I am a Grandma

This is my Granddaughter, she arrived Jan 22nd.    She is just as sweet as can be.  We enjoyed holding, hugging and kissing her. Very proud 1st time grandparents.  I am sure it won't be long and I will need another Olivia fix. Those friends of mine that have grandchildren always told me that there is nothing better than a grandchild and I must say they were totally right. 

Goals for 2011

It is hard to believe that another year has passed us by.  And already it is the 15th of January.  Like last year I thought I would write my goals for 2011 and check off some of those achieved in 2010.

I did many more quilts that were for me.  I feel good about how many I got done.
2011--I would like to get all the quilt tops in the "unfinished" drawer, these are quilts that are pieced but un-quilted so far, DONE.  I did get 5 very small ones done and gave as gifts,  it is not that I want any of these quilts but they are taking up space and I do love giving the quilts I do not want away.
2011-- I did a llama quilt and I believe he is one of my very favorite,  I love how he finished up.  I would like to do that with a raven this year!
2011--My brothers dragon quilt... I am pretty happy about this one,  I have the dragon part finished,  I plan to make this quilt fit a king bed so have many more borders, and if I do not like the added borders, I will finish up the dragon quilt and make a whole cloth quilt for under it.  I  do want it so they can put it on the bed.  This has been on that "goal" list for several years, so getting this far is huge for me. I plan to have it done and hanging in YQF this year.
2011-- The potrait quilt!  I believe this is like fear factor!  I can do this, it is just scary to think of getting it done and it not looking like Willie and Jessi.
2011--Last year was wonderful for me and my family. We truly are blessed with abundance!  If 2011 is half what 2010 was I will still be blessed with abundance.  I believe it already is bettter by the fact that our 1st Grandone will be here in just a few short days!   Blessings! Praise the lord for all those!
