New driver in the family today! One minute my nephew Charlie was playing with toy cars I gave him. Then I blinked...and the next minute he's driving real ones. Whaaaaat?!

Look at this guy! My family and I are thrilled to be celebrating my dad's 92nd birthday today!😄🎂🎈

Rockin' it in June: this is what I'm doing at two o'clock in the morning!💪👊

Happiness is reconnecting with my precious angels! Team TayBeth are proof that a Longhorn and an Aggie can still be friends.

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Gotta keep on running to get t-shirts for my next quilt! Good luck everyone! #cap10k

@5arahjecker @REKCEJ1 So cool! That absolutely warms my heart! (Coincidentally, I hiked there today!)

New Year's Day: A Haiku
My Torchy's taco/is even better with a /Schulz and two Forsters.

Blessings to all for a wonderful 2019!

Six years ago today I picked up this cutie at Austin Pets Alive, a no-kill rescue shelter. Gracie has been a great little pal and a fun hiking buddy! We celebrated yesterday with a hike at Lake Georgetown, before this weekend's cold weather! 🐕🐾#muttsaremagnificent

It was freeeeezing outside tonight, but it absolutely warmed my heart to see these precious angels again! 😄❤ To support Michael and the UT-Dallas Comets 🏀and to visit with such bright and beautiful young ladies -- my week is already made!

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

@cherokeefordd Thanks! I've been quite the quilting fool this year, yes?

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

My sister hits the half-century mark today! I got out the ol' sewing machine again and put together a quilt with 50 different fabrics, plus photos of the important people (and pets!) in her life. Happy 50th, Martha Elizabeth Gazella-Taylor! 🎂

@MomofPearl2000 Thanks!

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

@kprescottRHS Thanks! Doing what I can to win her over 😉

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

No tricks for me on Halloween...just a total treat to support the awesome Elan McCall as her Horned Frogs visited Texas this evening AND to visit with all these precious angels! I'm one proud and blessed woman to know these wonderful young ladies! 😃👏🎃

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Divided loyalties! I love my Longhorns...but I love the fabulous Katy Northcut (RHS '18), too! So thrilled and proud to watch her compete today! 😁👏

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Time for college football! My dad (91 yrs old, as of a few weeks ago!) is ready!

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Thank you to Cherokee and her family for entrusting me with both of these memory quilt projects! I loved working on them! I'll be ready in four years to make one of all your SHSU t-shirts!

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Happy First Day of School! 👏📚🔬📏 Best wishes to the Rouse Raider class of 2019 (and all my precious angels headed to college)! Go to https://t.co/xV7Kn9DMau for old time's sake !

[Teresa Gazella @Ms_Gazella]

Just delivered my first commissioned work to the one and only Cherokee Ford! I had a lot of fun turning her four years of Rouse t-shirts into a memory quilt. 😀🤞🧵One month from now it will be in a Sam Houston State dorm... 😧
