And who has made me soooooooo proud today??? Well, we've got a total of 17 Nieces and Nephews and they are each and everyone precious to us ... but today's honors go to Mandy! Our Niece who has always been "so grown up" and who is now exactly that ... "all grown up!" She has just gone and thrilled me to no end by taking up sewing. Her future In-Law's gave her the "gift that keeps on giving" for Christmas ... her very first sewing machine; and would you look at what she's already created!!!
Isn't it adorable! Don'tcha just love the fabrics she choose!
And would you look at her "quilting stitches!" Aren't they absolutely wonderful and so original!
Yep, I'm just so daggoned proud of you Mandy, and to think that someone I love might just love doing what I love doing thrills me to no end, so keep sewing sweetie :) We love you!

Married to my wonderful Husband, Gene, for 35 years with one beautiful Daughter, Michelle Darlene (Micki) in Heaven. Loving her and missing her every day since she left us 3-1/2 years ago. She courageously battled Crohn's Disease for 23 long years and she continues to inspire me each and every day. Gene has been battling severe multi-level spinal stenosis for 5 years now, but he's always in good spirits in spite of it. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer on 7/9/10 and it's been one heck of a ride ever since. We learned that it had spread to my brain in September bringing me to Stage IV; and I had the amazing "Gamma Knife" procedure, along with a surgery to install a shunt in my brain. God is sooooooo good cuz He has surrounded us with an amazing amount of love and support from sooooooo many wonderful folks. We have a little 3 pound munchkin ... a little Yorkie named Dolly Darlene; and she basically rules our little castle. I'm a gal in love with Jesus and quilting is what keeps me sane in this journey that we call "life." It is truly my passion!!!
You have a right to be proud of Mandy. Her quilt is lovely.
