Hello dear friends and followers - I am happy to be back! Thank you all for your patience with me, while I was away....and thank you to those of you who sent me emails and notes while I was dealing with the death of my grandmother - your kindness brought me comfort. My grandmother (photo right) was a brilliant artist and needleworker...her paintings and handwork are amazing. I was blessed to ship home twelve of her framed needlework pieces (mostly needlepoint)...I plan to share them here on my blog in the near future. She truly loved living in Las Vegas (five minutes from the Strip) and I tried to find time to see her favorite things while I was out there. The Botanical Gardens, The Fountains, and Gallery of Fine Art, all at the Bellagio Hotel were among her favorites...along with the view from the Stratosphere. Below are a few snapshots...Now time to focus on work, so I can get the new designs out this month. Visit my website "Future" page to see photos (be sure to check out "Schoolgirl Samplings" - I am so very proud of it - it has been in the planning stages for over a year!)...more info will be posted soon...and I will get a newsletter written soon (really, I will )...I have a TON of BRD stuff to share...
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandma. Any chance you would post pics of some of her needlework? :) Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your grandmother. How wonderful that you have some of her needlework. I peeked at your new designs and they are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Just take your time and look after yourself well, I'm sure that those of us who love your designs are willing to wait a little while longer. I took a peek at the future designs and I'm in so much trouble, there all great...just need to rob a bank and find a few more hours in the day and then I'm set to go.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere condolences of the loss of your grandmother. May her soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed, rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe statue of liberty...we watched that being built when we were on our honeymoon in 1996. Every morning my husband would sit on a chair pulled in front of the window watching the worker building it. We were staying in Excaliber and our room was up high and faced the being built New York, NY.
:)
Thoughts and prayers to you. How nice that you will have her needlework.

I am very sorry to hear of your Grandmother. She looks a bit like my Mom in the picture you posted. Such cute little ladies. I'm glad you have such wonderful memories of her.
