Jesus Teaches a Samaritan Woman

My Little Green Bag

My daughter in law was able to buy several of the little green bags at an incredible price. She gave us each one and said we needed to turn them into some kind of a kit. This project needed to be finished by the end of January. Well January’s end is coming soon and I need to get busy!



This is my Flower Fairy Kit! I have several Flower Fairy books. My grandkiddies love Flower Fairies. I also added a small kit of how to make Flower Fairies.

This one is Gran’ma’s craft kit. It started out a crown making kit. It has glitter felt, glitter, fabric and craft glue, Velcro, elastic, jewels, and very stiff Pellon. Then I found some Playdoh and some colored pencils.



The last kit is Gran’ma’s babysitting kit B. It has some soft farm animals, books with puzzles, board books, a Curious George puzzle, and a My Granny’s Purse.



I also want to make a picnic kit but it's not a good time to go looking for picnic plates, cups, and flatware. I'll have to wait until spring to buy those things.

My Latest Project

I don't like putting things like this off this late. The rush leaves things open for some rather BIG mistakes. On a good day a project like this leaves itself open for all kinds of slip-ups. The overs and unders of a Celtic applique can really play games with your mind. The more complicated the pattern the more possibilities there are for errors. I’m always unpicking something to open up a spot for the bias tape to go over or under. Sometimes I can’t even figure out where I went wrong.

But this time... it all worked out!

Those Who Can Teach

Yes I'm a teacher! I have been teaching for almost 25 years. My parents were teachers. Many of my brothers and sisters are or have been teachers. My great grandmother’s brother's name is on the education building and the U of U. Teaching has been in my family's blood since my Welsh great great grandfather named one of his sons Milton, after the British poet, because he wanted an educated person in the family.

Somebody Deserted Her Baby

Sunday somebody came to my house for dinner and deserted her baby. Grapaw found the abandoned baby hiding in the basement. So far somebody has not claimed her baby. Grapaw is holding the said baby hostage. I think he wants hugs and kisses for the baby monkey.




Kamora is the somebody to abandoned her baby monkey. She was so happy to find him.




She like to play Peek a Boo with her baby.








She likes to read books to her baby monkey.

Up Date on the House that Jack has been Adding Onto

I'm going to have to go back and round up all the pictures of "Jack's" house. My son took a 900 square foot bungalow and has added 3,600 square feet! He now has room for his growing family and a room for a pre-school in the basement of the addition for his wife.




This is "Jack", in the corner, and his father in law.

Jacob's Birthday Quilt

1. Cut 7" denim and flannel squares.
2. Sew the squares together with an X going from corner to corner.
3. Sew the squares together (flannel sides together) in long strips length wise.
4. Sew the strips together by staggering the seams.
5. Clip the raw seams. I suggest you do that regularly or you’ll have a real mess on your hands
6. Bind off with a flannel.
7. After the quilt is bound take it to the local Laundromat and wash it. This will fray the edges. Don’t put you washing machine through that kind of an ordeal. Then run it though the dryer.

*I probably won't be making a quilt of this size again. My hands still hurt and you need scissors with very sharp tips.
