Chihuly Event at the DeYoung

This was our other huge event while I was there (besides the new twins and family)Amazing Antique Boats one with globes and one with various shapes. The best part is they sat on black glass (??) and the glass reflects back the shape, beautiful. This is the boat with various shapes.

An amazing hanging piece, my camera just doesn't do justice to the colors. You couldn't use flash, and they sold only one post card!!

A walk thru a flower garden, again all set on black glass to give more reflection.

a Ceiling filled with sea shapes! Gorgeous!!

Pill Box Delivery

Well my "able to live hormone" pills are here from Madison Wisconsin, they actually compound them there. I feel better today already, let's hope that continues!!

More pics of Calif trip. These are Legoland during the Star Wars weekend:

The Amazing Darth Vadar and one of his peeps.

Footnote:My husband is right next to me in bed while I do this. He's sound asleep and his breathing/snoring sounds just like Vadar's breathing. Maybe we can market this?? It might boost the old stock portfolio back up so we will be able to buy bread when we retire!!

Chewbaca was only there in Lego form, don't know why costume form wasn't there, he's one of my favorite. But amazingly cook in Lego form, I must say!

My favorite of all time, mainly because I relate to her body shape, very much!! Of course when the original movie came out, I was shaped like C3PO!

Making sure you buy as many legos as one possibly can!! Everybody did a fantastic job!! Not sure how much the actual park costs (we had lots of Lego Club coupons, but it is a great day of entertainment, even without the star wars part!!) Great Park!

Suzie and Austin contemplating the next trip to Legoland and/or the gift shop!!! The kid made out like a bandit, but he does love his Legos. His birthday is next month, his present was bought early with his permission, and he does love those big boxes!! Maybe a little lego present in November, I know 11 pieces, he'll be eleven!!

My Meds Cabinet

This is a famous painting by Damien Hirst, it's what mine looks like! (Almost) Alexis Stewart turned me onto this painting. If you all want a great laugh (some vulgar words) listen to Alexis & Jennifer, Sirius Radio (5:00 eastern, 2:00 Pacific) How her mother lets her get away with 7/9s of what she says is beyond me. She is so far from her mother it's hysterical!!

This post was a joke, I know once the meds get straight with my own body, I'll be fine, it's just getting to that step. It's a good thing I don't really have any health issues, because this "we'll try it" stage of medicine is awful!!

New Meds Yet Again!

Well, with the new group of meds, i'm supposed to be like new and this time hopefully it will last!! The dr game me anxiety meds that are connected to menopause, then another pill (hormone) that's taken like a birth control pill, (has different strengths) according to the week of the month, then I'll be getting some hormone creams!! Hopefully with all those toys I'll be back to me. The last couple months were rough. Although when we were in Glacier with no phone, no tv, no computers, I seemed to be fine. But then again, we were there on my one good week a month. Maybe I'll move to Glacier, but getting hormones and other meds up into those mountains but be challenging for UPS. Husband has been great except he thinks the minute you swallow the pill, the next second all issues are gone and wants to restart a social life with friends. It takes a couple of days, I've tried to tell him that. Right now it's taking me at least a whole day to get myself psyched and ready to go to meetings or a football game. But with hormones, hopefully, I'll be my old dopey self soon!! I am going sewing today with a scrapbook group (just 3 of us) and working on my halloween quilt. I had to cancel my state fair quilt, my art gallery quilt behind the glass window, and a few other big projects. Rough stuff!

Halloween Kaffe

Here is the beginnings of my Halloween quilt using a pattern from the new Kaffe book. I sure hope he doesn't read my blog, because not one of my triangles made a square where they meet. Maybe the fabric is hooked on Spook Punch, and the chose not to meet. Yeah, that's the answer!!!




Last night I vowed to not leave the house until I recover from Liposuction, that's the only way I'm going to lose weight!

spell check

Spelling & Grammar errors don't count of Blogs!!

whate doo eye know, my edumacation is from california!

Here they are!!

Connor:

Happy, looks like Dad, likes to spit up when you least expect it!! Giggles in his sleep!

Cassandra:

Sorry about the no clothes, but she's making up for it with her cute Mary Jane socks. She has a couple of different colors. She loves to eat, loves to scream (she'd make a great cheerleader!) smiles a lot, loves to give surprises in her diapers, surprises of many colors!

Not sure which one this is, they are wigglers, but that's dad, no doubt in this world, the Daddy, no mix up genes here!!

Mrs. Doyle with her first grandchilder, flat tummy Mommy and proud Pops, they make a nice family!!One of the beautiful cradles Daddy made for his sweet babies!!

Kaffe is here!

The new book is here!! I'm going to eat dinner with a glass of wine and my new book!! By Peeps!!

Blogspot is going thru meanopause too!

ok, blogger just messed up, left off half of what I wrote and 5 pics. I'm sure my words weren't important.

so, here's the pics -

Glacier first

Avalanche Falls

St Mary's Lodge (our home for 3 nights) on the NE side of park, which is now closed for winter! Closed 9/15

One of the many amazing views from Going to the Sun Road!

Look closely and you will see our bear!! We were right on the other side of the trunk on the left hand side of this pic. He actually was fine with us until a flash went off from a camera, not mine! and then came over his log after us and we all ran. Not what we were supposed to do, but this time we were lucky and he was sleepy!

Kaffe's New Book

It's in transit, due 10/10, but it's already left Greensboro, NC, so could be before due date!!! Can't wait.

Meanopause is better today, we've determined I'm having one good week a month, and this is it, so must cook, clean and put up halloween, befoe the week runs out. I cancelled my whole life for this month and parts of next. I did keep gym, walking, hair coloring (a must) and bible study.

Meanopause

Menopause is mean!! How can a human brain have so so many capabilities that it is able to change your whole persona in one day??? I sure hope this transition isn't going to take forever and that I find a dr that can get a gaggle of meds that work for me!! Otherwise I'm only good for one week a month, as far as being human and coherent!! Thank God I have the best husband and family in the world!! Otherwise, I'd be alone at this point!!

I still haven't gotten our trip pictures ready for posting yet!!

What a Loss!

A sad, sad, sad day. My Mom's all time favorite, we celebrated his birthday, celebrated his first movie, last movie, when he did Butch & Sundance, everything. When I was in Israel, I went to the King David Hotel, just to say I was in the same place as "the man". Condolences to his family from our family especially our Mom!

Leaving on a jet plane!!

Well, I'm off, flying all day today!! The trip from west to east coast is a killer!! It seems like it is 24 hours long instead of 12!! I had a nice visit, had fun at Legoland, enjoyed the babies immensely, and enjoyed Suzie and kid too!! (Austin) He's growing up so fast!! In November he'll be 11 and it seems like yesterday I picked him up for the first time out of his crib and cooood and smiled at me the whole time I was holding him!! Now, he's a very picky eater, loves his legos, loves his cars and is a very smart and good kid!!

After I get home, sort through about 1500 pics, i'll blog with pictures!! Now it's off to Sacramento, and on to a long plane ride to Atlanta, and a hop to Columbia.

And home to my sweet husband, Bogie and Starbucks who I have missed immensely!!

Art @ the DeYoung!

Chihuly Glass at the DeYoung. I knew that he had planned an exhibit before I came, and we ordered timed tickets in advance. This was one of the largest museum exhibits he's ever done. What an amazing talent he has!!! I wish I had one little finger worth of his imagination!! Love, love, love his stuff!! When I get back to Columbia, our art museum has a mini exhibit, two chances to see his things in one month!! Wow, how lucky am I.

Our airport was close due to a crash of a Lear Jet with Travis Barker (Blink 182, not my choice of music, but I do have kids) 4 people died, and 2 are at the Augusta Burn Center. Ken says the airport is back in action. I fly home Wednesday, so just in time. Columbia has never had so much attention, especially the airport!!!

Twins are Adorable!

I saw them!! They are so cute, they made me cry the first second or so!! They are almost 2 months old!! Connor can push himself up a little, and he roles over once, Cassandra can almost get over!! It's just a matter of time. They have figured out how to cry and poop in tandem!! Pics to follow as soon as I get home!!

Star Wars hits Legoland!

We had a great time in Legoland with all the Star Wars characters. The park, or Hollywood, whomever, did a great job!! While everybody was still standing in line waiting for the park to open, the park turned on the music from the bar where Luke met Han Solo, then from every opening in site, characters came out, and the park opened!! The kids and adults all went crazy in line. We were number two in our line!! As soon as I get home, I'll be able to do my pictures! The park is cute too, we didn't make it to their new aquarium, ran out of time. There will be other trips for Austin, so he will get to see it. Now time to get ready to see the twins. I see them tomorrow!! "Anytime after 11:00 a.m." a direct quote from Mom!!

In Calif, through with Glacier

We had the best trip to Glacier Nat'l Park. It was spectacular!! I have over 700 pics, so I need to organize and perge and/or organize again. We have a long list of animals that we saw, including an encounter with a bear!!! Yes, a bear. We hiked a total of 19 miles, that's not a lot to many, but for us it was enough to rub Bengay on our calves about every night!! We also kept looking for Tucks Pads in the general stores, I guess we are getting old!! OH, people who know me well won't believe this next tid bit---I did #1 in the woods 3 times. Sometimes you just got to let go of your phobias!! It wasn't easy, but there was something about that altitude, when I had to go, I had to go!!!
And another tid bit. I found a quilt shop in Kalispell, where the Glacier International Airport is (all two gates!). The shop is called Glacier Quilts. It was AWESOME!!! I spent some bucks there!!! But wow, what inspiration!!
Ok, peeps, Austin has informed us that we are leaving at 5:00 a.m. for Legoland (for 2 nights, and then it's on to see the new twins!!) Got to go!
Pics to follow when I get home, Suzie has an antiquated system here, my 700 pics is libel to blow up her entire system!!

Ahh... Pet Smart we have a problem!!

We've had a medical emergency here at Bogie's house. His most beloved Hedgehog, blew a gasket and his entire inside's were strewn all over the living room this morning. Now, keep in mind Dad reads within inches of this event, and he said he never heard or saw anything!! Anyhow, my evening will be spent on Hedgehog surgery. We have a spare hedgehog, but it doesn't taste near good enough, and he's often ignored!

Well, the insides are on the outside, hmmm... surgery might be required.??

"I promise Mom, I didn't do it, but it sure was a great idea!"

This is the "fall back" Hedgehog, but doesn't have near enough dog koodies on it.

Can't Wait!

PEOPLE - LOOK WHAT'S COMING!!!

You can pre-order on Amazon!! I think it's out in October!!! YUMMY!!

A Real Art Show

I was accepted by the "paint people" they are up for most anything and can't wait to see what a "textile" person might do!! I'm going to be in an art show just like real artists!! whoo hoo!! Got to go sew!!

I have Baby Pics!!!

I have 11 pics of the twins!!! Whoo Hoo!! I would post them but they (the pics) are very grainy and not easy to see! So, you will have to wait another 3 weeks for pics from my camera!! Unless Mom & Dad are able to send pics from somewhere!! Mom is back to her usual small self, flat as a board stomach, she doesn't look like she had twins 1 month ago!! I'm so glad I'm doing my diet thing, and won't be gigantic next to the skinny new Mom!! These babies are adorable, and Casey is definitely the father!!! Proud parents is also obvious!!! I can't wait to see them!!

Bye Beijing Olympics, you did a great job. I hope closing ceremonies are as grand as the opening ones!! I'm sure just as high tech!!

Things

We have such sad relationship news in our family. Two of our very favorite people are choosing different paths. It breaks our hearts and stuns us too. We have no favorites when it comes to these two, both are entirely special and have our love and support!!!!

I sewed yesterday, but not on the state fair quilt. I've had to ponder my waves part of the quilt, I think I'm finished pondering and the solution is to add more waves! So, off I go to sew!

But before I plug in the beast, I've been asked to be in an artists exhibition using vintage windows any way we want!! I have to talk to the organizer, cause my info is second hand, see if those paint people are ready for textiles yet??? But, if she says yes, I think I have some awesome ideas!! This event happens in October, same as the State Fair, and I'll be gone most of Sept, so I guess I need to get cracken!! Plus I'm doing a craft bazaar with my sister in November, and we have Gamecock football mixed in there too, plus my Halloween party, eeeeeks, got to go people!!

Let me just say --Great move Obama!!!

State Fair Quilt

Well, I sewed my amber waves on my quilt. I'm thinking they are too far apart, (about 2 inches) they maybe need to be 1/2 inch apart otherwise they waves will get lost when I couch the "peace bird" over it. None of this will really show up in pics yet. I did my waves in red, how brave of me.

oh no, Ken has a hearing he can't wear his Chevy Chase boots to work, plus he has to wear long pants and a tie!!!

maybe 4th time's a charm!

Here's my hiker channelling Chevy Chase in European Vacation (Oktoberfest). He's breaking in his hiking boots, getting ready for Glacierfest!! He's walking around downtown like this in 90+ degrees weather!! I'm wearing mine today but in the privacy of my own home!!

These are a sampling of my dirt collection! I've got dirt or sand or salt from all over the world. Martha did this years ago, and I picked it up about 6 years ago. I still have to put my Italy and Paris dirt in bottles. The labels are Martha's, beautiful.!!

Our heron is back. We saw him Sunday, yesterday I saw him cleaning himself and this morning he was on our boat. I was so afraid somebody had hurt him. He's lived in our cove for at least 10 years!!

URG

What the *&$#@ is wrong with blogger?? This will be my 4th try to post pictures!

Channelling Chevy

I know you all have heard of European Vacation when Chevy Chase was at Octoberfest, well we here in SC do Glacierfest. Ken is

Olympics

Whoooo Shawn Johnson!! You go girl!!

USA is proud of you and all your teammates!!!

What a great Olympics for you!!

Olympics

Yeah Woman's Gymnastics!

Gold for: Nastia Liukin

Silver for: Shawn Johnson

Bronze for the 12 year old girl from China, isn't she lucking she most probably has 2 more Olympics she can participate in and win different medals!!

Hooray Ladies!!! Our girls were also very gracious and well behaved!!

Congrats!!

State Fair Quilt

Well, with some tweaking, ironing, this my be the first draft for my State Fair Quilt. I'm going to work on it after the gym today. The flag part is an interpretation of a Jasper Johns painting. Then I'm going to quilt in the strips area wavey lines in red. Then on top of all that I plan to couch in black(not very boldly) the "peace bird" from a Picasso painting. Going to call it "Amber Waves of Peace" Hopefully, it will all work, we'll see.

Still no Heron !! Hope he's ok!

Bald Eagle

We saw a Bald Eagle last night!!! We have several up here on the lake, but I haven't seen one in about a year. Larry & Ruth have one that lives close to their cove, they see him quite often. Speaking of birds, I haven't heard our Heron or seen him in about two weeks!! I hope he's ok. We see him at least one a day, and here him alot.
Speaking of no shows - no baby pics of the twins yet!!!! They are going to be in college before I see pics!!! I guess Mom & Dad have their hands full! When I get there, I'll take tons of pics, don't you worry!!

I'm on my new Dell Laptop

It's great, but I have to move all my stuff from one computer to another now. Lots of tedious work!! I just discovered the Tokyo International Quilt Festival. That is a wish if I ever knew one!! I will go for sure one day!! Their talent is unbelievable!!! Speaking of unbelievable, the Olympics opening ceremonies, was also another jaw opener!!! The technology along with majesty was awesome!!! Not enough adjectives to describe it all!! Ok my peeeps, I'm going to unload one computer and fill up another!!

Going Hi Tech!!

I got a new laptop!! Well, it will be here Thursday. I bought a new Dell at Best Buy with their back to school sales and no sales tax weekend. Got a goooood deal!! But it has to be shipped from a warehouse, and they are all of stock at the stores!! The "computer shoppers" had their own line and you had to follow the blue line on the carpet at the store to get to that line, then you had to sign up to wait for a sales clerk, highly busy!!! Anyhow, I got one, now I can download pics and blogs while we are in Glacier and Calif next month!! Just like the big kids!!
It has been soooo hot here and going to be again this whole week, everybody is hunkered down and staying cool indoors!! My meds have been totally whacky and my blood pressure has been doing weird stuff probably because of the meds. Anyhow, going to gym today and grocery shopping - that's it!!
Our sweet Lili is in Charleston getting their apt set up to go back to school. She's a sophomore?!!! Plus Austin starts back TOMORROW and he's going in the 5th grade, where has time flown!!!????
Ok, got to go to Gym!!

Artist Block

I guess you can't read this, this is the best bumber sticker in a long time --- I haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister!! What a hoot!! Just kidding Julie and Suzie!!

I have had the worst creative block. Couldn't get anything to excite me, until now!! I've changed my quilt idea for the state fair 2000 times. The fair is going to come and go if I don't watch out!! So, whatcha think of "Amber Waves of Peace"???? Cool, I think, see below


My inspiration, Jasper Johns, then use applique to build a Picasso styled dove over the flag,

My start!!

They Are Here!!!

Welcome Casandra & Connor!!!

Babies, Mommy & Daddy are all ok!! Cassy (sp?) 4lb 7 oz 18 inches, Connor 5lb 11 oz, 18 inches, she came out fussing and kicking and he is more subdued, like his Dad!!! Both have lots of dark hair. I'll share pics when I get them!! Micheline had protein in her urine and the levels were too high on Thursday, so off they all went to Sacramento and now they are here!! Everybody will be home in a couple days! Congratulations, Mom & Dad and Grandparents!! and Aunts and Uncles and everybody!!

103!

Our temp today is supposed to be 103 degrees, that's not including the horrible humid heat index. Living inside today!! That is after walking, a pedicure, and a car wash!!! Cleaning out the frig for dinner!! Somebody told me last night that I looked like I had lost weight, she was serious too!!! Hallelujah!!! I downloaded a book onto my i-pod, (a mystery about the painting of the Last Supper!) so off I go on my 3 miles on the off days from the gym!! I changed my mind (again) for my submission to the state fair. I have a sketch of it. I'll have to share with you later!! I finished my pictures of Israel. I have about 1/2 to journal still, but it's all done but the writing!! Only 122 pages!!! It's going to have to be split into 2 volumes weight toooo heavy as it is!! Oh, I e-mailed Kaffe Fassett's family restaurant Nepethene in Big Sur (where the horrible fire was/is). I had seen them on CNN saying they were going to stay and try to save the restaurant and shops, mainly because it's a huge attraction to the area, a huge contribution to the arts and they have generations invested in the business and area. They e-mailed me back, said they had made it and thanks for my concern!! How nice to return my e-mail in the midst of all that turmoil and chaos!!! So everybody, if you're in the Big Sur area, eat and shop at Nepethene!! They need your help!!

5 o'clock somewhere!!

At 5"00 p.m., well actually 4:30 the line-up starts, where's Daddy?? When is Daddy coming home, where's Daddy??

Poor Bogie, doesn't like asparagus!! He ate everything, moved the asparagus and ate around it!!

Ok people, what is this thing?? It's labeled as a Chinese Wedding Basket, but all that I found about those there are made of reeds tightly woven or wood. This one is brass, but not shiny, very dull. It does have oriental characters engraved in it!! So what is this??

Corny People!

This was our sunset last night!! It was a gorgeous night here on Lake Murray!! Jean cooked for Ruth and I (and the spouses) in return for helping her with her antique booth Friday!! We told her for those kind of wages, we'd help anytime. We did have a 30 minute conversation on the different ways to eat corn on the cob. Some eat like a typewriter, some eat round and round, some like me eat it very sporadically and leaving lots of goody still on the cob!! We cracked ourselves up with all this!!

This is my sweet little man, he's not moving this morning, ran his heart out last night and ate a pound of goose doo. He loves the stuff, now he has a very sour tummy!! Maybe he needs a beeno!! Poor guy!! I do have his Halloween costume thought out. It came to me in the middle of the night 2 nights ago. Picture this embroidered on a themed sewn outfit:

"a child's drawing of the Jacks game" + a bird = Jack Sparrow!!

He'll have a pirate hat with dreadlocks of course, and he already has a pirate collar!! He'll be the talk of the party. Of course, he never wins, because Pet Smart (where the parade and party are held) always picks animals that wear their costumes!! Who wants a store bought costume?? Yuk!! Bogie does usually win the crowd favorite though!! 2005 - Desperate House Dog, 2006 - Bogie's Anatomy (had a dr theme!!) and he wore a scrub!! 2007 - he didn't feel like participating!! 2008-Jack Sparrow!!

Where I be at

I've been busy. Today, helping a friend set up her antique booth at a huge shop. She's been into antiques forever, but closed her shop for about the last six months. Now getting some of it into a booth until a new shop becomes available. Have started my State Fair project, it's bright and bold!! Still walking 3 miles 3 times a week and gym + 1 mile other 2 days. Eating very proteiny (sp?) and fiber and do feel less bloated and have lost 2 lbs!! Only *^%$# more to go!! One day I'll be a size 6 again (only 2 sizes to go!!) Just need to shed lost of blubber! But it does keep me warm!!
See ya!

Sunday Wows!!!

This was a day filled with wows! and they didn't even start until 4:00 p.m. our time. Wimbledon was totally amazing. Roger and Rafael! What a match!!!! I've never cried at the end of a tennis match, but I did yesterday. I wanted them both to win! It's not often John McEnroe is at a loss for words, but yesterday his interview at the end with Roger brought me to tears!!

Then, I know you think I'm completely stupid and a real dork, but I watched a Roast of Gene Simmons of Kiss Fame, very raunchy, but really good and his charity (wounded soldiers)benefited and he got a American flag flown over Iraq. I've never seen that man brought to tears but he was when he received that flag. It was awesome. I've always liked Kiss, I'm not a crazy fan, but there's something about a man that did that much and has that much fame that has never drank and never did drugs!! Plus he's a great Dad!!!

Then we had ribs and stuff at our weekend hang out, with our gang of friends. Larry smoked the ribs, they were unbelievable!! The best ribs I've ever had, I was so fuuuuulllll when we got home, but the food, AWESOME!!!

Back to my gym routine everyday!! I'm determined to be skinnier than the Twins Mom when I get to see them in Sept!!! I refuse to be fatter than a pregnant women who just delivered twins at 46 and it's her first baby!!! Have I told you about her, she's done an amazing job!!!!

White Caps on the Lake!!

Last night while getting ready for the 4th fireworks display on our beloved Lake Murray, the wind became so powerful, we had a water show also!!! Check out these waves!!

The Water Show getting prepared and ready!!

It took three men to get three flags down, Stars and Stripes, and Historical SC Flags

Act I

Act II

Act III - back in the corner of the point

Final Scene - A pretty Sunset, let the fireworks began!!

The Fireworks were great, but due to wind, a lot didn't get above tree line, which dampened the show, but it was still pretty!! Happy Birthday America, best wishes for many safe more!!

Fourth!!

Happy 4th of July!! all my people!!

Ice Ice Baby!!

The new ice machine is on it's way!!! woohoo, woohoo!!!

Califorrnia Burnin

My home state is HOT!! There are over 1000 fires burning!! Two days ago it was 800. Suzie and Austin are going on vacation, just up north (because of our lovely gas situations!!) and now have to consider the fires in all their travels. She lives down in Modesto area and they have horrible air quality, when someone opens the door in her office (she's in a little bldg of the campus of Gallo Wines) she is immedialy inundated with smoke. People are really having a hard time. Poor Micheline over 7 months pregnant with twins and having to deal with all this!! People don't throw cigarettes out!! It's bad enough with all the lightening!!
Well re-dedication #83 in progress! I've been fairly good with my dieting, but my two hours a week at the gym are just not cutting it, so I got a walking pass at our local rec center, and am now walking 3 miles on my off days from the gym!! Plus I'm having to tightly schedule my day, so as not to fall prey to the nap monster!!!
Watched the Bucket List last night, very good, very sad, but very good!!! A real feel good movie, everybody rent it!!
Think happy thoughts for Suzie, she is going up to Novato (our home town, yeah Novato High!!, class of 198*&^) tomorrow for a "life celebration" for a father of a very good friend that she has been estranged from for several years. It's going to be tough on her, but something she should and wants to do!! Hang Tough!!

Ice Machine Cometh

Well, after 3 different repair trips for this *^%$#&()( Ice Machine, including the only Kitchen Aid "certified" tech in the state, it still doesn't work!!!! We bought a new ice machine, (the old brand we had before, Scottsman) and it will be delivered before the 4th!! Ugh, I'm serious people at least 6 repairs on this thing a year, after having it replaced by a brand new one a year after purchase, and we have never had it work correctly!! Three years of fighting with Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid, ugh!!! Bring on the Scottsman!!! Our old Scottsman was 15 years old and we never had a kink in service!! Didn't even know we were supposed to clean it!!! It was a goody and highly recommended by the "certified" tech yesterday!! So, maybe we will have great ice again. I realize this isn't a life and death situation, but darn it we paid a lot of money for that thing, and we can surf the Internet on a little disk that fits in the palm of your hand, why can't somebody as big as Whirlpool make an under the counter ice machine that works!!!???

This calls for a heavy sewing day!! Have to get my mind right with the world again!!
See ya!!

Today's Project

Today it's this one! I'm going to bind it and back it in white and it will have fringe on the uneven end and hang from the straight end. I was inspired by a quilt similar to this that I found a long time ago. Always liked it so I tried it myself!!

Sewing for Fun

You know how when you are supposed to be doing something specific, and you end up doing something entirely different and not important to the original task, well that's what I've been doing. I'm supposed to be a stepford wife today, cleaning, cooking, entertaining, nah!!! I spend half the day sewing. I saw a table runner similar to this on someone else's blog, can't even remember now, and said that's cute I think I'll do something like it!! Well, I've been sewing all morning and this is what I came up with:It's going to go in the middle of my table for 4th of July!!
Happy Baby Shower Day to Micheline and Casey out in California!!! The twins will be here in about 2 months!!! They are doing great, all 4 of them, babies and parents!! Can't wait until my sister takes pictures at the shower today, cause I haven't seen anything of this belly yet!! Micheline is not as into minute to minute updates as I am!! I'm think of them all day today!!
