I made this cute wall hanging using fabric from the Verna collection by Moda. Not only is that fabric a favorite for both my sister and I, but our grandma's name was Verna, so I thought that would make it special and the pretty button was from our other grandma's button box. Her name was Alyne. They've been gone now for quite a while, but Pam and I have fond memories of both of them.
I also made this bag/tote which was so much fun.
So you see I have been doing a little something around here.
Yesterday I treated myself to a new, easy hairdo...what do you think? Really you don't have to answer that....lol
There was a time in my life when I hated how I looked, but you know what...I really don't anymore. Maybe it's turning 50 or that I've realized how short life is. I've earned all the lines (hopefully they are laugh lines) and bags under my eyes.
It's time to go cook some dinner...Enjoy the weekend! ranette

Ranette you look lovely and yes they are laugh lines. Yes life is very short and worring about how we look is not one of the things that should take up our time. Like I have told you before I love EVERYTHING!!! Thank you so much again. Love you!!
Ranette, you look gorgeous!!!!
Love your new hair style!
Happy Birthday, Pamela!!!!!!!!!!!
A beautiful wall hanging made all the more special with the family connections. A wonderful birthday gift!
Love that tote bag too. Beautiful KF fabrics!!
I am loving that wallhanging you made your sister. It is terrific. The bag is quite nice, too! You sure don't look 50, honey!! You look great, karen
I love the wallhanging ~ what a special gift for your sister! Nice haircut too :)
I least I guessed you made a bag. LOL What a great wallhanging, I'll bet he will treasure it forever. The bag is fun too.
I hate taking pictures too! I should just suck it up, I am not getting any younger. LOL!
I was just showing my friend your Pie & Tarts quilt today. I think I am going to attempt it once I am done with Life Is Beautiful. I may be burned out on circles by then.
OH!! I forgot to say that I love the haircut.
you are so beautiful!
You look pretty good to me Ranette. I hated the thought of turning 50 and had a hard time celebrating it but somehow turning 51 made it all ok. It was like getting over a really big hurdle.
Love your sister's present.

Oh lovely wallhanging and a cute bag.
I agree Ranette...you are gorgeous (so is the new 'do!), just wish I could tell you face to face, rather than via comment!!! Gorgeous quilt, tote and lovely memories. xo
Nothing wrong with you, silly hihi!! But turning 50 helps, I know!! Lovely little quilt you made for your sister!! Happy sewing, hugs, Daniëlle
Your sister's a lucky girl. What beautiful gift and great family connections. You look happy with your new do, looks great!
Adorable wall-hanging for your sis, Ranette!
And I think you look great, with or without the new do!!! :o)

Ranette, you look great and yes we earn our faces and our expressions on them, we're the real people.
Love the wall hanging you did for Pam, love it! The tote is preety neat too, nice and colourful.
Beautifull wallhanging, with very special memories of the name of the fabric. I like that and you are so right, live is to short to make worrys aboutyour looks. Everything you have is yours and I must say you look beautifull.
Aunt Ranette I love your new hair! It looks fun and easy to manage, and stylish all at the same time. Mom's presents are really beautiful, you should have seen how excited she was when she opened them. Thanks so much for the pincushion you sent for me, I'll definately put it to good use.
Love you!

Hi Ranette,

You and your sister are beautiful. And the wallhanging and bag you made for her are really nice too.
Your hair looks cute! I'm hoping for a new cut one of these days, myself. I love the wall hanging!!
