Dining Room Curtains

I am so pleased they turned out so lovely. I wasn't sure if I would really like them but after I was finished with this window I felt like I had make a good choice. I was afraid that the color of my wall  ( Custard) would not blend with the reds and blues in the flowers but they all just make each other pop. I love it, now on to the sink window which I will try to start and finish this week.
Here below is a couple of pictures of my Before and after window and a close up of the fabric.
Comment please, let me know what you think.

The before picture:
              Picture 1:   Just a plain cream valance with a strip of green. My old valance was 14 yrs old.
              Picture 2:   A closeup of the fabric

The after picture:
                I think there is a drastic change.

Today I have decided that I am going to make new curtains for my kitchen. I am trying to make  my mind up on the style as I really like the Tuscan look, but I like a little country look with it. Hopefully I can capture the style.

This is the fabric I will be using, the reds

                                           will brighten the room.

Sunday a Special time with God

This little diddy came to mind when thinking about writing to day I know it's crazy.
It goes like this  Hi ho hi ho, it's off to church we go with a happy heart and a willing mind, hi ho hi ho hi ho.
to day we are starting a new drive for Sunday School and we are going to meet Noah and his family today and learn about the rainbow the one God gave as a promise.  Aren't you glad he is a promise keeper.

Christmas 2011

Our Holiday was a blessed time of family, food and of course unwrapping gifts. As I said in the previous writing My husband and I made most of our gifts. And I really think they were liked. David (my husband) built a laundry cart for our daughter n luv, with a new baby she will need it

 here he is working on it in our Kitchen it was too cold outside. after he finished the main frame I had to make the fabric 3 compartment basket to hang in it. I finally finished the project at 3:30 am Christmas Eve. actually Christmas morning.

 Boxing day, the day after Christmas.

  On Boxing Day we all headed to Great grandpa and   Nana"s  house for Chili and to take Pics of Great Grandpa and Noah on the tractor. Notice their clothing matches

Now if you know me, I like puzzles at Christmas time as a activity as a time filler. Well my sweet heart put on in my stocking it was a 500 piece puzzle, Small right? Yeah, it took Paul, Sherry and Me   2 1/2 days to put it together. Wow you try figuring out which mint went with which ribbon of Twizzlers. Marilyn (Nana) came by for a little while and put a few pieces together with us.  When all was done we found there was only 499 pieces see if you can find the missing piece. We never did.  

 I hope you had as fun holiday as I did.

December 2011

Oh my word what a month. On December 1st at 4:59 in the morning my new grandson was born what a day filled with excitement, new love and seeing your baby become a daddy. I don't think there is much more in life that is so fulfilling.

My heart is full,  I have 3 grandsons Jose L.(14)  Nathaniel D.(2 1/2) and Noah J.(5wks)

December was a busy month getting thing ready for the holidays, I made most of my gifts this year but they became second in importance when Sherry gave us our precious grandson. Though I did get everything done.

There are pics to follow.

Grandkids Precious Gifts

I know in my last post it was mainly about Noah, but I can't and will not forget about my first grandson Nathaniel he is 2yrs 6mths & 18 days. He can be a very precousious child. He is very active into everything and always has his mother Natassja hopping. He can talk very well and picks up new words everyday. some of his new words are Happy Holidays Merry christmas, Hark the Herald and Jingle Bells to mention a few. We try to skype regularly and he is so busy his mommy has to hold the lap top and follow him around the room. Right now his first question when we skype is where's your choo choo.
His mother is trying o potty train him and today he poo'd in the big toilet and then turned and looked at it and told Natassja I pooped a snowman.

Nathaniel and Dad-dad & Grandma

Wow! what a whirlwind

My life has been turned to extreme speed, I don't seem to have a spare moment. trying to keep up with this blog has become impossible as you can tell if you have been checking. It is December 15 today and I don't really know where November went. I think the turkeys took over and blotted it out to save their feathers. This month has so far been awesome on the very first day at 4:59 am my second grandson was born.and for the next 2 days I was at the hospital enjoying him. then I went home with him and his parents " Paul and Sherry" to try and be a help, and of course hold the little bundle.
He is 2 weeks old today and thriving.
