Halloween and Turning 12

Posted By on October 14, 2011

I am so excited – I  FOUND THE HAND QUILTED HALLOWEEN QUILT that I made ….. AND LOST!  I had packed it with the 5 boxes of Halloween decorations last year!  WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED!

The quilt is a PUMPKINS GONE WILD panel by Moda and I love it.  I thought a panel would be a good thing to practice hand quilting on!

 

Hand Quilted Halloween

I love decorating for Holidays….it just makes me SOOOOOO HAPPY!  See that little white pear on the table…..I made that *with Catherine’s expert instruction* while on retreat in Williamsburg last month.

It's beginning to look a lot like FALL!

There is ONE MORE HAPPY THING to celebrate today.  Grandangel Sarah is 12.  She was so excited for her birthday that she woke up at 5:40 am instead of her regular 6:00 time!  She came out of her room smiling and said, “GRANDMA, QUICK, LIGHT THE CANDLES!”

The candles are lit!

I always light the birthday year number of candles (this year there are 12) and have them on the breakfast table.  It is so much fun and it gives me an EXCUSE to shop at the Yankee Candle store!

Birthday candle is in the cake!

 

OK – so her morning present is on her chair, the 12 candles are burning and the birthday cake candle is lit…..time for Sarah!

Grandangel Sarah is 12

 

Does this look like a happy face, or that!!!

 

The IPOD Touch is a hit

 

Her DPoppa programmed her IPOD TOUCH so it was ready with ITunes!

Purple Zebra Cover

 

When you have a purple zebra cover on your IPOD Touch, it just HAS to be a good day.  Since I don’t have one (a cover or an IPOD TOUCH) I am just going to have a good day anyway.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY TOO!
