Facebook

I have to admit that I am kind of hooked on Facebook. It sort of takes me away from the blog scene. I feel a little silly since Facebook seems primarily a teenage phenomenon, but it's amazing how many "older" people are on there! I have a so many college, high school and church friends on there that I haven't seen in eons. Not to mention relatives! And so, alas, I have a feeling that my my blogging days are numbered. But, just so I don't feel too guilty, here are some pictures of some highlights of our month so far....

    What great pictures! I'm a little jealous of the cousin gathering. It looks like it was a lot of fun.

    I hope you don't stop blogging, Wynette. You've gotta have somewhere to use your writing skills!

    Great memories! I loved seeing all the cousins play together. Thanks again for helping get us together.

    You should keep blogging. It's a great way to record all those memories we soon forget. :)

Grandma's Quilt

Image
One Summer I visited my Grandma Lydia Gingerich in Middlebury, IN and I remember her showing me her Friendship Quilt that she had made the year before she was married.  She would have been around 23 when the quilt was made.  I was fascinated by this quilt and all the work that was put into it, but also the memories of the sweet friends and family who so lovingly took time to embroider a square for her quilt.    When my Grandma died last year, I knew that of all of my Grandma's things, I wanted that quilt the most!  It was connected to memories of spending time with my Grandma and the creativity that was passed down from her to all her daughters(five of them!) and granddaughters(all two of us!)  On my last trip I picked up the quilt and brought it home with me...I am so happy to have a piece of my Grandma!  I miss her still!  Enjoy these snapshots of the quilt...(click on the picture to see up close)   I have thought that making a qu...

Valentines and Other Fun Stuff

Image
 It's always fun to make things in the shape of hearts!  Especially for Valentine's Day! The brown icing was specifically made for my hubby, not only to be more masculine, but because it is Peanut Butter Frosting !  He adores Chocolate and Peanut Butter anything!   It's also fun to make things for my new nephew (coming in march)!  I decided to tackle the Faux-Chenille Blanket as seen on my friend Jeni's blog. First I layered 5 pieces of snuggle flannel in a variety of bright colors (imperfectly as you can tell).  The bottom layer has to be 6-10 inches larger than the other layers.  I wanted my finished product to be 36x36, so the bottom layer was 42x42.  Then I pinned it with safety pins, so I wouldn't get continually poked (an idea I got from Jeni), and then I started sewing!  I marked a line diagonally down the center of the back and used that as my guide.  The rest of the seams I did by eye and tried to get them 1/2 inch apar...

Photos and the Pressure to Produce Them

Image
Each summer I try to take a nice picture of the kids, but this year I kept putting it off. I was feeling more and more pressure to get these pictures taken. One day I went to my mother-in-law's house and saw that she had pictures of everyone's kids but mine! I needed to get on the ball! But really! How much of this pressure is really necessary? Will it be the end of the world if my kids don't get a formal picture this summer? I have PLENTY of other shots of them. I like to blame my pressure on all the folks who take gorgeous pictures of their kids all year round, but truthfully I am responsible for putting the pressure on myself. I have come to realize that I am the only one who can keep me from feeling pressure to do anything! And there you have it: My confession of the day...Enjoy the Pictures anyway!
