I love your last pic of John w/ your purse. How many times I remember my dad carrying mom's purse! My dad talked often of playing marbles when he was a kid and all my nieces/nephews love marbles too. Your post about neither of you feeling great and being cranky...we were without power for 50 hours about 3 weeks ago due to ice in Georgia. Talk about cranky. John and I were sick of each other!!! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-75294383464436116122015-03-08T15:45:24.824-04:002015-03-08T15:45:24.824-04:00John is definitely a peach.

About the marble bags, you might find cording in the curtain/upholstery section of the fabric store. Also you might look for parachute cording (I think that is what it's called).Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718137744623626322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-42565179105598227792015-03-01T08:01:20.825-05:002015-03-01T08:01:20.825-05:00You've been a busy little beaver with that sew...You've been a busy little beaver with that sewing machine and camera.

I have two beautiful, leather marble bags that my mother found at a rummage sale years and years ago along with some great vintage marbles. I have to wait for the little guy to get a little older though as I'm sure they'd end up in his mouth.

V had to sleep with a pillow like that for months for neck pain--it was very helpful and eventually his pain went away.<br /><br />We are catching up to you here, Vee! We had a foot of snow yesterday, almost as much on top of that today and it will snow all weekend!<br />V and I were away for 6 days to get a little R&R in New Orleans. It was not warm ther, but that was good in a way as we did a lot of walking around.We loved the World War II Museum there and saw a few plantations.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I had a 24 hours virus the days we flew home--not a fun way to take two connecting flights, and it made me weak for a few days. Now V is coming down with it. With all this snow we are just trying to keep up with the shoveling!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-310610754627397382015-02-26T15:42:35.319-05:002015-02-26T15:42:35.319-05:00Oh I love that RED home!! against the snow it is G...Oh I love that RED home!! against the snow it is GORGEOUS. <br />Your home is really nice too.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393101640348893129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-44762231301342569262015-02-26T11:33:08.364-05:002015-02-26T11:33:08.364-05:00oops..and meant to add ....THAT IS WAAAY TOO MUCH ...oops..and meant to add ....THAT IS WAAAY TOO MUCH SNOW TO BE COMFORTABLE...!!<br />It's lightly snowing here this morning.bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-85017549095111580872015-02-26T11:32:28.831-05:002015-02-26T11:32:28.831-05:00Love the little bag...I made laundry bags for kids...Love the little bag...I made laundry bags for kids when they went off to college out of the ticking and made just like this little bag.

I love red anyway, but it is perfect in the snow. Personally, I think that is a good enough reason to paint a house red.

How well I remember it from by-gone years. So glad your grands are still playing marbles. I think I might have to take mine on a marble playing retreat!

I was worried that they were being abandoned in favor of the many technological devices. Your marble bags turned out so nice, although I suppose the boys might prefer something other than ribbon.<br />Glad you popped in the photo of the red (partial) house in the snowy setting. So pretty! Speaking of pretty, that white house in your neighborhood is stunning in winter and spring. I must admit the spring scene looks especially attractive to me right about now.<br />After seeing the pile up around your house, I can sympathize with your sore arms and John's sore neck. I can't imagine keeping up with that at this stage of life. You are a sweetie for making him a special pillow. <br />You have me chuckling with that last comment. Yes, you really do have to love the man who will carry the purse.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-44810859131197654742015-02-25T20:32:54.163-05:002015-02-25T20:32:54.163-05:00Wonderful.
