Here is a pic of a trinket box i did up for my DH to replace the one that we had stolen ,still not sure why they would take something like this as there was no value to it .Anyway I was given a bunch of greenware and some bisque from my DGF's husband after she passed away and this was one of the pieces .

Here is a pic of the blanket that I did up for our youngest son's girlfriend for christmas .This is one of those tie blankets where you take two blankets and cut all around the outside and then tie all the strips together . I have to say all the work was worth it when we saw how much she liked it :o)

I have kept my identity a secret all these years chatting with all my friends because to be totally honest I am ashamed at how i have gone over the years (but trying to change that even at this old age ) .As I could not say no to pics being taken at our DD's wedding they are now being seen quite a bit so for those of my friends who are not on Facebook here I am with our DGD Cheyenne and she does look every bit the princess that she is :o).I have another princess DGD but she was not there that day as her daddy was busy and wouldn't have been able to keep track of her .The head and eyes of the one little boy you see are of Nathan the son our our oldest son's girlfriend and that wee bit of blonde you see are of our grandson Austyn
