Just Love this!



Look at my NEW book. I'm so excited to have received this fabulous "Pretty Patchwork Gifts"
by Helen Plilipps.  (I ordered through Amazon books) You must get this book and visit Helen's blog
here. You will not be disappointed.
I'm in heaven looking at all the projects, photos, and wonderful directions. This has got to be my
favorite book ever!!!






The pictures are so cheery, the fabrics so delicious, the ideas so clever and the I want to make
them all!
AND I will after I finish a few WIPs




I got a haircut!!! I got bangs.........I really needed a change and it is. I keep wondering who it is in the
mirror, what will honey say!?!?  Surprise, surprise...........




Look at my granddaughters as they celebrated Chinese New Year on Sunday!! Oh, how I love them.
I have them all next week for Nannie and Poppy time and their school break. Aren't we lucky?


Well, just had to share my love of Helen's book and let you all have a peek. Get one soon, if you can.
Love your visits and comments. I have been trying to reply to all, if you get a chance to return.

Wishing you all a happy and safe rest of the week,     xoRobin❤

    Thanks so much Vivienne! My leg is so much better, just working on squats and getting strength in my thigh area. I will fill you in on all our doings with the little ones. Sure loving your bunnies, can't wait for mine. (but I'm a very patient person, take your time, no pressure)

    You are going to have so much fun next week, and do we get to see the new haircut? You are so brave, I can't do bangs cause my hair waves up, I look ridiculous, but I sure would like some to cover my wrinkles.
    Hugs,
    Meredith

    Helen's book looks wonderful Robin. I will look forward to seeing your makes. Now bangs must be an american expression....to me it is the noise a toy gun makes...LOL...what are bangs? Have fun with those darling granddaughters of yours, I can see that you will have some creative fun with them both. Glad that you are really on the mend now, hugs x

      That's so funny Jane! Yes, we call bangs a haircut where you have hair cut the length of your forehead to your eyes and the rest of the hair is longer! If that makes sense!?! LOL
      Next week will be great and I'm so happy I'm better.....not for sledding and such, but a little swimming and children museum type things.
      Until then Happy ❤ Day, xoRobin
