Halloween pictures

This is some of us at work! It was a lot of FUN! I made Sam's Dorthy Costime, and my mom helped me make my dress. (I'm the GOOD Witch!)

A new craft!

Well, I just went christmas and birthday shopping for myself..... I got a Baby lock embroidery/sewing machine. http://www.babylock.com/sewing-embroidery/product.asp?Product_ID=BLR I can pick it up on the 31st. I can't wait to get it! I have a lot of ideas, for gifts and maybe selling some things too. My mom also wants to use it for her business. This is a web site for designs I can upload into my machine, http://www.emblibrary.com/

Here it is, the picture of Kaylynn in her Dorthy costume. (and Toto too)

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch in Michigan today, where Kaylynn got to ride a pony, pick a pumpkin (well two), and eat a doughnut! We also got to see little piglets that were born just a few hours before we got there. It was a lot of fun!

Halloween costume

This is the start of Kaylynn's halloween costume. I found her the red shoes and a ‘Toto’ dog. I can not wait to se it finished, she is going to be so cute!

Found!

Michele and Tim have found a dog sitter, for Rosie. Kelly and Danny from our church. Thanks Kelly and Danny, I know it helps them out a lot.

Please pray for Tim

Please keep my friends step-dad and mom in your prayers. Tim was in an accident Tuesday morning. He is in MCU in the surgery ICU. He will be having surgery on Friday (we think) to set his pelvis which is broken in 4 places. He has multiple injuries but no head injuries thank god! He will be out of work for a long time. Please also keep the rest of her family in your prayers as they will be traveling into town to see Tim. If any one knows of someone who would like to be a foster parent for her parents dog, Rosie, please let me know. Her mom will not be home much with Tim being in the hospital or rehab and will not be able to take care of her. Thank you!

parade

Our church was in a parade on Sat. 9-16-06. Kaylynn, next to daddy and my niece Jordan, would not get into her sheep costume. The parade was well attended, we handed out suckers and had a great time doing it!










This is Preston and Brianna, my nephew and niece, they look so cute in their costumes!

Kaylynn in dacne class

This is Kaylynn in her first dance class. She had a blast, it was so much fun for both of us!

more cards

Here are some more cards, I have made in the past.

stampin up cards

Well it has been awhile..... Here are some of my crafts from the past I didn't post before. I have been "Stampin' up" for about 3 years. Here is just a few of the cards I have made.

A dress for Kaylynn

I just finished this dress for Kaylynn. I am so happy with how well it turned out! It is hard to take a picture of a moving target.

2nd dress

My sisters friend liked the dress, I made Jordan so much she asked me to make one for her three year old daughter.(see 7-7-06) This is the pattern. This is a little trick my mom taught me. I used tissue paper to trace the pattern, that way you can use the other sizes!

storm on 6-21-06

This is a picture of our street on June 21, 2006. In NW Ohio. It looks like a river! The water was about 8-10 inches deep. The picture is a little fuzzy. We were blessed not to have any damage to our property. We did have a 9 foot branch fall off a tree in our back yard, this is a picture of how it fell!

back to the crafts

Yes, I have been creating and crafting in the past month. I was just waiting to put them on my blog, so I could focus it on Gavin. I will keep updating on Gavin.

This is a picture of a dress I made Jordan, when I had her, the night Gavin was born. We went to Wal-Mart and she picked the pattern and fabric. I made the shrug reversible.

Last week I was introduced to jewelry making, by my bosses wife, Marcia. And you know I loved it. I went to Hobby Lobby and got everything I needed to make tons of things. Here are some pictures of some of them, just some.

I helped Kaylynn make her two bracelets, she put most of the beads on the big one, and she put the butterflies on the small one. She loved it. I love it because I think she is going to be crafty like me. : )

july update on Gavin

Sorry for not updating sooner and more often. Time just got away from me. Gavin is up to 4 pounds and 13.75 ounces. He will not need any heart surgery, the hole in his heart has closed and they are calling it a heart murmur. He is having therapy for his spine and they think that will be successful. In the past week he has had his throat looked at, and everything looks good. He also had his hearing tested. He passed on the right ear, but failed on the left ear. The doctors said it is common for preemies to fail the hearing tests until they get older. They are predicting he will be in the hospital one more month. He has to learn to drink from the bottle before he goes home. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you.

This is Mommy, Gavin and Great Grandma Degrie

Happy Birthday Shanelle!

Gavin updates

I just heard that Gavin is doing GREAT! The hole in his heart is closing on its own. They think he WILL NOT need the heart surgery. They also took him off of the I.V. to see how well he does without it. They took the feeding tube out, and they are feeding him by bottle. He maybe going home in 2-3 weeks. Please keep praying for Gavin and his family. Thank you.

Update on Gavin

I just heard from Shanelle that Gavin is doing good. His weight got down to 3 lbs 6 oz. a few days ago, but now he is up to 3 lbs 8 oz. They are going to take him to Ann Arbor, MI for his heart sugary, when he gets to 5 lbs. I will have more pictures and updates soon. Please keep praying for Gavin and his family. Thank you.

Baby Gavin is 8 days old today. He is looking great and doing very well. He is up to 3lbs and 11 oz. He is holding his body temperature, and they put him in a crib. I will have more updates and pictures tomorrow.
