I like the sound of the pig block. I bet it is really cute .... can see it now "The Pig and the Tea".

Iowa is only an hour behind here, but gosh I am tuckered out! How are you holding up after the earthquake?

Kadie, enjoy the wonderful day!

Hey, Kadie- I meant to say something earlier about your "Pavlova" dessert. When my family hosted an exchange student from Austalia, that is what she prepared for us one evening. YUM!!!!
We have hosted 8 foreign exchange students! Now that our own kids are no longer in the house (yep- it's an empty nest); we no longer host exchange students. I don't think it is fair to the student to host them if you don't have kids around anymore. After all, what young teenager wants to hang out with a couple of "seasoned" citizens??!!!! LOL

My Girl Scout Sue, made into a pillow, paired with the frame my D made went for..................drum roll.............

my friend who finished it into a pillow did take photos. By the time I saw it again she already had it wrapped up in a basket

Australia... how cool. I've never been out of the U.S. yet....

Had to turn off the iron. I am so tired of looking at that fabric, think I'll have nightmares about it!!!
