Grandmothers, Victorian Style
I have been spending more time looking through old pics as I have acquired some from my dad when he moved out of his home. This one is of my Grandmother Pauline. Probably taken around the turn of the century. I assume that this is a confirmation picture as she was Lutheran. I plan to use this photo in a new Round Robin block I will be starting in August... It has a Victorian theme! Perfect!. I am trying to decide which colors to use with it. I am thinking whites/off whites and pastel colors...
These pictures are from the other side of the family. My mom's mother, Estella. I did not know they took photos like this in a row. (kind of like from our present day photo booth). I need to try to find a way to make the one in the hat less blurry. Boy would I love to know what colors were in that hat. Eventually I would also like to make quilt blocks using these pics....Unfortunately my grandmother died long before I was born.
Lastly, another strip, this one of my grandmother's sister; Ruth. I have fond memories of going to her farm in Walkerton, Indiana... She had no indoor toilet even in the late 60's.. She had a beautiful wood commode in her bedroom. Wish I had a picture of it... She taught me how to crochet and I had my first taste of alcohol at an early age, with her homemade dandelion wine!

4th of July 2012
So what are your plans for the 4th.? We both have off work today. Fuzzy is busy washing his car. We went this morning to get All-You-Can-Eat ppancakes at Bob Evans, then to Salvation Army for a 1/2 price sale. After a nap and hot dog dinner, we will do some things around the house and head out tonight for the fireworks!

Happy Birthday to ME!
I had a great birthday. I took the whole day off work, I drove to Lansing and Mason, Michigan and stopped at some quilt and needlework shops. At the end of the day, my husband met me for dinner after he got off work. I had coconut shrimp and steak!

Fuzzy and I were up unusually early today. We went to nearby Dollar General to pick up 2 for $1 Hot Wheel cars. Fuzzy has to work, so we will celebrate Thanksgiving on Saturday... Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!
