Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Finally A Finish!!

Hi, all!

 Here it is, Friday again!!  Time to whoop it up again - - - are you ready?
*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's been a busy week here, but definitely a productive one!  Lots of things made for the craft fair, including this cute little pin cushion that I whipped up...


I finished up a beautiful quilt top, donated by Sharon, to be given to a single mom who has just been diagnosed with a brain tumor.  This one's just too pretty to show in one shot...






And Lilli went to her first day of kindergarten this week!  Here she is showing off her first-day outfit...


Emmy and I had a big time while Lilli and her parents were attending the opening of school..


Snuggling next to Nana on the sofa watching early-morning cartoons...


All cuddled up under Lilli's first quilt..


...and really glad to see her big sister at the end of the day!!


 So many things to whoop about this week! 

 UPDATE:  Just got one more, a big one - a clear annual CT scan!  Whoop whoop whoop!!!

 *&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What have you been working on this week?

What made you dance the happy dance?

Share - we want to join in the party!

The linky will be open until Sunday midnight - - -

Hope to see you there!!!

Hugs!

Sarah

    Cute pincushion and how those girls are growing! What a sweet photo of them holding hands in the car. AND you did a lovely job on the quilt - so happy it will be giving someone loving hugs.

    I wish my two little girls would hold hands like that, but they are too busy fighting with each other. I am told that will change, eventually.

    What a pretty quilt. I can't imagine the sorrow of a single mother having brain cancer. :( This is sure to warm her heart. Love the flowers in the pincushion.

    Lovely quilt. Many kind of blocks. And I love your kindergardener. Our adult kids still love to look at the shameless outfits they picked out in kindergarden. Glad you got a picture. It's cute.

    Gorgeous quilt I am sure it will be a comfort for the recipient at such a stressful time.

    Missed out on all the hand holding with having all boys, more likely to be play fighting than holding hands :)

    Oh no, it must be difficult to sometimes see all the hurt that cancer causes, but that is a beautiful quilt.

    Congratulations on the clear cat scan I know how that feels. Your grandchildren are growing so fast don't you wish you could slow them down some.
