Pajama Party..

What fun this PJ party has been.. I am looking forward to seeing everyone's
cute and comfy pj's.
And  also, the  fun photos , they are doing with them..  But  Girls........... I
 am too old  to do my pillow fight photos,[I might stand on the bed, and
never get back up,hahaha] So.. you just get  the plain ole photo of my
 new comfy pj's.


Be sure to check out Karen's blog, And see her pj's.Thankyou Karen,
for  doing this sewalong.

  I love the baby soft seersucker fabric  that these are made from, I found
the fabric at the flea market. And I have a RTW tshirt that is soft as silk
to wear with them..




What am I reading?
 I love to read.. At the moment I am reading one of
Nicolas Sparks Novels..."A walk to Remember".
I also  read my sewing books, and glace through
sewing magazines, before falling off to sleep at night..
 What better dreams than.... sewing !!

Pajama Party...Sew along

Check it out here

Karen is hosting a pajama sew along.. What great fun. Check it out ..



My pj bottoms are all really worn and need to be replaced.
I bought this  pattern at JoAnn's 99 cent sale, quiet a long
while back.. But it sit in my stash.. Just waiting for the
right time.. Well.. nothing better than a  pj party.
 I will be making  mine from this yellow seersucker fabric,
that I got  ,while out thrifting..

Rules:
 Make your own pj bottoms, either from the pattern
that Karen suggest,,Simplicty 2721,  or use one of your own..
Or do as Rachel  has done
http://houseofpinheiro.blogspot.com/,
and use an old pair , as a pattern.

Once you have them made, you may post them on 4/29/11.
Note...Karen says..you don't  have to post a photo of
your self in the pj's [if you don't want to].. YEA!!!  You
can just post a photo of a  folded up pair of  "new pj's".





                                                           HAPPY  SEWING!

Judy's Grandkids- Easter at my house -2012

  We had a great day .. Our kids and grandkids were all here.  This is the bunch!!!

Happy Easter

May you Each Have a Blessed Easter


  Easter is such a wonderful time. The time to reflect on Jesus.
He died on  that cross for each of us. But praise God,
He is no longer on that cross, He rose again the third day!


We will be having  Easter dinner with  our children and
grandchildren , after church on Easter Sunday. I have
many  chores to get done today [Saturday] in plans
fo this special day. What are your and your families plans
for this special Day?

I would like to take this time to say Happy Easter to each of you.
May God bless you and  you families.

Anniversary

Judy & Kenny's 40th Anniversary
April 1-2012

Kenny and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary Sunday. April 1.
Yes Girls. we got married on April Fools Day!!!! Ha

We had a good day. Kenny took me out to eat.. It was very nice.
He was not feeling very well,  which he tried to hide from me,
but after 40 years, that is hard to do.lol.  We have had some
hard times and some really wonderful times in these 40 years.But I
thank God for him , our children and the years we have had together.
