ruffles and alien green

I have been having so much fun sewing

up an outfit for my grandaughter Olivia.

I had found the cutest fabric at Joanns,

so summery with watermelon and cherries,

a pretty blue, fell in love when I saw it.

Knew it was perfect for Olivia.

So here it is, ruffles ruffles and more

ruffles. I love the double ruffles on the pants.

I'm just hoping they fit. I had her measurements

but...well...sometimes I end up a little off with

them! ha!

Don't ya love the color?

I have got a thing for fabric with cherries on it

now. I got another piece thats a soft yellow

with cherries and a piece of Mary Engelbreit

with all her fun little things on it plus cherries.

Dont know what I'm making with the fabric

yet, but then alllll the fabric I have is

in the waiting stage.

And the alien green. Well. I'm finally back on

the road. I have not really driven since Dec. '06.

Why, well between Dec. '06 and Sept. 07 I had

5 spinal surgeries. Now I'm healed, steady, pain

more or less under control and ready to venture

out on my own. As our other two cars are both

stick shifts, I really could not drive them. My

right side is a bit weak and gets very painful

very easily. So I needed a manual. And Bob

got me one! yippeeeee......Don't ya love it!

Its alien green which I think is funny as

all get out. And its not low, has a high

door frame so I don't whack my head..

I'm in love....and I'm back on the road...

yippee yippee yippee and howdy do!

I'm thankful Bob got me my Soul!

I'm thankful I am doing so much better.

I'm thankful my son David and his family are visiting next weekend.

I'm thankful I finally get to meet my new step grandson

I'm thankful David has such a wonderful little family now
