Her Patchwork Ganny Gann
Miss Freckles received this special
afghan for Christmas,
(affectionately called Ganny Gann)
from her Great Grandma.
so made this very colorful patchwork
ganny to match her personality.
in it around the house ever since.
Great Grandma said that this may be
the last of the afghans she makes.
She made all of us afghans, plus several
others for family members.
Maybe she feels she is tiring out.
We are blessed to have them,
made by her hands and stitched with lots of love intended.
little girl ...
for many years to come.

Handmade with LOVE....
Gee I can make something like that.
It is sure good to be crafty & resourceful.
Sketched out an elephant and whipped it up in less than two hours.
I gave it to her on Christmas Eve.
Yes, she thought I ordered it...
I told her Mama made it with LOVE for her.
And that made her so HAPPY!

Elephant Bottoms.....
I decided since freckles, favorite jeans got a hole in the knee + stains I couldn't get out, that I would save them & turn them into a whole new fun pair of pants.
I cut off the lags from the knee down and added a floral print fabric ruffle to that.
We affectionately call them Elephant Bottoms.
Freckles still gets to keep her favorite jeans...
must I add, they are stinkin' cute on her.

A White ( Pacaderm ) Elephant Party
I am sooo excited !
This was my first White Elephant party I have been in years ! It was pretty fun... you know the rules? People bring a gift ( can be old stuff or new stuff ) you pick a number, when your called you pick a gift or take a gift you like from someone else. ( Vicious isn't it ? ) If you get a gift taken away from you then you pick another. Well, it goes on for a bit... but, it is fun. Some people got someones old books, or DVD's. There were candles, bath yummy's and a gift card for I Tunes. Which my son got, but then someone cold heart idly stole it from his hands.... ( mean I know ) J.K..
Well I was #5 out of 38... got myself a brand new purse with tags still on it.... wooo hoooo ! I needed it, and no one took it from me either
(The stuffed White Elephant in the photo is my daughters which she brought to the party.)
Well, remember when the person took the gift card from my son? He picked another gift... which was of no use to him. So, he generously gave it to me.... It was a vintage tin, inside were lovely antique/vintage linens
( a table top cloth and 4 napkins nicely pressed and in wonderful condition.)
There was also a little white ceramic loaf pan...perfect !!!
Right up my alley.....
I scored !!!!
