Lisa's Bird Block

Here is Lisa's bird theme block. I did the three embroidered birds, spiderweb and handpainted yellow lace flower. Also the flower in the chicakdee's mouth and the seam on the lower right.

Lana's Debut

The daugher of an old friend of Fuzzy's had her musical debut tonight in Lansing. Here is Lana in the midst of a job well done.

Ikea

On our way back from the airport we stopped at the Ikea store. There is only one in the state of MI. If you have never been, it is worth the stop, lots of inspiration. We didn't take a lot of pics, but here are two. Fuzzy in one of the kitchen displays and a view from the cafeteria to the outside of the store. That cool lamp is sold in the store, less than $100.

Veteran's Day 2011

How fitting that my son Thomas, was deployed to Afghanistan on this day. My husband and I drove him to the Detroit airport yesterday for his trip.  He serves in the Airforce and does intelligence briefings for pilots. Thankfully his team will only be there a couple months.  We are proud!

The Perfect Frame

While cleaning my sewing room, I came across this framed piece of quilting. I thought the age of the quilt and the muted colors was perfect for this picture. The frame was an odd shape. So I added the handmade crochet trim to cover the edges of the photo.  I think it looks great... what do you think?

Pictures from the Past

While moving my dad from his house to a nursing home, my sister and I came across some photos from the past. Here are a few that I love.

This is my grandmother and grandfather with my mother

 My mother and father at a shower around their wedding.

 My maternal grandmother as a young adult. I will definitely do a crazy quilt block with this one.
