First finish! Pooh

Pooh w Butterflies
Sandy Hook Square for Madeleine
Finished 1/6/13
Stitched on 14ct White Aida w DMC

I finally finished my 1st square for the Sandy Hook Quilts =)..this square is for Madeleine, I chose it for her because from her pictures she always stood out to me ...maybe because she reminded me of Alondra ...her Bio says she had the personality like her dresses Fun Springy! with lots of butterflies and flowers and over all she was a lovely little girl ...I hope her family likes it 

I finished it on the 6th because on the 5th it was this little girl's 6th Birthday

Alondra on her Birthday 

I cant believe my baby is 6 !! its gone by so fast! ... :') ..most of the day I pretended to be devastated and crying just so she would get a shy and tell me Moooooooom I'm still gonna be your baby ! even when I'm a grownup like when I'm 8 ! *heehee* , she went back to school the following Monday so it was a crazy weekend 

She had some cake and a small dinner with grandma and one of my uncles, then on the 26 were going to have a party for her since she's really never had one because of her birthday being so soon after the holidays =) 

on the stitchy side of things ....dang it! its cold! I haven't been able to stitch much because my hands and fingers hurt =( ...you know like that feeling you get when you need to crack your fingers? ...well its like that but it doesn't go away =( I've also woken up with cramps in my hands ...that tingle and heaviness you get when your leg "falls sleep" ..well that but in my hands

hopefully it goes away soon, we've been turning on the heat on for the past two days 

for now I'm trying to finish my CCN Santa's House and its looking pretty close to a happy dance (finally!) then I'll be starting my next block for Bailee =) 

for now I gotta go finish that block while the fingers are warm =) i wish you all the bestest weekend ever! and an even better week to come
