A Berry Good Day

Actually, this was about a week or so ago, but it was a berry good day. Two of my quilting friends came to my house and we made strawberry pie. It's been a long time since I had made a pie crust. The pies looked great, and we all had a piece of pie when we were finished.





This little cutie came to my house today with her mom and sister. I had called Jodie to ask for help with my new Cricut Expression. I was so happy that she could come today. We unpacked the Expression, and checked it out. Thankfully this one worked perfectly! I had purchased one last December and had not unpacked it til about three weeks ago. Unfortunately, it did not cut at all. So Provo craft sent me a replacement! Now I just need to get working on my scrapbook pages.

So all in all, it was a BERRY GOOD DAY!!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

This is a picture of my daughter and husband. She didn't have a lot of time to spend with him today, so I made sure to take a pic before she left to go back to college. Happy Father's Day to all the great Dads out there!

NQA - Columbus, Ohio

Wow, it's been a long time since I updated. I've been busy! I made another shop sample, my daughter has been home for a week, and I got to go to NQA in Columbus.
I love going to the vendors! The quilts where lovely as well. We started at 8 am and didn't get home til 7:30 pm.

What fun! I spent more than I should have, but I've not been buying fabric or patterns for a couple of months. I didn't do too much damage to the credit card. Besides, if I don't help the economy, who will?

Sara and I have had a very busy week. We've been trying to get all her medical visits in the one week. We've done a good job. Now she'll be returning to Columbus to start summer school.

Just checking in with everyone. I'll try to update more regularly after Sara goes back to school.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!

Today is my lovely daughter's birthday. It is the first time in twenty years that we have not been together. Last year she was able to finish her freshman year at college and return home just in time for her day. Even though we will celebrate when she comes home, I would really like to see her today!


I love you, Sara!

New Day, New Start

I'm starting a new project today. I'm going to use the "Tom & Jerry" fabric I found at the LQS. I just couldn't resist. I know I have a ton of UFOs, but really, they are UFOs for a reason! Maybe one of these days I'll take an inventory of UFOs. Opps, that might not be a good idea. I've seen the boxes where they are all stored. Maybe I could do a new project and then an old one. Any suggestions? Do I just have to bite the bullet and do them?

I really need to start on my Christmas projects. I read on a blog somewhere that it's only 222 days away. I have at least three Christmas projects I'd like to do before it's time to decorate. Actually, I'd like to have them finished before our guild quilt show.

Sara is Sara. She went to a concert last night with her boyfriend. Dashboard Confessional was playing in downtown Columbus. I guess the tickets were free for OSU students.

Time to run. Maybe I can get Jeff to take me out to eat, and then start my new project!

Finally, Something Quilty

I just finished this quilt top for our local quilt shop. I'm really not a scrappy kind of girl. I find them hard to do, guess I just need more structure.

While we were out for Mother's Day, I snapped a couple photos of Sara. She's not fond of having her picture taken, and that makes it hard for me, since I love to take pictures of her!

Happy Days

So the princess did come home this weekend. She wasn't going to, but changed her mind. I know she wants to do some studying this weekend, that should work out just fine. I am going to work at Material Girl on Saturday, so she will have some alone time on Saturday. Then it's off to Amish Door for a Mother's Day celebration. We all decided to go out to eat on Saturday instead of Sunday.

One of the local proms is this weekend, and I think she will probably go watch the walk-ins. Seems like just yesterday that she was going off to prom herself. Hard to believe that she is about finish her second year at OSU.

I spent my day cleaning up my house. Did some deep cleaning. Now I just need to get into my sewing room and dig it out. I'm working on a project for the shop. As soon as I get a few more blocks done, I'll a take a couple of pictures and post them.
