a brother, knobs, snow folks and an afghan

I'd like you to meet someone. This is my older half brother Steve and his lovely wife Glenda who live in Texas. This picture was a visit they took to San Antonio in October. I sure miss them too. I haven't seen them since dad passed away in 2001. When they lived in Oklahoma it wasn't a big deal to go see them. I've been a little teary eyed and a bit blue the last couple days. I don't know why but I refuse to let it overwhelm me! Getting a card and pic from the two of them just kinda added fuel to the fire.
Well, I got tired of my all green cabinet and painted the knobs a copper metalic. I like it and think it makes it look better!
Here is Jack's progress on his quilt. He has been sewing like a house a fire and that needle of his is smoking!
And I have been a bit busy myself. I am almost done with my afghan! Just got to do the border and give the loose ends on the back a haircut and it is done, done, done!
One more little note. We will have a new family member the 29th. Her name is Lucy and she is a black doxie mix about 6 to 8 years old. She was abandoned 2 years ago by her family and left in a backyard without food or water. While the lady who has her now adores her she is gone a lot and wants Lucy to have a home where she will get more attention. When she took Lucy in for a friend who did doggie rescues, she never meant to keep her this long but we here Lucy is a real sweetheart! So I have to get busy making a snuggle sack and afghan for her so she and Katie will each have there own! So until next time I will see you then!
