Hope your Christmas was Merry!



Me and my girls!
Christmas has come and gone, and a brand New Year is on the way.  Hope your Christmas was Merry and Bright!   I had a wonderful Christmas.  Nothing is better than spending such a special holiday with family!   I love this time of year and having my family near is such a huge part of it!

cousins rough housing with Uncle Zac
The Grands all seemed to love their gifts and enjoyed visiting with the cousins and aunts and uncles!  The adults seemed to love their gifts too!  I have to admit  I loved mine!  I have been without a DVD player forever, I have been watching movies on my small laptop, well thanks to my son and daughter-in-law to be, I can now watch them on my big TV.  How nice that is!
I also received a Kindle Fire! Wow, thanks kids! How great is that. I have been wanting one since Amazon announced the release date. I have a kindle, but it does not display in color, now I can get magazines and actually see them in color. What a huge difference that makes, plus angry birds is a huge favorite of mine, now I can see what I am doing instead of playing it on my Ipod touch, which is a very small screen!


But the very best gift is my Grand that will be here in June. I can't wait! It will be my oldest son's (Travis) and Christa's first. We are all so very excited!
Christa
Showing off the Baby Bump!
Of course the gifts are just a small part of Christmas. It is a celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Hope everyone had a blessed day and that the feeling of love and sharing will continue on into the new year!    I Will be back next week with more sewing tips and news. I am going to continue resting and relaxing ( with my new Kindle Fire! lol) and will see you soon.   Love to each and everyone of you and a Very Happy New Year!


Happy Sewing!

Congrats on your upcoming new addition! You will have to make your daughter in law something from our diaper central. My MIL gave me a few cloth diapers at my shower and I loved them!

Happy New Year From Glo Sews!

Midnight is approaching and as I ready myself for a brand new year, I can't help but reflect on the year that is quickly coming to an end!  It has been a wonderful year here at Glo Sews.  I have learned so much over the past six months and made so many wonderful blogging friends!  Thanks to all of you that have made me so happy by your many comments and by reaching out to me in friendship!  I know that 2012 will be even better! I have several favorite posts this year, I guess one of my very favorite would be the very first one that started it all off.   Sewing Again  explained a lot about me and where I have been and where I hope to go!   Shirred Dresses  covered a technique I yearned to try years ago but could never find the time.  Oh, how much fun that was, it was a long time dream just to try it and I really fell in love with the technique and the dresses I made!   Fit For A Princess  was another fun project.  I made a...
