I just finished reading, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak so I have Nazi Germany on my mind. I can't help thinking that "the little girls" with their frumpy dresses and dirty faces, look like they just crawled out of a bomb shelter.

Good thing Hazel is wearing a sweater because it's only 105 out there.

In a bit of a rebellious mood, he chose to go to work on Casual Friday as Business Friday.

I received an email from Laurie asking me if I could post some of my sketches from here to use as a pattern to embroider quilts. My first thought was, NO WAY. Not because I'm a snob, but because for one reason or another, in my mind I have deemed those sketches not good enough and the thought of them permanently on a quilt makes me cringe. (Now that I read that back I am realizing, oh, it IS that I am a snob.) Then Laurie explained that she makes quilts for Project Linus and I knew I had to post the sketches.
When my third baby was two she was hospitalized. A woman came by and gave her a "Project Linus Blanket." The thoughtful gesture and seeing my baby enjoying her new blanket in the hospital really meant a lot to me.

Now it is my fourth baby's favorite blanket. Notice her loving the fringe.
