We were in NC again but just for a week this time.My daughter's best friend was throwing her a baby sprinkle. A sprinkle is a shower but for a second baby.Since her first was born during Covid she didn't have a normal pregnancy/baby experience.This included the baby shower.I was in charge of the desserts.A little pressure since my daughter told her friend that desserts are the most important

I am home from NC and ready to share lots!  I will have to break this into several posts. It's been 6 weeks since I had my lumpectomy.  I believe I have already said this but if not, margins were clear, and there was no lymph node involvement!!  I *finally* got the oncotype score back and it was 21!!  For post menopausal women this means I would have <1% benefit from chemotherapy so no chemo for

I snapped this selfie on February 16 while waiting for my routine mamogram.  I wanted to keep this appointment and then we were set to leave for NC for the next 3 months to visit the kids and Avery.After the mamogram I had to wait to make sure the pics were ok.  They called me back for an ultrasound.  They found a mass on my left breast and wanted a closer look.  Due to how it looked, the

Christmas was pretty low key over here at chez Lincoln.  We didn't have the grandbaby but our other 2 kids were here.  I forgot to share some photos of the Christmas stockings I made for my great nephew Charlie.  Thought I would share those now.This Santa one was made for Charlie's grandma and grandpa's house.  I had a devil of a time finding that green for the name.  I usually put my fabrics

We were invited to attend the wedding of our SIL's brother.  Our daughter asked us to forgo the festivities and watch the baby instead.  We needed to bring him over to the wedding venue for photos after the wedding then home after that.  This is the wedding quilt I made for Cam and Haley.  I don't think I got a photo of it after it was quilted though.Since we were camping and didn't want to move

Our daughter, SIL and grandson were here over the weekend!  They rented an Airbnb for the weekend before they headed to a friend's cabin up north for the week.  We threw a big outdoor bash for Chris's family to come and meet Avery.  Since he lives in NC none of our family (except my kids) had been able to meet him.  We have a local park within our subdivision so I reserved it for the day.  There

Our month in NC is coming to an end.  We have spent almost every weekend with Avery and his parents.  I have taken hundreds of photos and would love to share just a few of my favorites.  Today, when I walked in and went to the room where he was on the floor, he looked up at me and was smiling so much!  It just melted my heart.  He is such a happy little guy and such a pleasure to be around.

I finished quilting a little baby quilt.  It is so cute!  Fabrics are cotton plus Minky.  The bear fabric is minky, so soft!  The minky is on the front and back.  I bound it in satin, for that great silky edge babies love.  The size is 37" x 37".  If you are intereste,d please contact me via email at mamaspark@gmail.comClose up of the quilt.  Bear, Minky on the back.Satin edging.I made one like

I couldn't post this until it was received.  Little baby Lincoln received her quilt today in the mail.  You all saw the left over pieces from the Neverland fabric line and this is the quilt I made with it.  Pattern is a free one called Star Break.I LOVE this pattern and I really have enjoyed working with the Neverland fabric.  I still have quite a bit left if anyone else wants to make one.  See

I have several baby quilts to make heading into the new year.  I think I am doing them in reverse order, LOL.  I have the one for the last baby complete, the middle one is this one and the first one is all cut out!I spent the weekend at my friend, Mrs Goodneedle's house.  Her sewing room is a DREAM!  It has a design wall (that I needed a step stool to reach the top of), a HUGE cutting table (

I'm just popping on here to let you all know the good news about Cole.  His 3 month blood work came back NORMAL!  This allowed us to go into the observation phase for the next 84 days!  Keep your fingers crossed that all stays stable for him.  No more shots!  We are BOTH happy about that.  I want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you that prayed, sent good thoughts and donated to

Last week our daughter and SIL made us grandparents. I am so proud to introduce you all to Avery Lincoln Roberts  He was born on 10/09/2020 weighing in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces.  We got to meet him today.  He was fussy when we got to their house and as soon as I took him he quieted down and fell asleep.  I think it is the grandma's touch!Papa was pretty smitten too.He is still a little jaundiced
