OLD FAMILY PHOTOS

Can't believe more than two weeks have gone by. No sewing pics this time, just some old ones of the family. The guess who above is this lovely lady when she was only three. This was taken in the Azores. The newer one was taken in Houston for her website www.robynjoneshomes.com. Yep, I'm a proud mommy.
Here's a picture of my older daughter and me in 1961 sitting on our front porch in Big Spring, TX. Bob was in pilot training at Webb AFB. Deb was born there, so she's a Texan, well, sort of!
The next picture is of Bob and Deb in Texas. Wow - Bob and I were really young - 21 and 22! Funny, I thought we were so old!
It's hard to believe that on June 7th of this year, Bob and I will be married for 50 years!
Don't you love the "pompadour" hair do that Bob's mom gave him? She did not want to cut his hair! I think he was really cute when he was little (and old!).
That's it for the old photos for today. Have to go back to "work" - I have to get the tax info done so I can file on time for the first time in years and years. Hopefully we won't have to pay anything. Could use that stimulus check - we get one this year, don't we?
Back to serious things now.

The Tiny Stitches Baby Quilt Is Finally Finished!

I think the quilt is amazing! Hopefully I'll know by Monday how much we made on the raffle. Everyone loved the finished quilt. The gals who did the quilting and binding did a fantastic job. I'm so happy with it.
Hopefully later today I will feel good enough to sew again. My head is swirling with all kinds of ideas. I've been using my machine embroidery software to come up with new designs. Now I'm ready to implement them.
My sewing room/office is a totally train wreck. I've worked on cleaning it a little each day this week, but at the rate I'm going, it may take me another five years! I just can't seem to get organized. It's overwhelming me.
Bob is playing in a golf tournament with his golfing buddy today. He left early and went to Waffle House for breakfast before he got to the golf course. Hoping he does well today. As long as he plays well, he'll enjoy himself and won't get frustrated.
I'm finally feeling human. No pneumonia, thank goodness, just the usual asthma, etc.

We Finally Got Snow!!!!

We're having a snowy afternoon along with some wind and occasional snowthunder! It's definitely a hot chocolate day!
My grandson got home from a weekend trip to the mountains. Can't believe that he left his jacket in his backpack, which he left in someone's car. Guess that's typical for 13 year olds. He's home now and went straight to his computer.
Debby is making homemade rolls for dinner tonight. They're for the burgers she's making for dinner. Her rolls are light and absolutely delicious. Promises to be a great dinner.
Still haven't done any sewing. Just haven't felt like it. I'm definitely going to do some next week. I'm way, way behind on my projects.
I finally downloaded the photos of the Tiny Stitches quilt top that will be raffled off this week at the quilt show. I think it turned out to be adorable! Our meeting is tomorrow, so I get to see the finished project. It should look really good.
I've got several baby quilts to make for gifts. I have to finished Robyn's Pashmina wraps. I'm embroidering several and have started only one. I also have a rag quilt to finish for Ian. I'm terrible - I have been working on it for several years!
Just looked out the window and the snow is falling fast and heavy with huge flakes. Hope it's okay tomorrow. If the roads are bad and Tiny Stitches is still meeting, Bob will take me. I no longer drive in snow or ice. I don't mind being chauffeured!
