Thank You All!!!

Thank you so very much for your outpouring of well-wishes for the brown boy.  Tag may not understand every word of your comments (though he does have a huge vocabulary), but he hears and responds to the emotion in my voice.  I appreciate every single word you took the time to write.

At this point, nothing has changed with Tag...so there is nothing new to report.  I will update as necessary to keep you abreast of this situation.

I started a journal to track this time with Tag.  Just a place to write random thoughts I have each day.  Not sure what I will ever do with it, but...

I also started a one-a-day photo journal.  That is over on Instagram...#TagEButt.

Just ways to help me get through this, I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Needless to say, my focus and concentration are at an all time low. More precisely, I guess, is that I have almost none.  The ability to concentrate on any one thing for more than a millisecond has flown out the window.  But, I tell myself that this is okay...that it is temporary.  The result, though, is that I made some changes to the projects I had lined up.  Some of them are put off and some of them are scrapped altogether.  There are some that will be completed, of course...going along with no sewing would be another kind of ordeal, methinks.  Pillow covers, tissue kleenex cozies, hand sewing...things like that which take little thought will be what will keep my hands busy.

On that note, I have a few things to show...

5x6 inch zippy pouches

kleenex cozies for me to give away

another pillow cover with zipper to match Paul and Rachel's quilt

Donna, from over at Brynwood Needleworks organized a charitable project to create and donate dresses to Dress A Girl Around the World .  Here are the two I made...

They are both size 1/2 and were very simple to make.  I had planned to make more, but these two are all I am doing for now.  

I think that's all I have for this morning.  Hope this day is good for you.

Impossible...

How can it be?  To go from this...

 to this, 10 years later...

in the blink of an eye.  

As usual, we had a grand time together.  Ate and watched movies and played with Tag and ate and danced and blew bubbles and drew pictures and followed each other on Instagram and talked.  And, ate.  And, talked.  Here are some photos...

And, opened presents.

two pillowcases and a nightgown

Did I mention that we ate?  Holy Schmoly...that girl is a good eater...will eat anything I fix for her...eats more than I do, for sure!  ~grin~

And, she modeled her nightgown...

Precious Princess Kaylynn.  I love her more.
