Prior Blog Post Explanation

This is really strange, Blogger isn't liking me today.
I got permission from my granddaughter to share the previous post from her blog.  I think that it's adorable.
Her blog is here
I also got permission from my niece to share her 15 year old daughter's first quilt, it's the post prior to the one about my great granddaughter. 
PS  I had been thinking of either a SewEzi table or a Gidget II
Today, after googling like crazy, I ended up ordering this:

and getting a really good deal for it on ebay:

It was more than I had planned to spend but it looks so sturdy and it got a really good review:

I'm very excited to get it for my Juki and hope that it will make free motion easier.  


My 2 Year Old Great Granddaughter


What Makes Mackenzie Happy?

She loves when Mommy does her nails :)
It's amazing to see how many of these she can eat.
If Mackenzie comes to you with a normal crayon in hand and says, "Help." it is because her crayon is in one piece and has the paper around it still. This is unacceptable to her, she will only use broken, paperless crayons.
"Rumor Has It/Someone Like You" by Glee has been played (not kidding) over fifty times. Mackenzie can sing her version of the song and mimics the dance moves to the best of her abilities. Glee's Performance of it
She loves Elmo and all her Sesame Street books. She isn't a fan of the show though.
Want to see Mackenzie super excited, bring out the stickers! She loves to "decorate" whatever she is wearing at the time.
She loves to sing and dance to this song!
Mackenzie = BIG FAN
Two of Kenzie's favorite things, kitty cats and smelling flowers!
A new addition to Mackenzie's growing collection of "buddies", Valentina came into Mackenzie's life today when we received a package from Grammy and Sweetie Grandpa and Mackenzie is in love :).
This is Mackenzie's favorite thing to say, we are not sure why she says it many many times throughout the day. We think that she just likes the way it flows? Maybe? She's a silly girl! 
Counting, especially with her Leapfrog friends.
Hilltop Park, it's down the street and she loves it! This picture doesn't show the toddler playground but it's the one she loves the most.
She gives the best hugs and she loves to be hugged. 


So- These are just several of Mackenzie's many favorite things, I'm sure I'm leaving out some big favorites but it's almost 1am and I think my sleepiness is getting the best of me. I love my little girl and it was fun to look up all the little things that make her happy and think of the times they did. She's a very sweet, loving two year old. While I was registering for classes today, the lady from the college was on the phone helping and heard Mackenzie in the background and asked me, "Is she a terrible two or a tolerable two?" and I have to honestly say she is definitely a TERRIFIC two! She has her meltdowns and times when she has her own ideas of how things should go but overall she is a very obedient, kind and loving Mackenzie :)!

New Quilter in the Family?

I received an email and a photo from my niece.  "Wanted to show off the quilt Harp (Harper, 15) made for her friend's baby.  The friend & her new husband are big into hunting if you can't tell.  She made it in her sewing class, for her first quilt I think it turned out awesome.  And, even better, she enjoyed doing it.  And Kolb (Kolbie) saw the opportunity to have her picture taken, she can't pass that up, lol."   I agree, I think that Harper did an awesome job and I think that Kolbie is an excellent model.
