Fast Forward to June 2011

Well, it is already June 2011 and I still don't have a spinning wheel. But that is OK with me. I decided it would not be "my thing". I have discovered what "my thing" is and it is quilting. I love love love everything about it. It has been three years since I started quilting and I finally have my sewing room the way I want it. I have been quilting like crazy and hope to post all the quilts I have made on my blog.

The best part of quilting is sharing the craft. My dear friend Cheryl got me interested in quilting. She is like a second mom to me. My mom lives in Canada so it is wonderful to have such a dear friend here in Texas. The other great part of being friends with Cheryl is that I also acquired an Aunt. Her name is Aunt Terry, Cheryl's sister. She also quilts. My favorite thing to do is head out on a Saturday morning and go to quilt stores with both of them. We always have a great time.

This summer I will be learning how to do applique. I can't wait.

I recently sent out 7 quilt tops out to be quilted and cannot wait to get them back. One of the quilts is my favorite. I will have to post pictures at a later time because they are still on the camera. One of the quilts is for my 12 year old son. I finished his quilt in March and just haven't had time to send it out and he keeps asking me when his quilt will be finished. I'm so pleased that he loves it so much that he can't wait to use. Again, I will post a picture of it when it gets back.

I'm heading to Connecticut next week and plan to spend some time in New York too. I look forward to going quilt shopping. My cousin has already asked a quilting friend of hers where some shops are. Yeah!

Well, until next time happy crafting.

It has been a while!

I've decided to start blogging again. I've been doing so much over the last year it has been crazy. I started working at the kids' school as the Receptionist and loved it. But this year I am going to be a Life Skills Aide. I'm really looking forward to this position and can't wait to work with my good friend and neighbor.

Since the last time I posted I have taking up quilting and I'm so addicted. So much so that when my friend Alanna, bless her heart, decided to help me clean my craft room/guest room, we discovered that I had 18 quilt kits to make. Plus, I had fabric for other projects. Once I get a chance I will post before and after pictures.

I've knit some but not a wholelot. I started to make some Christmas gifts hoping to be done by Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, I've asked my husband if he would purchase a spinning wheel for me. I even said it can be for my birthday and Christmas. So I'm looking for a wheel. I can't wait. I want to go to Jacob's Reward and spin with the ladies in the Little Red Barn.

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day so I guess I can't get caught up in a day either. So I will start posting more often.

Happy Stitching Friends!!

Things are looking up!

Tomorrow I am going to spend the morning with the family attending my son's all-star hockey and my other son's basketball games. Then I'm off for a day of scrapbooking. I cannot wait. I love doing this type of thing because it brings back memories and you can get alot accomplished.

Things are looking up, I got some good news today that I can't discuss right now but I am so excited about it. I know, if I can't discuss it why say anything. Well, I just wanted to point out the fact that things happen for a reason.

Sometimes you can do something or say something that a person hears or sees and that leads to other things. So when I can discuss this I will but I'm just happy to say that I'm so happy. And no, I'm not pregnant!! That would not be happy news when I'm about to turn 40.
