Been working on my stars spangled horse rug and it is coming along quite well.... The stripes were a little more challenging than I expected..... Making sure that each stripe had five rows in it...... and to keep them perfectly straight was a little overwhelming at times....... but they are finally completed.....
I have the eight blue stars to finish in the side bars. I am also thinking about doing a border around it .
And of course, every time I lay the rug down to look at it. I have a furry little creature on it.... This time it is Josey who absolutely loves to take a nap on the rug ....
It will not be long now it should be finished in the next couple weeks....
My granddaughter Annika was very busy last month... She celebrated her seventh birthday!!1
She also was in a theater play called Pinocchio 2.... She auditioned and was given the part of Amy... Here are a few pictures of the play.
Here she is singing with Pinocchio and her actor sister
waiting patiently for her lines
Here it was time for her solo and not nervous at all!
The family wants to adopt Pinocchio.
We are so proud of our little star! She did not get any of her lines wrong and her songs she sang were so good, in fact all the children in the play were absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed it so much....
She is going to try out for the encore theater group again... They really work with the children to build self-esteem and help them work on their vocal skills...... this is a wonderful group of people sharing their talents with the local children.....
Later that evening I took my oldest granddaughter Gabrielle to see Phantom of the Opera performed by Boyertown area Senior high school..... Words cannot express how impressed I was with the school's performance... I have seen Phantom of the Opera in New York two times. Never in my wildest dreams did I think a high school could put on a performance that matched New York..... But I was wrong!... These high school students were magnificent ..... Gabrielle and I loved the show, I asked her if she was singing along when the character Christine was singing the song Think of Me, she smiled and said not out loud Grammy!!!.... Later that night Gabrielle slept over and went with us to early church, after church we went for breakfast with my brother and several of my sisters and their husbands... This is becoming a Sunday morning ritual early mass, breakfast after with family.
Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the week and a great weekend!
You must be very proud of your beautiful little star. What a treat that must have been. Grandchildren as one of life's most precious joys.

Your rug is looking great! I hope I can get to Grant St. one of these next weeks and see it in person.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little grand-daughter! Isn't that a wonderful age when they can perform so unself-consiously!
Nettie, you certainly have been busy. Your granddaughter is too cute. And I too have been impressed with some High School performances. Doesn't seem possible sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYour rug is turning out GREAT! I'm sure you will have it done and starting a new one by the time you get out to Grant Street again. Have you thought about your next project? I've got a lot of catching up to do with all you hookers!
Happy Spring and happy Easter - hope your back is feeling better
ReplyDeleteNettie, thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog, and congratulations on your granddaughter's perfect performance. She's so cute. So nice that she got lots of flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour rug looks fantastic and is dog approved, lol. I think that they love the smell left behind by their master as they hook, not to mention that it makes a great mat to lay on.
The snow was finally gone but we got a wee bit yesterday and it's almost all gone again but it sure doesn't look like spring yet here.
I hope that you have a great Easter weekend. Happy Easter. JB
Awww your lil' granddaughter is adorable and so glad she enjoyed being in the play. The joys of life grandchildren :)
