She'll never be one again....

I hope you will take a chance and turn the video on and listen to the words as you scroll through these photos....yes, our Little Lorelei is two years old today! (The music is just a tad bit slow to start...so be patient.)
I went back through this blog and snagged a few of the photos I have posted before....
it was very hard to choose....
I finally just had to pick a few and decided to quit after 10...
Oops, a couple more snuck in...
I have been sitting the past two or three nights going back and scrolling through the photos, and really pausing to look at the ones of Lo...
What a joy it is to have her in our lives....
She brightens up any day...
and brings laughter to almost anyone she meets.
So, take your time and slowly stroll down memory lane with me as you look at these.
I hope she brings a smile to your face as she does mine.
Today on her second birthday, I wish for her all the love, joy and happiness that she has given us.

Mixed post....

First I have to show Bubbie...he was trying to block the light from his eyes...I just had to show him. He is so cute.

But what this post was going to be about is my current project...
a year or two ago, my older daughter chose this grouping of fabrics...above is the group of tans. I must tell you that the photo does not do them justice. And below are the more colorful characters...
I really wish we had picked up at least another green or two...but am making do with the two of them and the couple of browns...I am just not sure how much I am going to like it once the quilt is all together.
Above is one of the blocks....I have to make 13 blocks with these colors...notice the diagonal line of the red fabrics. These 13 blocks will be alternated with 12 blocks that are predominately in the tan colors.

I worked a while on them yesterday and the night before...I do not even want to tell you the mistakes I made in sewing....and the ripping out that I done. I only finished four of these blocks, but if I had not made all the mistakes I could have finished at least another one.

And would you believe in looking at the photo of the block above, I see a couple of glaring mistakes....I did not notice them till I loaded them on to here!

From the archives.....

This was taken in October of 2007...I thought then that it was being prepared either to live in or for a studio...as you can see by going here to my other blog, it is definitely something now. I assume a home...I sure wish I could see the inside. That big window up top had still framed a Christmas tree. I hope next year I can remember to go by there at night.

I had such fun looking for this photo...photos are wonderful. They take us back in time...I could almost feel the sun on my face looking at some of them. Others it was the wind..or maybe that feeling right before a storm.

Then there was the ones of Lorelei when she was just a baby...

look at that little face! It just melts my heart and makes me wish she was right here, right now till I could sneak in a hug every now and then.

Do you realize she will be two years old next week...the 9th to be exact. I wonder where the time has flown. I wish I could go back and relive some of the days, but since I can't....I will scroll through the photos and when I come to one of her, it will bring a smile to my face...and maybe a giggle in some instances...and my arms will ache to hold her.
