So I was working diligently on Papillon Castles in the Air and I ended up frogging the same part 3 times so I put it away for a while. It was driving me nuts!
I have also been working on "Quaker Sampler" by The Workbasket and that's coming along nicely. I have a picture of where i was in Feb and where I am now.
I participated in a couple of exchanges in the last couple of months. There was the St Patty's Exchange on the ILCS Yahoo group. And this is what I received from Georgena.
I also participated in the Pin Pillow Exchange that BeckySC hosted on her blog. I sent to Francois and this was my first attempt at a Pin Pillow and I failed miserably with the first one I made, so had to quickly stitch a 2nd one and came up with this. I definitely need to work on my finishing techniques!
This is the pin pillow I received from Sadie. She did beautiful work!
So, there's been a lot going on in the last 6 weeks. My niece was dedicated at church, my other niece had her family birthday party, my oldest son turned 12, Easter came and went, and my granddaughter was baptized.
My son Devan, turned 12 on March 27. Hubby and I took our 3 boys and our nephew Silas to the local bowling alley for some fun and then the family came over for cake, presents and ice cream after. Here is Dev, Caelan & Si at the bowling alley. And here is is with his cake at home.
Here is our beautiful Emma Ann all dressed up for Easter in her dress that Great-Grandma Beckie made for her.
On April 11, she was baptized at the church her Daddy & Grandparents Wolf attend. My daughter was dedicated as a baby in the Nazarene church, as we believe baptism should be understood by the child when it is performed, but obviously, this was my daughter & her fiancee's choice. Emma wore a dress that was worn by 3 other generations including myself. My Mom gently washed it, tacked a few places & you'd never have guessed it's over 80 years old! This is DH & I with Emma after the baptism. And here is Emma, Mommy, Daddy & Father. And here I will end, and start a different post with my WIP.
