This is one of my most recent projects.

 

Currently I am working on an ABC blanket. I do not have any pictures yet, but I will post them as soon as I get far enough along.

All Moms

As a little girl I always dreamed of being a wife and a mom. Those where my two biggest wishes and dreams. Sometimes it is hard to believe that I am living that dream. I feel greatly blessed to have Patrick and Charles in my life. I remember as a teenager and young adult praying for my future husband and children. God has blessed me more than I deserve. Thank you Patrick for getting up with Charles this morning and letting me sleep late! I also like the flowers you picked out. I love and cherish you both.
I am so thankful for having a loving mom. I know she has sacrificed many sleepless nights, has worried and nursed me from skinned knees and colds, and has listed to my hopes, fears, and dreams. I am so blessed to be able to call her with questions about teething, bumps, and other things about raising Charles. Thanks mama for always being there for me. I love you.
To my loving sister. You are a wonderful mom. I am amazed at how much you do and stay sane doing it. Thanks for answering all my questions and loving me through all the ups and downs. I will never forget the encouraging words while we struggled to have a child up to all the calls, texts, cards, ect after having Charles. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the cards that you asked friends to write after I had Charles to encourage me. I love you big sister.
To my Mother-in-Law: thanks for raising Patrick into the man he is today. I know he would not be who he is without you. Thanks for treating me like a daughter from day one. You are a blessing and an encouragement to me. Thanks so much for all that you do. I love you.
For all of you out there that have lost your mom. I am so sorry. I know today is a hard day for you. I am lifting you up in my thoughts and prayers.
To those that are moms in waiting. Please know I think of you and pray for you daily. May God grant you the desires of your heart.
Happy Mother's Day!

Gatsby

Is it just me or is anybody else excited about the new updated film version of "The Great Gatsby"?  Personally I loved reading the book in my junior English class. I had a wonderful English teacher that just made literature come alive. I doubt she stops by to read this, but thanks Mrs. Carey for sharing your passion and excitement with your students. In honor of the film coming out I am rereading the wonderful book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I will say that I still enjoy the book but it was a lot more fun reading and discussing with a class. If you want a little more information about the book and some help check out the spark-notes, but please READ the book not just the notes! I really want to also check out the older version of the film with Robert Redford and watch that version again before going to see the new version with Leonardo DiCaprio. I would love to compare and contrast all three, and yes I know I am a NERD. I can't wait to see all the costumes and settings in the new film. I just love the clothing of the 1920's and would love to  be able to go back to those days and dress up for a big party.
