Our first trip in a very long time was to Asher’s Grade 12 graduation. It was a lovely day and Asher appeared to be enjoying himself throughout all the festivities.

Asher was the performer at the reception following the graduation ceremony and he did a wonderful job, even though they didn’t have appropriate sound equipment. Asher is self-taught on the guitar and Pat says he is very talented.

Asher is also a very talented artist with his paintings and many other hand crafts. I’ve been very happy to be able to share some of my cross stitching supplies with Asher so I made her this cross stitch as a gift.

As always there was a graduation card.

I didn’t make many cards this month but I wanted to be sure to send one to Alex. None of the mug rug patterns really suited so I went online to see what I could find. Obviously I was looking for golfing patterns but I didn’t have any luck. I switched to looking at images and was able to find something that I felt I could copy and this is the result.

In hindsight, I wish I could remember to do some cross hatch quilting prior to adding the appliqué pieces.

I hope Friday the 13th is a happy day for Alex.
