PINK SATURDAY, NOV. 19, 2011


Hello friends, I'm linking up with Smilin Sally because I have some blue on this post that I'd like to share with you. I also wanted to wish you all and wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I usually work on Monday's and don't get a chance to link up with Sally. Our schools in WV close for the week so I thought it was a great chance to visit all my Blue Monday friends.

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.

First I have a few close ups of a  little table mat that I embroidered this past year. It's done in pearl cotton in Brazilian emboridery then made into a little quilt. My friend Mary from "Here's Home" had seen it in one of my pics and wanted to see a close up of it. I will try to get some better pics this week for you Mary. I found these in my files but they really do not do it justice. It's all done by hand. Thank you Mary for admiring it!



Another little Calico Kitten that I picked up in an Antique Shop in Ohio Amish Country for $2.00.


Another Calico Kitten, I thought it was so cute with the gift of kitty food for her friend. LOL A touch of blue here!



Next it's Grandma's bragging time.
My two youngest grandson's and their dates for their homecoming dance in September.
Marcus is on the left, he is a senior and Mike on the right is a sophmore.
I just had to share the girls pretty blue dresses with my Blue Monday friends!

 We are so proud of our handsome grandsons and enjoy watching them grow up into young men.


Next is our grandson (our sailor) with his younger brother on his back. They are always clowning around like this. We love them so much! "He ain't heavy, he's my brother"

I snapped these pictures of our grandson Joey (our sailor) in his Mustang convertable that he bought when his was stationed in California, had it shippped home to his new base in Beaufort, SC. We love seeing him coming in and out of the farm when he's home on leave. He's enjoying his time with his brother's and friends. He will be home again for Thanksgiving, we love that he's stationed on the east coast and can get home when he has a long weekend. Ed and I are going to go to Beaufort this summer and spend some time with him. He and Ed both love to fish and I love to relax, read and embroider so we will have a great time. Then seafood restaurents and walking on the beach in the evening.



A touch of pink on the plate below, my husbands Uncle gave me this when we were in NJ. I thought it was so pretty.


A little creamer that I picked up in a thrift store for a quarter.

Thank you so much for stopping by it was so nice to visit with you. I'm looking forward to my visits with you! Have a wonderful week and have a wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving!
Hugs, Shirl

Hi Shirl,
What a wonderful family you have...such handsome young men! I enjoyed the pictures so much and bless your young men for serving our country! I am so appreciative all that they do for us! I worry about them, too!

I love the little blanket you embroidered. I would loved to have seen more of it. I embroider, too, and I know how many hours went into that piece.

Have a warm and cozy Thanksgiving!

Hi Shirley,
That embroidered piece is so beautiful. I can see a lot of time and care went into stitching it. Your pretty craftwork always inspires me. You have handsome grandsons and how nice that they get along well together. The picture setting with their dates looks very pretty. I love the new kitty pieces and by clicking on them for a better look, I also got a better look at the embroidered piece. Such pretty flowers and colors. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and have a most blessed Thanksgiving.
