NEW HOBBIES Continued

My latest project for my daughter Jessica. She had a kitchen set she didn't like - so I offered to change it for her. We found fabric she loved; I recovered and painted and here is the result. The chairs took a couple of trips back and forth from her house to mine and back again. I did the table at her house. Let this be a lesson, nothing ventured nothing gained. It was a rewarding project for this first timer.

NEW HOBBIES

There are so many things that I love to do; working with my hands and having friends over and giving parties to name a few. I was excited for these last two parties for people I dearly love.

Natalie wanted new window treatments in her kitchen. She is pretty non-traditional and envisioned something unique. We went shopping and found the fabric and I got to work putting together her ideas. A few trips for the right hardware and the right look and we came up with these fun coverings. And yes the Roman Shades over the sink really work. We had a great time figuring things out and I decided I like this new hobby. Next we tackle her family room, living room, and the bedrooms upstairs. She better start thinking about what she wants. Maybe I can do a little pre-work before my next visit to Utah in November when Ashley's baby comes.

COLE STEVEN WIRIG - Newest Grandson

He is as good as gold and just so beautiful. He was a bit smaller than his older brother Grant but is already catching up. He gained a whole pound in just 12 days. Mark flew out to Utah for 2 days just to meet his newest grandson. We love these grandbabies. Ashley has her baby girl in November so we will have 11 grandchildren soon. What blessings they are.
