Continue reading →: Memory quilt – part 5I had another half day with Ella yesterday but I forgot to take any photos. We finished the neck embroidery on her sweatshirts, made a small cube pillow for a dog toy and made cookies for her to take home to her family. The cube was interesting because, as you…

Continue reading →: Christmas craft dayElla and I had a great day yesterday! It’s so much fun to spend time with her. She wanted to make matching sweatshirts for her and her cousin. Both shirts have the cross on the back and hearts on the front. We used the Cricut to cut the cross template…

But I have a group of girlfriends that have been getting together monthly for over 10 years, maybe 15, and I love exchanging gifts with them. One of the group, Kim, makes homemade peanut…
