12 by 12's

Here is the wall of 12 by 12's at Joanell's exhibit at the Unitarian Church in Long Beach. I hear they are coming down in a few days.  Can you see mine? It was nice of her to include us in her exhibit. 

Joanell's exhibit

I am so behind in posting. Here are three pieces I whipped out especially for an exhibit that is currently going on in Long Beach. It's a mostly solo show by Joanell Connolly featuring her beautiful work, with an additional "wall" of 12x12 pieces by a few of her art quilt friends. It's at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Long Beach, 5450 E. Atherton St., Long Beach. I don't know how long the exhibit will hang, so see it while you can!

Okay, just a few more photos

I am trying to get caught up with the plethora of photos in my phone. Here are a few of my favorites from a little gathering of local family members and a few old friends...

Sammy and new friend Madeline. 

My brother Bob's family photo bombed by Ava. Cute!

Lily and Warren. 

Sizzix sneak peek

Here is my granddaughter playing with some leftover flowers I cut with Sizzix dies. I am making something for a fun Sizzix blog Hop coming up in early April, so this is just a sneak peek. 

She had so much fun with the flowers. There will be more info soon about the Sizzix blog hop, when you can see what I am making and Sammy's finished project, too!

Visit to the Berry Farm

We went to Knotts Berry Farm one day. That's Sammy on the left. 

Dave and I just stayed until after lunch, and then the girls stayed and went on every ride that Sammy was tall enough to ride!

More photos of visit

Pretty in pigtails!

Swimming lessons at Blue Buoy in Tustin. She made so much progress! Jeremy was a great teacher. 

Catching Up

I am drowning in photos. Nothing else to do but try to catch up. 

My daughter and granddaughter were here for a visit in February.  It was wonderful spending some time with them, and they were glad to escape a bit of the bitter winter weather. Jack was left behind to take care of their farm. 

Anyway, here are a few photos of our time together. 

Sammy had to pose with Green Kitty and Gingie wearing matching dresses.
