I'm Back!!!!!!!

Chicago was awesome!!!  I loved the windy city.  I used to think they called it that because of all the wind....but now I know it is because all the people that live there like to talk.  I enjoyed visiting with all the people there.

We got our kicks on Route 66, went to visit my grandma, went to the farm, went on the Ledge of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears building), took a tour of the city on a double decker bus, stopped at Navy Pier, got some free popcorn from Garrett's, got a free t-shirt at Millinium Park, and took a ton of pictures.  I definately needed that vacation.

You are going to think I'm weird, but I also got a lot of cards made on this trip.  Most people read or sleep while they are on the plane or when they are waiting for their next flight.  Not me.  I brought a pencil box with some scissors, 5x8 paper, glue, and some stickers and worked on assembling the cards.  I actually made 75 cards on the plane and while we were waiting in the terminal.  All the kids were starring at me like I was crazy...it didn't matter, I got it done.  Actually that helped me get a couple of orders.

When I was at my grandma's house I took pictures of the gifts that I had made her over the years that she had on display throughout her house.  I thought I'd share those pictures with all of you.  Enjoy!!!

This is an ostritch egg that I converted into a nativity scene.  I actually forgot that I had made it until I had seen in in my grandma's display cabinent.  I've only made 2 of these eggs.  I gave it to my grandma because I got the inspiration from her.  She used to decorate chicken eggs with Christmas scenes in them and we'd hang them on our tree as Christmas decorations.  She did beautiful work.  I think the other one I made was given to my cousin and it has a nutcracker scene in it....that's another story...I'll tell you later.   I remeber using a dremmel to cut these eggs and thinking "How in the world can an ostritch get out of this egg" because it took me forever to cut it in half.

This is the heritage blanket that I had made for my grandma a few years back.  I had been working on all of her genelogy scrapbooks in 2000.  So I decided to use my computer to make a quilt for her using the same information.   The pictures on this quilt are of her parents (my great grandparents) and all of her brothers and sisters when they were little.  I also used the computer to add on the dates, and names of those in the picture.  This quilt reminds me of a giant scrapbook page of my grandma's family history.  I hope it will be treasured by many generations to came.  Check out the next picture for a better view of all the details.
