Friends,

I am so sad to let you know that Rene Orgeron passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, April 19, 2009. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many. She will be greatly missed. Please know that she has gone home to God.

We love you, Mom.

This is the red side

Blue side of purse

lace, ribbons, beads

I need to redo the strap, it is croched with a Satin cord. The stitches kept slipping, so I need to find some other method for a handle.

I also need to cover the inside stitches on the beading that holds the handle to the fabric.

And last for the day is my best friend Missy who is looking at her 15 year Birthday in November, so we both have these Senior Moments.

The cover is decorated in ribbons and lace.

First page with Terra’s name and son Erik, butterfly wings and big hat

the back cover with some green shoes!

pages in the journal have bits and pieces of handwork which she likes.

I did not fill the pages with all kinds of stuff, that’s her job, she is a pretty good photographer, so the journal will be for notes and copies. She will add what she needs. Terra is also a beader, her ideas and work are so delicate.

I sat today thinking about the Easter’s I had in the past.

Life has changed so much. People are in such a hurry, and far to casual to find things to set up simple occasions to create memories for the family.

Our world is spinning so fast we don’t have time to do fun and sweet things for our families.

I am praying for my family to take notice of things, you know stop and smell the roses.

I have been working on a few things in February and March will try and share some with you. I am finding it harder to set at the sewing machine, or work on large quilts. So I have turned to small things.

I’ll look and fine some to share.

This is a little journal I did for March.

last page features the chicken scratch stitch, I did’t have any gingum so I used a print that I could regulate as squares

I love the color brown, I guess it is the color of Chocolate Brownies,Fudge. All those things I love.The center piece of embroidery is done on a linen. I guess the circle is my favorite form at this time. I have tried several different threads, added beads and buttons, I love the way it looks. 

Have been working on small projects. Hopeing to get some new things going soon. I see so many wonderful work by so many ladies. I want to be a part of that.

This month I have tried a few embroidery pieces as samples I guess.  Below is the first one. The two dragonflies are in cross stitch. The

threads are DMC. Flowers are stitched with #5 DMC small beads are added. The pattern is my own. Had hoped to do three in a row. But ran out of space. Will post a second and third piece.
