Re-Do's

I have 2 wall hangings posted on my website that are listed as classes and as patterns for sale. I suddenly realized that I no longer had the samples, sooooo I thought I'd better get busy and re-do them. The one on the left is Marsh Life and the one on the right is Oasis. It had been quite a while since I made the originals, so I really kind of enjoyed re-doing them. Size is about 24" x 24". I made Marsh Life in a different color palette than the original one and I made Oasis a little bolder than the original and that made the process a little more interesting.

Yesterday, we had a big party to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. She had a blast! She lives in the full-care wing at the Franke Home in Mt. Pleasant and they did everything they could to make it a nice event. The food was so good that people kept asking us who we got to cater it and couldn't believe it when we said Franke did. One thing I want to mention that I thought might be a good gift idea for those of you who are always wondering what to give an elderly person. My sister-in-law got one of those digital picture frames and had her daughter download all kinds of family pictures on to it. My mother-in-law could hardly pull her eyes away from it--she liked it so much. And now it is in her room and she can look at the the ever-changing pictures as much as she wants to--which is good because she was exhausted after the party and just wanted to lay down!
