Autism and Awesome

What do autism and awesome have in common? Jordan! He is autistic and he is awesome! And Jordan graduates from high school on May 30th 2018. I think his life story should be a movie...you know the kind I mean....it's a story that makes you cry and laugh and fall in love and then laugh and cry because you are in love. Big screen stuff.

So, while we wait for that blockbuster to come out......

I was honored with the task of creating a t-shirt quilt for "Jordan the Amazing."





Can you tell green is his favorite color? Yes it is!



I must admit, this grandma was not prepared for the emotional journey this task was going to take me on. Piecing together his quilt caused me to ponder with pride..oh, so much pride...how this young man got to this place. I wanted his quilt to be as special as his achievement and as amazing as Jordan!













Most importantly, his ever present green jackets had to be included...if you know autism, you understand.





 The well worn shirts tell a story too....if you know autism,
                          you understand.




















A piece of his weighted blanket is in there...if you know autism, you understand.

(I kept the beads in this square)










                                                         


     This quilt tells Jordan's story,
                                   I can't wait to see what happens next!






















As a mom, I am in awe of my daughter who was relentless and used her natural stubbornness and mom wisdom to get the things Jordan needed as a diagnosed child on the spectrum.

           






                       Jordan and his mom are proof that faith,
                             love and family can overcome.

It always amazes me how my customers love their bunnies. 
New pink plaid....so darn cute!
Feedback is so often not just stars but stories. 


Paula said this: "Wow...just wow! The Seller customized a bunny for me and the final product was unbelievable. 

Thank you so very much for a very special, beautifully crafted bunny!"

And Stephanie says: "The item shipped on time, was packed with love and was exactly as described! I purchased this bunny for a friend who just had a baby boy. I had the FP bunny blanket growing up and it was my ultimate favorite lovey i ever had. This replica is PERFECT and brought me back many many years to a lot of special memories. So happy to get to pass on the tradition to my friends newborn little guy. Suzie is amazing and so is her beautiful bunny blankets!"

Honestly.....I love making my bunnies and this is why!

It's been a wild ride


 It's been a wild ride 

The ride on life's roller coaster has brought me back to having time to blog....I am so excited to write my first post in a long, long time.

So much has happened along the way

Sold the business..........

moved back to my beautiful San Diego..........


.
.             
                      ...............hubby graduated college to start a second career as a Physicist.

                                                   Who does that?

Apparently my hubby does! He decided at 50 something it was time to consider a second career....
but physics?

Oh, yes, he really does look like this at times------------>


Especially after hours of grueling  math homework and studying, studying and more studying!

Graduating with honors in Physics is no easy task. Throw in the age factor and life in general, and well, I think you simply have to blog about it. Yep, my hubby is a Physicist....so proud of him!!

There have been plenty of downs after the ups on this roller coaster ride.......isn't there always......I found the scary down parts easier to stomach when I remember the view from the top and see all the endless possibilities!!





            I'm just glad my hubby is buckled in next to me for the ride!!

Lots of exciting things happening in Suzie's Imaginarium too! My "FooFoo" Bunnies have been sent all over the world to be snuggled on by little baby fingers....sigh....
I love little babies!  

Polka dots have become all the rage....
Green Polka Dot....so very sweet!!!




I am so happy to bring this Fisher Price replica bunny blanket to my customers. 
The "love of the bunny" never seizes to amaze me.


I hope this blog finds you happy and well....I look forward to picking up my keyboard again.....I'm buckled in and ready for the next twist or turn....are you?
