Many years ago ( like maybe 25 or 30) Greg bought me a beautiful heart sweater for Valentine's Day. It was from a really posh little shop in the Birmingham Galleria. It cost $100. I saw it one day but thought it was way too expensive ( it was for 25 years ago) I told him about it. He went back and got it and surprised me. I loved it and wore it for years...but then it went out of style and got too small. I loved the detail of all the knit hearts and could never part with it. I thought one day...I could make pillows out it it. So my friend Judy ( a fabulous sewer that I visit teach) offered to make them for me. She is really good at pillows. She made me four.....I have 2 on my love seat in the kitchen. I love them. They hold such a sweet memory from Greg and now another one from Judy. I feel so happy that it has been recycled in such a cool way. It bring much LOVE into my life this Valentine's time.
I was born on the 4th of July in sunny Los Angeles, California and
grew up as an original "valley girl". I kissed Elvis at 17, danced on
the tables in Greece at 19, attended BYU and met Greg...got married and
then settled down to become the mother of 5 great kids and now the
grandmother of 13 adorable grandkids .I love chocolate,
romantic comedies, hot bubble baths, lots of cute purses, all kinds of
people and Virginia in the spring and fall.
