Pillow case frenzy!

I finally got the queen size bed in Spencer's room moved down stairs to my craft room. I think I might just leave it there for the guest room. I moved my sewing machine and a couple of tables upstairs in the green room. I had bought material to make 4 sets of pillow cases and 1 single one before Christmas, but had nowhere to sew. So today I sewed up a set and it turned out "sew"
cute! I got the rest of the material ready and will be sewing the rest of them sometime this week. It is nice to have a room to sew in. Love it! I will post pictures of some of the pillow cases when they are done.

My bedroom is all done and I love it too! Soooo nice to be back in my room after being out of it for a month. It was worth it. I love my new carpet. It is thick and luxurious, so nice for the feet! We will be tearing the sheet rock down in the other two bedrooms in May or June. Not really looking forward to the mess, but it needs to be done. So until then I will enjoy the room to sew in. Maybe I will be more motivated to sew with have a room to leave things set up in. Fun! Fun! Fun! Have a good one everybody!

Grandma Cook's 82nd Birthday!

Wow! Can you believe that Grandma is a wonderful 82 golden years old. She is amazing! We met with some of Lyndon's brothers and sisters in Tremonton yesterday. Grandma is staying with Danna and is well cared for there. We took a book case up to her for a late Christmas gift and a birthday gift. She loved it. Some of the guys carried in some of her books and helped her put them on her shelf. I think she was pretty happy about it. We all went to lunch at a mexican restaurant in Tremonton and had a good time visiting.

We sure love grandma. She is a great lady and such a good example to her whole family. She is so cute with all the great-grandchildren and loves when they come to visit. They all love her too!
It was a fun day and so glad we got to celebrate with her. We hope that she has many more happy years to come.
