The Tea Hat and Friends

In my last post I described the blessing I had when a good friend allowed me to make a pattern from a 100 year old apron.  The apron just called for a tea Hat and this is how it turned out. It is poised and ready to great guests for an afternoon Mother's day tea.  Please join me! 

I made a cinnamon strudel cake for Mother's day, and it certainly goes well when sipping a piping hot cup of tea. 

My mother has passed, but I have great friends who are there for me!   Have a blessed week!

Happy Mother's day gals!  Aunt Jessie's Tea Hat and apron were on display at Church for Mother's day.

I am the one in the pink sweater.

~Aunt Jessie's Apron~

The Lord so very often blesses us at the most unexpected times!  We have been practicing a special for Mother's day at Church.  A good friend is going to sing "My Mother's Checkered Apron."  She happened to bring an apron to practice the other day to wear when she sings, and I just about fell over.  The pattern was very similar to one I have been looking at on-line for a VERY long time.  The story of this apron is so neat!  It belonged to her Aunt Jessie.  She believes the apron is probably about 100 years old.  She had NO idea I had been looking at one made very similarly.  Bless her heart, she allowed me to make a pattern from this dear apron.  I immediately went to work to depict the song we will be singing for Mother's day.  The apron just needed a great big garden hat.  I found a white sun hat at Wal-mart.  I removed the beads and added my own touch. 

My friend just does NOT know how much she has been used in my life as a blessing!  A few years ago, I had been praying about a dress form.  I had wanted one for a very long time.  And wouldn't you know this same friend asked me one day if I would like to have an old dress form!  What surprises and blessings the Lord brings into our lives!  Trust you have enjoyed the story of Aunt Jessie's Apron.  Have a very Happy Mother's day!

I have taken the dress form and the apron with Garden Hat for Mother's day at Church.  Our pastor's wife suggested that maybe mothers and daughters might want to have their picture taken with A replica of Aunt Jessie's apron!

Home Pink Home~Happy Mother's Day

Easter Sunday was a great day at our "Home Pink Home."  All eight of our grandchildren were there and our boys and their wives. 

The little ones had such a good time hunting Easter eggs-just adorable.  Our little princess was running in the green grass with her sweet pink dress her little tiara and a wand-plus HUGE earrings.  A priceless memory.

Gram was pretty tired by the end of the day, but it was worth it.  From our almost 17 year old grandson to our 4 month old granddaughter, family is truly a blessing.  Our home is pretty quiet once again, but the memories still bring great pleasure and smiles!  Relaxing now with a cup of tea, pound cake, and fresh fruit. 

Have a happy Mother's day!
