs people has been diagnosed with cancer. She's an artist, a style maker and makes me laugh all the time.

I have literally been there and done that. It's no fun and makes me so damn mad when I hear of another diagnosis.

I am going to light a candle and pray. I would jump on a plane tomorrow to go help if she needed me to. I really know what that means.

I love you Anne, prayers for you and yours. Thank the Good Lord we have our faith to sustain us. Now, commence kicking cancer's ass.

Another Missing or Stolen Quilt

This quilt went missing in Houston after Quilt Festival. It was made by my friend Sharon L. Schlotzhauer from the Piecing Partners Quilt Guild here in Colorado Springs. She would love to get it back. If you have any information, please contact me.
