Pamie G.'s Backyard

I am practicing my knitting on 18″ doll size patterns which gives me a quicker satisfaction. I made this adorable skirt in my hotel room last night. I will have to make some of these for my granddaughters’ dolls.

Happy Pink Saturday — this is for Little Shelby this week, a cute little cotton knitted wash cloth!

I have spent my entire life searching on many beaches all over the world for a “whole” sand dollar and this morning I picked up several pieces with a tiny conch and made my own masterpiece resembling a beautiful Hibiscus. Can you see it? It was right before my eyes, my sanddollar in a flower!

Spending two weeks in Florida sewing and relaxing, how blessed I am!

I made this from a purchased Onesie, an embroidery design I already had and donated gingham fabric for my new great-neice Shelby!! Happy Pink!

I have a cold now too….Husband and wife both sick! It is better when only one is sick! I slept the morning away….

NOT A COLD!! I have a UTI, went to ER, now on antibiotics, thank goodness I went!

At the risk of making yet another blog for birding, I think it best to discuss birds here, lol. Another blogger and fellowette neighbor is on the Audubon Birding Watching Counter committee and I have been reading each day her counts and I quickly run to my feeder to see if I, too have those birds. It was yesterday while I was watching five deer graze in my front that a friendly little puffed out bird showed up right in front of my window. I ran and got my book and it appears a “Junco” came to visit, how lovely!

Don and I both have colds, Don is worse than I but that is okay. The sun is shining!! As soon as I pick up the house a little, I am headed down to the studio to work on some Easter things for my little granddaughters. Hannah helped me pick out designs for all the girls yesterday, she is so sweet and so into the processing of embroidery and sewing. I think this will be a good year to teach her. I will start looking for a little machine for her that is kid friendly and basic just for straight line sewing and easy construction techniques. What do you think about age 6? Have a great day my friends!

Michael, Hannah and Josh surprised me with a beautiful mini rose bush which smells heavenly! We had a wonderful time with the kids and my fabulous husband gave me a beautiful James Avery heart bracelet! Family is so wonderful!

Today will be filled with cooking and visiting Family! I can hardly wait! A Very special Happy Birthday to my MIL — she has had a rough last six months but doing much better, God Bless Her!

30 degrees….I am ready for the warm weather and planting season!

I hope you all have a great day!
