Nana's Ninas Service Project







We are heavily weighted with boys in our family--both sons and grandsons. So we have created a little "club" called Nana's Ninas just for the granddaughters. We have sleepovers, make cookies, watch movies, and I've been working to teach the older girls how to sew. Here is the quilt we made to give to a local Hospice Group. The girls enjoyed making it (and they did almost every bit of the sewing). They understand that important life lesson that "serving others makes you feel good and forget your own problems." I hope we will do many more projects together and that this is something they will remember the rest of their lives--the service, the good feeling and the being with their Nana!!

Royal Baby Bedding


I call this the Royal Baby Bedding --because, well, it just looks "royal" to me. It was more involved than a lot of the other bedding jobs I have done, but the new mommy was very creative with her fabric choices. I think she did a great job, and I think we made a good team. I'm always happy when my clients are happy. A quote from her thank you note read: "Thanks for your hard work on the baby bedding. I LOVE it! You did such a good job. The time, attention, and care you put into it is clear." As I said, I'm always happy if mommy is happy.
