'THE' quilt!!

ahh - I have had a few days off from sewing as I am reorganizing my sewing room. Moving stuff - thinning stuff - getting rid of stuff (hopefully). It's amazing just how much 'stuff' I have accumulated over the years. We have the snowmen stuff, the Santa stuff, beads, STAMPS...up the wazoo on those. So it's off to Craig's List or to freecycle for this shtuff!! I have fabric that I know I will NEVER use - but someone will ...won't they?? Of course these 2 trips to WHTFD - buying MORE fabric - but I get the deals of the century - yardage galore - for .50 a piece!!! Can't beat that!
So the quilt passed when I shared it on Monday at Erin's...the kids asked - do you REALLY want to give it away?? It was a true labor of love!! So here it is... it will be really nice on a Queen size bed - but might work on a King too!! And the verdict is out on tying or machine quilting!I have a Harley corner for Jonathan and a sheep corner for Erin....It really was so much fun to do this!!
Enjoy, and see you in cyberspace!!

Spring is in the air.....

Wedding shower today for my future daughter in law.....what a great time - and what great friends she has!! So down to earth - Dominick came along - was a little noisy on the way down - but finally conked out with 15 min left in the ride - home trip was better....he was so handsome today!!
Still dealing with moody children - (singular or plural) that makes me sad. Hopefully we can put a lid on this - and move forward.
Household projects continue to grow - but the front door has been primed and is waiting for paint tomorrow...and the garage mess just keeps growing...now the car is back outside - thanks to the cleaning of sister's garage...Why me???
My project for the Jack and Jill next month is coming along, at least that gives me something to do - in my sewing room - alone - with just my little TV...many many hours have been spent here!! I am toying with re organizing my sewing room, and making better use of my space - that ought to go over real big with the helpers here. May have to just do it all myself!!!
Real Estate is going well...closing on Friday - cha ching!! And hopefully an offer coming in tomorrow.Double cha ching...finally. Couldn't do much with the rental commission, so that just got put away...
So another Sat comes to a close..a happy day...but still concerned about Chantal - haven't seen her for a few days, as she is still so uncomfortable. Maybe tomorrow or Monday...keeping her and Brian in my prayers!!
