Goodbye to DeeDee

We have been blessed with a wonderful companion for 18 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, and a day...

Our little one has crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" to lick the toes in Heaven.

Delilah - affectionately known as DeeDee - passed away in her sleep last night. 

It was not totally unexpected - she had been declining gradually over the past few weeks. 
Still, it's hard to express how much she will be missed. 
She was a great little traveler, and she loved the Evergreen Drive-In.

Happy New Year - 2012

I honestly don't know how the years go by sew fast... but here's a little review of what I accomplished last year:

I finished this . . .

Made a bunch (5 or 6?) of these kitty beds . . .

took a few trips... mostly to quilt shows, one to a Bead Fest and sometimes just to see the ones I love.

In short, I enjoyed my family, my friends and my sewing, art and crafty projects.

I taught others to craft, dye, sew and quilt.

I thrived in the love of a wonderful husband.

I traveled - to NY, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia -

not far from home, but far enough to appreciate home when we returned!

I invite you to form a list of all the places you went last year, all the things you made (besides $) and most of all, all the people who love you.  It's amazing how good life is when you see it from the right angle!

sew on!
