Bad Mom and Sewing Pictures

Today as I was walking into the house, something caught my eye that made me stop and come back to look a little more closely.
This is one of the girls' little dolls that they like to play with.  When I asked why she was hanging by her feet submerged in the puddle I was told that she was being a "bad mom". 
Should I be nervous about my future nursing home placement?  If I'm ever found hanging by my feet half submerged in a muddy puddle, you'll know who did it and why it was done.  I was a bad mom.  But I think this mom's infractions were more serious than mine - I couldn't get the full picture of her sins as there was too much giggling going on, but it sounded as if she was being equally mean to her children.  For the record, I have never tied my daughters up by their feet and left them half submerged in a muddy puddle.  I felt like I should clear the air on that one.

And on a completely different note, here is a picture of the quilt I am making for Abby.  Ana got to take a sewing class at our local fabric store and she made a quilt all by herself.  Abby was jealous over the idea of Ana getting her own homemade special blanket. So we picked out some fabric together and I decided to try my hand at quilt making.  It's currently in a frame being quilted on as I have time.  I'm pleased by my attempt.
I have pictures of Ana's quilt, but they are not loading up properly, so I will hopefully get them up here in the next week or so.  It turned out really cute.  She is VERY proud of it and loves it dearly. 

I can't remember if I posted a picture of David's finished sewing project or not.  If I have, forgive me and enjoy looking at it again.  He made an organizer that goes over the back of a car seat.  He keeps all his random treasures in it.  It was made with the help of my neighbor Miriam.  David enjoyed the sewing part of it, but is not as in love with sewing as Ana is.
That's all for now.  And by the way, thanks for all the fun comments regarding my last post - either here or on facebook.  :)  They have all made my day.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
