I just finished my Gibson Girl barbie dress, really enjoyed crocheting the dress and adding the final touches!  Think I will keep this one for myself!

Proud grandparents!

Sunday May 18, 2014 my husband and I witnessed  one of a grandparents greatest joys!  Our two oldest granddaughters Caitlyn and Isabella were baptized.  It was a wonderful, joyous day!

Crochet Embroidery Doll Dresses

I  crocheted these dresses and put them on the dolls for my grandbabies !  They are all little princesses so I know they will enjoy these princess dolls. My daughter said she would like one too!

Embroidery pillow

 My sweet husband, bought me a new sewing machine with embroidery attachements for Christmas. This is the pillow I made with bible verses downloaded from Sewbirds' Stitches.  I thought it turned out lovely, my mom wants one for Christmas!

My favorite blessings

These are the six beautiful blessings that call me Nana.  It's hard to get them all together but I caught them at a birthday party!

Canning Soup and other goodies

                                       We canned seven quarts of vegetable soup this morning!

                                     We also put three trays of eggplant parmesan in the freezer.

                                     Here is part of the 4 pints of okra we put in the freezer too.

And on top of that we made four loaves of zucchini/nut bread!  God has really been good to us this year, lots of rain and a beautiful garden!

Canning tomatoes!

My husband and I took a weekend mini vacation and I took off today also!  We came home to a lot of wonderful vegetables in the garden.  I actually got to can 9 pints of tomatoes this morning.  God is really blessing us this year!

We use a lot of tomatoes!

My faithful canner!
