I have always made things with my hands to give to others. It made me happy to give and have someone enjoy what I make. My mother is wonderful, I made her clothing out of paper and wanted her to wear it (should have seen it). Being a mother is my greatest calling and I am proud to be at home with my children (I work when they sleep). I went to Jerusalem when I was 16 and wanted something to remind me of it. My sister found a stained glass star to remind me of the Star of Bethlehem. I met a friend, Pat, who taught me how to do stained glass, and have used this medium to express myself and to share my inspiration with others. We can all make a difference to someone!
We went to a party a while back and I need to post these fun pictures somewhere! I love to dress up! Betsy Bulkley is amazing . . .She threw a party with these fun photos . . .
So, I went in on Wed. and the Doc. said we could have the baby. We had strong contractions through out the day. I went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant then took a nap. I went home to clean my house, then time to go to the Hospital! We went in at about 7:15 pm, hung out, then got epidural at 8:3o, then got that baby out at 9:22 pm. It was wonderful. I am so so happy with having a new baby. I love little tiny babies. Ivory Ray Walker was born 5 lb 10 oz, 18 inches long. She has light brown hair. She is a good little eater. We are so excited.
I picked a ottoman up from a garage sale and boy was it ugly! It had a few stains, and looked old. Despite the ugliness of it, we used it all the time to put our feet up, play hide-and-go seek . . . I ripped it apart and boy was it fun. I chose a paisley fabric which worked great. I spent quite a bit of time sewing it together to match up right. In the end it didn't match up perfectly, but it looks good and doesn't matter. In a way it was thrilling to hold the stappel gun and go to town stappeling everywhere. There were a few who helped me with it and I couldn't have done it with out them. Love it!
