Contrasts...

Just dreaming today...

My flower garden last year~ June 2013...

So pretty...

warm and balmy...

 This is what we have instead...

extremely cold and windy...

Lots of ice and snow...

A blanket of white...

But...

I'm so thankful to have a warm and comfy home,  retired from work,  so I don't have to go out in the cold, and a loving,  happy family to look after me.

Life is good!

'Til next time,  Love ya,  Jean

Happy New Year 2014...

Happy New Year to all!

Getting ready...

I polished my silver...

The tree is not quite done yet...

a few of my favorite things...

Still have a long way to go with the decorating...
And a lot more shopping to do!
Oh, and then there's the baking,  wrapping,  etc...
I'd better get busy!  haha...

Wonderful World of Disney!...

THIS REMINDS ME OF THIS....

The most beautiful thing I have seen in my life...
other than my newborn Daughters and Grandchildren!


Look at this...

and this...

and this...

This...

This...

This...

This...

And this...

Yes sir...  there's no better place to be than at Disney World at Christmas time!!!

Spent 5 days here in November...Loved it,  as usual!  The pictures do not do it justice!  You can't get the feeling from a picture,  it is an experience,  never to be forgotten!

Mini Project...

My latest miniature project....
This is a NAME (National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts) kit called "A Cart for All Reasons".  All members get together and make the same project.  This was the 4th Annual NAME Day.  It is a fun way to share ideas and connect with others that have the same interests.

Christmas ornaments  for sale...

This was a lot of fun to make... the hardest part was deciding what theme to use.
 The red just naturally screamed Christmas to me and so that was it!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been up to.

Baby Quilts...

I made some baby quilts recently.

These are donated to the Brigham & Women's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Boston.  The program is sponsored by the Wayside Sewing Center who provides the materials and makes up kits that are sewn by many women in the community.  Last year we donated over 2000 quilts to this wonderful cause.  The quilts are about 24" square and are given to each infant who spends time in the NICU.  A worthy cause indeed!

I love making these little quilts.  They are so colorful and bring a smile to my face when I am working on them.  

Thanks for taking a look.  'Til next time,  Love ya,  Jean
