Sunday At Saga and a Birthday!

This is a class that I teach for SAGA.  I am not teaching it this year though.  It is all about Bonnets.  

And today (Sunday, September 26)  is my daughters Birthday.

Baby Shawna

She didn't miss a meal!!  Good rich Mothers Milk! I was an Earth Mother. Child of the late 60's and 70's!  I  Loved Natural!!  My kids didn't even know they gave out lollipops at the docters office!!  

I made the blanket she is on while waiting for her to arrive.  It's yellow, because, of course, I didn't know she would be a Girl!!  That was before ultrasounds.    I embroidered pretty little flowers and designs on soft flannel, then lined it and stitched gathered eyelet around the edges.  I  loved that blanket!  We lost it somewhere in Arizona while driving home from California to visit my parents in Texas. We were off the beaten path to see a small Indian village where they still had a community oven. It was very interesting but there was much poverty which also made it sad.  I liked to imagine that a mother  found that blanket and used it for her own baby.

She is still just like this!!!  Such a Priss!!  And Cute!

This was taken when I was expecting her.  I made my maternity set.  I am playing with my son in the Yosemite river (inside Yosemite National Park) in California.  Clear and Cold and Beautiful water.  My long, long hair gives you a hint that it is the early 70's!

Bringing Baby home. 

 I certainly have a good grip on her!  Never dropped a baby yet!

Wearing a little pink dress with an Eyelet apron that her Aunt Kathy made her.

She is all grown up now!

Her Birth announcement reads:

She's soft and cuddly

and couldn't be sweeter.

She's our baby daughter and 

We'd like you to meet her.

I arrive home from SAGA tonight!

And get to sleep in my own bed.  Yeah!!

(I  hope I had fun!)
