Just Sharing

Well it has been a few days since I last posted..

I just wanted to share a photo of my 2 grandsons. They would not sit any closer together. Said they didn't want people to think they liked each other. HA-HA This is a family joke..

Anyway, Justin is on the right and Zack on the left. They are 8 months apart in age, with Justin being the oldest. He is 21 and Zack will be 21 in 22 more days. They both think they are all grown up.. HA! How little they know.  They both are good kids in their own way.

Life is harder for this generation than when I was that

age. But they will be fine..

Till next time...

Just Wondering

How do you manage to get things done? IE: sewing projects, quilting on a top etc? Seems these days I can't even get a piece of fabric cut let alone make a project from it.
I have been very blessed with more than enough fabric, battings, threads, sewing machines, rulers, cutters, cutting mats and the list goes on. Yet I can't seem to get one piece of material to a machine. I feel like I should have a huge yard sale and move on to another stage of life.
So if someone would please share with me how you get anything done or what you do to keep motivated please do tell me. I am at my wits end.

Ramblings- not quilty

Geesh!! where does the time go? Seems I get behind so fast.

Charter finally got me back up with my email. Who knows what they had done.

Life is changing again it seems. Kids and grand kids, need I say more? Hopefully things will be evened out soon. We all do what is needed for family, if not we should.

My youngest Granddaughter, whom I will call Double Dan, called me last evening to share her joy and happiness with me. She won another BIKE at school. She was the top girl seller in the school in the fundraiser. This is the 2ND time she has been top seller. She is a go getter for sure.

My great grand son was with me for a few hours yesterday. He sure is growing fast. The picture is of him with his daddy and his aunt on trick or treat night. All he wanted was the candy from me and then he was ready to go out the door. Typical child to say the least.

Till next time

Lets have a do over!!

After many many months of not posting, I will try this again.
I have a very hard time of really knowing what to blog about. A writer I am not!!

Anyway, life has been fair to me health wise and other wise. At the present time hubby and i are living alone, which seems very odd. The first time in 27 years, this is a 2nd marriage for both of us.

My quilting has been pretty much on hold for too many days, weeks, months. And I do hope this will change starting today. I happened on the tiny tote instructions so I will give that a try for my Great-grands as a halloween treat bag. When I get them done I will post a picture of them.

Well this is all for now and will do better with the blogging..

Till next time..

Moving forward

Seems the days get past me all to quickly. Maybe it is because I move to slowly now.
Do you think?
None the less I have things planned for today.

1. Sort and press fabric squares and strip to get ready for some power sewing.

2. Make binding for 2 quilts that have been done for about a year. I think it is time to get these out of the way.

3. Organize some of my suplies for quilting,

Once I get these done it will be okay for me to do something new..

Till next time.....

On to a New Day

Today will be a good day!! I will be playing with fabrics a little bit and doing some purging around here.

Goals for my day:

1.Read Bible study notes from Wednesday night service

2.Get fabrics chosen and cut for Doll Quit Swap

3. Clean out another closet.

4. Pick up fabrics. This will be later today..


Till next time....

A new take on goals

In my reading of many blogs the theme seems to be my goals for the year!! And when they don't meet them all they beat themeselves up.
So with that in mind, I plan on doing my goal for the day list. This seems to be
a more doable way for me. If I have at least 3 things to make progress on daily I will attain my expected end results in a more relaxed fashion.
The things I do are supposed to be fun and relaxing. So why do I think I have to do
as everyone else and put mounds of stress on me? I don't!! Life is not a race it is an adventure, in some respects. With that being said.
Here are my goals for the day:

1. Select my pattern for a doll bed quilt swap. ( My thinking how can I choose fabric if I don't have a patten in mind)

2. Finish 6 more QAYG blocks to send to Jay in Nebraska for his nursing home project.

3. Clean out my bedroon closet.


Now this is a very doable list for me.

Till next time...........
