She has started to sew. When she purchased the wonderful Viking sewing machine for me, she bought herself another version of Viking.
She has already made this little one a Halloween Apron with ghouls and goblins on it...very cute.
He is a Frankenstein helper
It is amazing how well she is already sewing. She is the little one that would stand up behind me in the chair when I was sitting in sewing. She would play with my hair and we would talk, and talk the night away. I will never forget those tiny fingers playing with and brushing my hair. I suppose a lot of her childhood was spent in that sewing room.
She had her a strawberry shortcake playhouse in that room. It was cardboard but she would play in it for hours. That house lasted for years and years. It had a mail slot in it, so every once in a while I would stop crafting write her a letter and drop her off some mail. Guess that is why she and I both love getting mail to this day.
Aren't these two adorable?
I know I am prejudiced but they are the best! She and her hubby are expecting another soon.
Carly loves to cook and does it quite well I might add. She always goes all out when having parties with special touches. She is very talented.
For my birthday she fixed filet mignon, fresh asparagus, colored peppers. we had homemade chocolate pie. She made her apron too.
chocolate cupcakes...Delicious!
One special gift that she gave me was this beautiful lipstick from Estee Lauder
All of the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research.
She knows that I still love pink!!
In memory of Evelyn Lauder, who created the Pink Ribbon. Who helped to raise cancer awareness.
Who has also helped to make so many of us women more beautiful with her makeup.
Thank you Carly for everything. I am so proud of you.
God has blessed me with two beautiful, caring young ladies and I thank Him.

Oh how I love our Carly. She is such an exceptional person! 6 months can go by without us talking and when we finally do, we don't miss a beat! I love you Carly Amber!
