another project and an announcement

I don't think I have told you all that we will have a granddaughter in June!
This picture is our daughter Nina, taking a picture in their baby's nursery. Nina and John are expecting Elizabeth, their first baby in just a few months.
I think the nursery is about ready, I am going over there later to wait for a repairman and will take some more pictures of the nursery to show.
Yes, the walls are blue and the baby is a girl - John is a football coach and did not want things too girly - he may be in for some surprises down the road - but he is a good guy and I am sure he will be a great dad, even if Elizabeth is as girly a girl as her momma.




I found this old maternity top pattern at a thrift store for a dime and made Nina one top from it from a cute black and white print. Sorry, no picture though.
She liked it and picked out 4 more pieces of fabric from the sewing room.

I finished them up today and think they turned out pretty good. Nina is on the tall side so I added a couple of inches to length of all of them.

Sepia Saturday - one day late

These are pictures of my dad, he mostly grew up in Garber, Oklahoma. Dad is the
3rd boy in this picture, sadly, he says his other 3 buddies have all passed away.

He spent lots of time swimming at the Garber pool.

This is his high school football team, Dad is holding the football on the front row.
Garber has always called itself "Home of Champions" and it is still true, Garber won the class B state football championship in December and last night they won the basketball championship.

Sepia Saturday was yesterday but I am a day late as I came down with a terrible stomach bug/food poisoning or something. And I am very thankful to be better now!
