Celebrate the Music

This week we are having a band auction to raise money for our band program. People get donations and then we have a silent auction during our final concert of the year. It is very fun! In years past it has been VERY successful....I end up spending a bit of money myself and have got some really cool stuff:) This year I decided I wanted to make a rag quilt to auction off. I had a blast choosing the fabric. It is full of musical instruments of all kinds.
I made a matching pillowcase too!! Even though I've made alot of pillowcases, I found some really good instructions on how to make a seamless case.... on You Tube!!
I found this plastic wrapper from a bedspread we bought years ago just laying around....so I put the blanket in it and it had a handy pocket to put the pillowcase in too. I made a little card to display it with. I hope it makes some money.... And this post would not be complete without me sharing another picture of me with Sadie Mae. I'll get to hold her again in just 10 days!! I can't wait!

Being a Grandma.......

The best things about being a grandma You can snuggle them and love them all you want....but then go to bed and sleep at night:)
You can never spoil them enough...and if you do it's not your fault!
They learn to recognize your voice even when they're itsy bitsy.

The hardest things about being a Grandma
....When you live far away and have to leave them
....You live far away and don't get to see them enough
....You live far away and they grow up without you
