THANK YOU BLOGGING FRIENDS

I want to thank all of you for your friendship and friendliness this year.  It has been a tough year for me.  My hubby passed away Thanksgiving 2010.  He had been ill for many years with dementia and other physical problems.  He got to hold his 3 month old grandson for the first & only time that October.  The look and happiness on his face is one memory I'll always remember.  We had been married for 44 years.   Your friendship has been a great help in getting me thru this year.

I'm looking forward to a better year in 2012 with my sons and grands.  They are the light of my life.  I can't wait to start crafting for the new year.  I have lots of new ideas.

My best wishes to all for a very healthy and Happy New Year.

JACK'S PICTURE PILLOW

My granddaughter loved Jack's picture on the pillow.  After hugging it she said "Now I'll always have Jack with me".    It resides on her bed next to her favorite doll.

Christmas was quiet but there's nothing like a 5 yr old at Christmas.  Already have pics of my 18 mo.old GS on Christmas morning.  He looked a little overwhelmed, but quietly went from one item to another.

Have a good week, Ellie

AUSSIE JACK'S PILLOW

Donna of Brynwood Needleworks did a doll pillow of her Corgi Tag for her granddaughter.  I knew mine would love one of my Aussie, Jack.  I finally got a good pic after about 15 tries..  He kept turning his head away.  This was my first try printing on fabric.  I like the way it turned out.

I want to wish all of my blogging friends a Wonderful and Blessed Christmas.

MUG SWAP AND CHRISTMAS IN THE CABIN SWAP

 I received  this wonderful salt glazed mug, hot chocolate & candy cane stirrer, a beautiful handmade wool mug rug from Kendra of The Stone House Primitives.   Also included in the Christmas box were "to die for" handmade turtles.  Thank you Kendra, I enjoyed getting to know you.  Thank you Debbie of Debbie's DoDads for arranging the swap.

My swap partner was Becky of Ginger Creme Hollow.  She made a terrific Santa, Snowman ornie and Gingerboy pillow.  She also sent candle tarts rusty tin bird houses & star poke and wood Angel letters.  The snowman  pocket with greens was part of our ornament swap.  Becky was very generous with her gifts and I enjoyed getting to know her.  Thank you  Amy of Bumble Bee Lane for doing  both swaps.
