Two of my grands were here, and they wanted to know why I got so upset when the skaters fell. It just breaks my heart to think of all of their hard work and their hopes and dreams and then to see them fall. It is such a beautiful sport, and I'm sure you and your daughter have such wonderful memories of her ice skating competitions. It sounds like she had some really cute routines, and she is such a doll. What a great idea to make that pillow. She's going to love that. It's been warmer here lately, but we're getting some cold weather back this coming week. I'm not sure I could survive all of that snow y'all have!! laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-5816445015622827672010-01-24T20:30:39.690-06:002010-01-24T20:30:39.690-06:00AWE!

Ohhh...your Katie is just fabu...Hi sweet friend...<br /><br />Ohhh...your Katie is just fabulous! I would have loved to see her ice skate in person! I think I told you that I love ice skating and always watch it when it comes on TV. It's just so romantic! Such grace and style!!! Katie's costume for the "Gypsy Rose" piece is sooo cute! I would have had so much fun helping to plan the costumes!!! More fun planning them...than sewing them though! Hehe! Her red velvet costume is gorgeous! Cindy, she is going to love that beautiful heart pillow that you made her for Valentine's Day...what a great idea! Great way to save and enjoy those sweet memories!!! Does she still skate? I have to admit that I've never even had on a pair of ice skates...now roller skates is another story! Hehe! I used to spend many a hour roller skating at our local Roller Rink! I wasn't very good at it but sure had fun nevertheless! <br /><br />Well Darlin'...we are about to take off to town! Need to go for groceries. We're having a wind storm delux outside! I really even hate getting out in it! There's so much dirt in the air you can hardly see...it looks like the dustbowl! YUK!!! I'll talk to you later, sweet girl!<br /><br />Love ya,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-91775443119311928172010-01-24T12:50:02.093-06:002010-01-24T12:50:02.093-06:00Cindy, this is my very favorite spectator sport. ...Cindy, this is my very favorite spectator sport. I love to watch ice skating! How wonderful that your daughter was a skater and that you got to enjoy this on a regular basis. <br /><br />I think that is so sweet to make the heart out of her fabric. Those days must have been so dear to her. She was and is such a pretty girl, and I bet there was nothing like seeing her on the ice or her skating on the ice. <br /><br />Warm hugs across the miles coming straight to you... <br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-7315982454144390392010-01-24T02:27:19.979-06:002010-01-24T02:27:19.979-06:00Your daughter looks beautiful and very skilled in ...Your daughter looks beautiful and very skilled in those pics! My daughter was in figure skating years back and I remember the time commitment and the costumes required. I also like to watch figure skating on TV. Have never gotten to see it live which must be awesome. It will be so close, (yet so far away due to price for tickets) when the Olympics are in my home province next month!<br /><br />DDDining Delighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370693603259645424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-41475177136812433052010-01-24T02:03:54.983-06:002010-01-24T02:03:54.983-06:00We love watching figure skating too.

Your comment on my post made me smile. ...Hi Cindy..<br />Your comment on my post made me smile. Thank you so much for the compliment on my children. But..the biggest compliment you paid me is the one saying I was so much like your mother. I am honored. It has even made me feel better about myself. I am afraid I dwell too much on "what might have been" from time to time. I guess that is to be expected after 43 years. :) You made me feel so good. Thank you. <br /><br />I am still knee deep in paint around here but the color is making my home feel full of sunshine, which is fine for these dark days but..not so sure when the temp here reaches triple digit. <br />Please do tell your Mom hello for me. <br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-24242139280269158182010-01-23T21:31:32.899-06:002010-01-23T21:31:32.899-06:00Your daughter is beautiful.

Your daughter looked so lovely on the ice!<br />What a wonderful idea, to use bits of the old costume fabric to make pillows. Excellent idea! years ago, my Mom made a small quilt for me with fabrics from clothes she had made when I was a little girl; it was such fun to recognize so many of them.<br /><br />This pillow will bring back lots of memories for your Katie!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-7724544004068230102010-01-23T20:05:35.668-06:002010-01-23T20:05:35.668-06:00I love figure skating!~ Great photo scanning~ Than...I love figure skating!~ Great photo scanning~ Thanks for stopping by, my yes thought provoking post~!

What a great idea to make a pillow from some of the left over costume fabric! Did she keep her costumes? My daughter used to compete in Irish step-dancing. When she retired from competition a few months before leaving for college, we only kept the first (and favorite) solo dress.

I think it's been a couple of years since he played hockey. Last year Gabi, who was 4 at the time wanted to learn to ice skate. Steve the hockey player proceeded to give her lessons. I think they just played and skated for awhile and she didn't really do much, but she did have fun and so did he.PAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891387278850772808noreply@blogger.com
