Angel progress

Her dress is made from an old cotton slip. I am still going to add some wings and some beading on her gown.

Pay no attention to the mess that is my desk! LOL!

Little Angel I'm working on

Been feeling the sculpting muse lately...

Some Christmas sewing

I am making this for my brother Gil.

He LOVES Christmas and begins decorating BEFORE Thanksgiving.

This is going to be a pillow.

It is rectangular. 

It is from a pattern by Bareroots.

I just love Bareroots patterns, don't you?

Hopefully I will have time to snap a picture when it is done and before I give it to him. He always hosts our family get together on Christmas eve. He is a fabulous cook, and we get fed something wonderful every year.

I tell ya, I am the most spoiled little sister in the WORLD! 

My brother Gil always cooks on Christmas eve, and my brother Edward (thats Fr. Edward to you, cuz he's a priest) always cooks on Thanksgiving and Christmas day.

Can you BELIEVE that? 

I NEVER have to do the cookin'!

BELIEVE ME!

 I am THANKFUL!!!

Home is wherever my family is...

I guess this year with kid #3 off to college, 

and just 1 more chiilun at home to be raised,

has got me feeling all sentimental about my family.

I have spent the last 27 years of my life dedicated to them. 

And as one by one they move off to begin their own lives I feel happy and satisfied that my hubby and I have done a good job with them.

Every one of them is a well rounded interesting person with a good set of values and a love for God.

Each one of them is a light to the world as they move out their to live their faith. It is wonderful to see. 

And no matter where we are, 

when we are together we are "Home"

I'm sure you feel the same about your family!
