The Dude won the Best Overall Chatham County award (and trophy) for his book entry into the Young Author's Competition. Not only did he receive recognition for placing at his own school but was the Big Winner for the year in the entire county. Needless to say he is still glowing (and so are parents and grandparents). He wants to be a writer and for a 14 year-old, he is well on his way. So he now has his first published work in book form. The photo is depicting the securing of his "precious cargo" when we went in to celebrate with pizza and ice cream soda's.
That's a quick posting of the excitement and beauty in my life the last day or so. Hugs to all!
We are very proud of you Dude!
This is my entry in the Spring Fling Design Challenge. I call it "Spring Indoors". You can also find it posted at http://www.hummingbirdtreasures.etsy.com/. I love the way the colors play nicely together. I've had a lot of fun the last week playing with machine applique and machine quilting. I took it to book club today and got some very positive feedback for it.
While we were at the Young Authors' reception last night, Big T took these photos. This is the largest hydrangea I've ever seen. It is easily 15 foot high and is absolutely full of these softball size blooms. And I love the colors of the second photo.
