SUNRISE, SUNSET, et al

 

"Sunrise, Sunset" is all quilted and 
trimmed up for binding...
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜„
I am happy that I inserted that funny
animal fabric in the center back;)))

And
the binding is all ready to be
sewn on...
along with my little label 
which will get sewn into
the binding edge as I go...

*********************************
Everyone came at the same time for
Thanksgiving on Thursday last...
We all had a lovely time of it with
so much chitter-chattering and
catching-up going on:

[the following info is so that I can
keep track of everyone's life 
these days;)))]
↧↧↧↧↧↧
My daughter Candice's four are all on the move: 

My grandson, Greg, who just graduated
this past Spring from Eastern has found a permanent
"substitute teaching" job for this year and
says he is loving it...;))))

Connor, his twin brother, is finishing up 
a few more classes  at UCONN
and will graduate this
January...

Cassidy was not with us as she is
working and now living in
Jersey City with a good friend,,,

And Steven has re-located closer
into Boston proper in a new
apartment...within walking
distance  to his actuarial job.
[those are my
daughter's four...]
*****************************
My son, Jeff's, two girls are busy busy
in musical productions and 
soccer games...
The eldest, Fiona, is besotted with
acting in musicals, she will
move on to high school next Fall
[hard to believe for me!!]
and
Willa is working backstage 
doing scenery in the musicals.
Willa is also heavy into sports and
is now playing "indoor soccer".
She is in Middle School..

P H E W ....lives are really
busy these days for
everyone...

Meanwhile, our lives have
slowed down quite a bit--for
which I am really grateful...
I so enjoy the slower pace to
our days...
πŸ‘«

I hope you are enjoying a few quiet days
before the real Christmas rush is upon us.

hugs, Julierose

  6. Great progress on Sunrise, Sunset and a finish soon. It gets harder to get all of the grandchildren to family gatherings as they scatter all over the country.

  8. How lucky you were to have almost all the grands in attendance for Thanksgiving. My grands are all in the Houston, TX area, over 1500 miles away from me in little Avon, NY. You must be so pleased to have Sunrise, Sunset almost finished. What a treasure.
