A new bag from Dakota Maid...

It is large enough to hold a sweater project.

I used a piece of faded denim to make sure I have to keep it.

I really like the patches I put on it.

Some screen printed stamps and Tim Holtz fabric to line it.

This was a craft project that we did

with the granddaughters over Thanksgiving.

Gnomes...honestly so easy.

Socks, rice, fur and a wood nose.

It was all glued and not much of that.

The girls loved them.

Thanksgiving 2019 is now in the history book

and we can officially begin thinking about Christmas.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our son's home.

It was go go go and today grandpa and I are recuperating.

There may be a big pot of turkey noodle soup involved.

This little family of mice went to our four granddaughters.

Just four girl cousins hanging out discussing what color of balloon they want.

A Christmas mouse...

Because I have a love/hate bond with tiny projects.

I finished up these jumpers for our youngest granddaughters today.

I think they look like something my sister and I may have worn in 1960.

I don't know when they started dressing little girls like teenagers

but it's not a look this old fashioned grandma likes.

They don't have a Disney princess on the front

so they may go straight to the back of the closet.

And if they do wear them I'll snap a picture to show here...again.

August, 1910

Arrived home - safe and in one piece.

Am having a fine time.

Tell Henrietta to write or I'll be sore at her.
