Summer Projects

I've gotten several projects accomplished this spring and summer and here are a couple of them.

The French doll is from an elinor peace bailey (elinor doesn't capitalize her name) pattern. I named her Anastina, garnered from an old tombstone I found years ago! My two cats think she's a "people" too--they lie in her lap occasionally. Her clothing is from a set of metallic cottons I bought some years ago and had never used. She has "b & b" underneath--bloomers and boobies.

The bag is one of two from coordinating fabrics. It was made from the pattern shown from a magazine. This one went to Kelly, my new DIL, and the other went to my sister for her birthday.

have a baby brother or sister in January, 2010!

My Son's Wedding

Chris & Kelly make their getaway! July 11, 2009

Saturday, July 11th, was a happy day! My son, Chris Tucker, married Kelly Warren of Rutherford, TN. Kelly also has a son, Carter, age 7, so I got a new grandson as well.

The wedding was held at 1st Baptist Church in Rutherford, and there were over 200 people there. They had to bring in chairs!

It was a great day, and we are very proud of our son's choice. Kelly is a teacher and also sings often in church.
