89. Visit my grandmother's grave

It’s my Grandmother’s birthday today.

And boy do I miss her SO MUCH.

She has been gone for 11 years.

She passed away right after I graduated High School from cancer.

I like to think that she waited until I got home from my Senior Trip before passing so I could say goodbye.

It was a hard day.

You see no one is like my Grandma. She is Super Grandma and I am not kidding.

I was hoping she would send Luke to me on her birthday, but she decided to hold on to him for an extra 4 days. I didn’t mind.

I went to visit her grave yesterday. It has been a long time since I have visited it.

I wish I was better about going.

It was such a cold and rainy day that I couldn’t stay long with Luke out in that weather.

It was also super windy that I didn’t dare leave her birthday present on her grave in case it would be blown away, but I will be back to bring her a gift.

We love and miss you so much.

I am glad Luke got to meet you again. Keep my other babies safe for me.

We made it! It was quite the eventful trip.

It was full of yummy food, fast rides, lots of walking, and some sleepless nights, but it sure was a blast!

7. Make spray painted pillows

I am deciding to change this goal.

When I first made this list we were living in our other place.

We had a futon in our office and I wanted to make spray painted pillows for it.

When we moved into our new home, we left the futon for our tenants, so bye bye pillows.

We do, however, have a small chair in our office.

I had leftover material from the curtains so I made a pillow for the chair.

Maybe one day I will make the spray painted ones, but for now I am calling this complete!

65. Sew curtains for the office

I finally got around to sewing curtains for the office.

I am patiently waiting for a sewing machine of my own before attempting to sew a dress or a skirt.

I made the curtains out of a shower curtain.

I love the Damask fabrics, but they can get really expensive. So when I saw this material as a shower curtain I snagged it up.

These were super easy to make because it is just a simple valance, no fancy work involved.
