Just Too Busy!!

Is everyone as busy as me? I just don't have enough hours in the day to finish what I need to get done. I am having a cookie exchange next Wednesday. I have to bake 8 dozen cookies that look like they took forever to make, and enough house work to last until x-mas. I probably won't get any sleep for the next week. I need a maid...

This past Tuesday, Joe and I drove to Milwaukee to babysit Little Joseph!!! Yeah!! Traffic was horrible, but is managed knowing we would soon be holding this little bundle of joy. Joseph is the perfect baby... Eats well and sleeps alot. I could hold him all day...I probably would if he was my son.

This past Monday evening was the Opening of my Christmas Tree display called the "Festival of Lights", for the Lansing Historical Society. 45 students from the Memorial Junior High School Choir sang songs while little visitors sat on Santa's lap. There were 22 trees decorated by volunteers, representing 22 different Countries, local clubs and organizations. I have been blessed during my time as Curator of this Museum with lots of help from voluneers! They are the backbone to my success! Thank you to all of you!!...You know who you are!! Just too many to list!!

Okay, it is time to clean my house. Pick up clutter and get my act together!!

Talk to you all later!!!!!!

Memory quilt

My recent projects are the construction of memory quilts!  This one was auctioned off last Friday, and was sold to the highest bidder at $265.00 . That made me feel really good! All the proceeds went to St. John's Lutheran School and Church.

I am working on another memory quilt, and it will end up being quite elaborate. It is for the first 5 years life of a little girl named Chloe. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but I will soon!! Sewing is my life!! I sew every day, and I feel lucky to have so many projects!!

Most recent Apron/Table Runner Swap!!

Just look how colorful this package was to open!! This is the beautiful Table Runner that Nadine made for me!! How lucky am I!!! Yeah!!! Godiva Chocolate, a Martha Stewart Magazine, some Popourri, and the runner is reversible!!!

Two very nice Hot pads and a little pouch called a schoop schoop, to hold receipts in my purse. Last but not least, some Hot Cocoa!! Thank you ever so much Nadine!!

Clearing out my blog!!

I tried to adjust the layout of my blog site and messed it all up. I have cleared all post before September 2011 so I can start over. I will get the hang of blogging eventually.

Joe and I are heading up to Milwaukee this morning to see our new Grandson, Joseph Amadeo. I was there yesterday, and can't wait to see him again! Yeah!!! He is so tiny...only 18 1/2 inches long.

Tomorrow my husband and I are going up to Milwaukee again so he can see this very cute baby that has been given his name...Joseph Amadeo Saia...Nice solid Italian name.
