Blessing Dress Completed!

John blessed our newest granddaughter in church on Sunday.  My daughter asked if I would make a dress for the occasion, so I spent last week behind my sewing machine, stitching and (let's be honest) ripping out stitches.  Once I managed to get both sleeves sewn on right-side-out, I was pretty happy with the results.

    I can't imagine someone asking me to make a dress and being able to say "Sure!" That is one skill I wish I had.
    Your granddaughter's dress is so pretty. You did very well.

This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
