Loving America, even though it is currently in turmoil..I put together this flag top today.
This is my first time using pre-made iron on squares...It came out a bit funky. I like it anyway.

A horrid day till now....I was so distraught that I almost invited Pearl in for a glass of red wine...OMG OMG'
But, then, my darlings came to visit...My heart, my hugs, my joy...Evan is 20, Lynsey is 16 and Dylan is 15.
Of course we needed a selfie!!!
The best time ever...They helped old grandma...all voluntary...all splendid..
Lynsey not only emptied the dishwasher, but cleaned out the fridge and organized the counter...That girl has so many organizational skills...
The boys: Evan hammered some nails into the table to hang a bag.
Dylan had connived an agreement with me...If he made me bobbins, would I buy him an apparatus for his computer...Of course, Dear Old Grandma, never looked at the price...ha!! But, I love him so. He made 40 bobbins for me...Here he is sewing away. I ordered his computer gadgets. I am so happy and so grateful. It was like old home week. The best thing I did in my entire life was to raise these kids. I love them so much.
Now, out of Portland: Potatoes from their garden:
Aoife painted a picture of her new favorite chicken....Painting while her parents finish building the chicken coop.
And, here in Charlotte, Anne showing us her hand stitched Boro boxes. We are going to do a class together on this in the fall.
Happy Birthday Anne!!!!!!!
At the end of the day....all is just spendid...Nothing like a little loving from ones you care about...
Note to self, always remember that every cloud eventually passes and the sun comes out.
