Pre-k Graduation in NY

While we were in NY, we got to attend our granddaughter's graduation from Pre-K. I was amazed to see the little tikes in real caps and gowns!

They were given their diplomas on the stage and celebrated afterward with ice cream. Then we went to Michaels in Watertown for a delicious dinner. 

Just a few more trip photos to go. Meanwhile, we are busy here at home. I am working on three quilts - two are art quilts and one is a baby quilt. I'm excited about them all and will share photos of two of them very soon. The third is for a juried show, so I can't talk about it yet. 

 

More photos from NY trip

We got to meet Beau the cat for the first time. He sure is handsome. Notice he is posing with Green and Pink and, of course Sammy. 

We went to see an Impressionist exhibit at the Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute in Utica. Sammy is playing with an interactive color play gadget. 

It was getting close to July 4, so they put up bunting on the balcony of our hotel. 

Another day, we went to the zoo in Utica. 

My son got married!

News flash! My son Warren and his girlfriend, Cia, ran off to Palm Springs and got hitched! Sure, of course I wish we could have been there, but we couldn't be more happy for them. Yay!

Affinity Special Exhibit

I am happy to say that my quilt, "Spring Comes Late," got accepted into the Affinity  special exhibit curated by Dinner at Eight Artists. Yippee! So it will be shown at International Quilt Festival in Houston in October. Quilt and detail photos below. 

A visit to NY, June 2015

I have taken so many photos of our visit to NY, that I don't know where to start. So bear with me while I post the best ones. 

Sammy just turned five, so she opened some gifts while we were there. 

Holding the kitty I just made her. 

Wearing the dress I made her. Oliver and S, Croquet Dress size 5. 

Green and Pink are instant best friends.  

Tour of Pittsburgh

We spent a couple nights in Pittsburgh recently. Here are some random photos. 

It started pouring just after our arrival. We had sun and showers throughout our stay. 

This strange cluster of buildings was built by a plate glass company. 

We saw some killer views of the city from Mount Washington. More like a hill from where I come from, lol. But the views were wonderful. 

Here in Pittsburgh is the confluence of three rivers: the Allegheny, Nangahila (I know I spelled that wrong) and the Ohio. 

We took a funicular ride at the Duquesne Slide (pronounced ducane) with Tom and Nancy, friends we hadn't seen in ages.

My first attempt at a pano photo on iPhone turned out a little screwy! It added a curve in the road that wasn't there. 

A goofy infrared image of us taken at the Carnegie Science Center!

We enjoyed our stay in Pittsburgh - the food was fab - but had to leave in a hurry because the Rolling Stones were about to take over the city!
