I don’t have much needlework content to share with you today because I’ve been busy with something much more important, and here she is:

This weekend is my daughter-in-law’s birthday, so we get to keep the grandkids while my son takes her on a getaway. GP is 6 and MJ is 4, so as soon as they got in the door yesterday they went straight for the GameCube. I let them play for about an hour, but then I [...]

Hello and welcome to my fledgling attempts to join the blogging universe; I’m so glad you could stop by and spend a few minutes with me. Being from the south and having good manners drilled into me from birth, I guess I should properly introduce myself: my name is DeeDee and as you can probably tell [...]
