Sunday's Kool Aid Surprise

 I Am Woman

The girl just home from her mother's house where they experimented with Kool Aid!!

If I had known, I would have sent over my rope bowl rope for experimentation.

She said, Grandma....Do you like it???

I said....I love color, I love funky, most of all I love you!!!!

Above is the mug rug Lynsey made for her counselor.

I suggested she make changes.  She looked at me and said that she prefers making things her own way!!

OK then....Go, my girl, go!!  Her idea tonight was to relax before school by playing Canasta...Love...

Stitch is Lynsey's cat.  Might have known...He, too has a mind of his own .

Stitch, about that basket I have provided for you?????

Anyone else here with her own mind???

Grandma O'Quilts was impatient without help tonight.

So, she took her trusty flowered woman's hammer and a few big nails..

Wham...My new little design wall is now ready for pictures, cards, etc.

A lovely day.

For Bea and Me

I am Woman, Hear me Roar...

Bea  and I are going to survive....We are going to thrive...We are going to do the right thing..

Bea and me...
After her comment on my blog, I said...Get with it girl...
You will role model for these  kids.. that we just keep on going.

So, like anyone would,  I made potholders.
Potholders instead of UFOs...
Potholders instead of WIPs..
Potholders instead of whining...
Cuz I felt like it.

I found a little bag of scraps from Cotton and Steel...
I liked that first line so much that I saved every itsy bit.
How handy...potholder tops made here in 10 min.  Sooo fun!!

Tomorrow a school day..TBTG....Up at 6:30...the routine...off they go.
I was going to do paper plates on Thursday.
But, now...NO...I will carry on with the routine of using
Christmas china..as we always do...for the kids .

My brother is coming with his wife and their 17 cats in their van.
More excitement.
Chin up...and celebrate Thanksgiving..
Because we are Thankful.
DIL gave her first speech ever at her Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
She called with the news that she did a great job.
So thankful and so proud.
Good night.
