Next I have to share with you this wonderful quilt I bought from my friend Val's Granny. I met Val through a swap and I look forward to her posts on her Granny every week. Granny is 96 years old and she makes a quilt every week. They are machine quilted and get this, she only uses 3 pins at the most to hold the quilt in place while she is quilting it. That amazes me! I am a pin and stitch witchery freak when I machine quilt something. Anyway, I received the quilt from Val on Tuesday and Jace immediately claimed it. He threw the quilt off of him that he had on and said, "Oh, that's for me!". The quilt is going to stay on the couch because everyone wants to use "Granny's Quilt". Ezie wants me to buy one for him and I probably should buy one for myself since Jace has laid claim to this one!
PLEASE excuse my couch!!! The slipcovers are in the wash. 
This is a big quilt too! Thanks so much Val and Granny! I will treasure this quilt forever!!Lexie on her first day of college. Whoo-Hoo!
I'm so proud of my daughter!! She's going to a 2 year program to become a Medical Assistant.The there's Jace. Yesterday he got his backpack ready and Ezie packed him a snack in a old lunch box and he was on his way to the bus stop to go to school. He was so serious and so cute!
He wasn't even upset when he didn't get to get on the bus......because him and his Dad raced back to the house and he came in and opened up his backpack and had his snack.Jace loves this one show, Yo-Gabba-Gabba. I knew when it came on last year that he was going to like it and even though I am used to watching kids shows and don't mind them, this show was one I was hoping he wouldn't like......but, he loves it and I've grown used to it. Click on the link though and check this guy out that hosts the show.
Anyway on Yo-Gabba-Gabba they have a kid show his special talent. The special talent can be anything....like putting a spoon on your nose. Jace has decided that stacking the containers of Play-doh is his special talent. He spends a lot of time rearranging and restacking these containers. Every time he does this we have to clap for him and tell him how great his special talent is. It is pretty special and so is Jace!

Jace is so sweet. Just imagine how happy he will be when it is actually his turn to get on the bus and go to school.LOL Granny's quilt is lovely and so is Melinda's. Sorry I have been MIA but it's nice to be visting again. I finally figured out how to "follow blogs" so I can keep up with my favorites (at least those on blogger).
I loved the crochet cross bookmarks and they would be perfect for my Sit and Stitch holiday swap coming up. Could you reference the pattern?
Thanks!

Sherry, I posted about your gifts last night. I will be going to Grannys this morning to let her pick out which cross she wants. I can't wait until she sees them. She will be thrilled. Thanks again, Val
