Time sure flies

I can not believe that March is almost over. I have been working in the yard a little bit. My body doesn't allow me to work more than 15 or 20 minutes at one time.

I have started working on a baby quilt for my grand daughter Shelby. Yes I am going to be a great grandma. I am so excited. She is having a boy. I think everyone is ready for that.

Bailey gets her drivers license on saturday. I can't believe that she is that old already.

We are planning a 2 week vacation the first of June and of course we are going north to Ohio. Michael really would like to get a small mini farm when he retires in a couple years. That way he can have a nice garden and some dirty little chickens. I would love to be able to put in a nice big flower garden with a bench to make it a wonderful place to sit and have coffee or just to sit and ponder the way life is.

No pictures this time. Maybe next.

Par's pillow cases


I hate time changes

It is the 13th of March already, the time has changed and I just hate it. Seems like it always gets my body clock messed up.
Par was here the weekend before his birthday and put down a new lamnate floor for us. It turned out great. Everyone that has seen it says what a wonderful job he did and how great it looks.
As usual I sew something every day. I sent a new quilt home with Par when he went home for his BD. This week I worked on pillow shams for him. He thinks they look wonderful.

Spring is almost here.... YEAH!

I know I said I would update more often but I just can't seem to remember to do it.
I have been doing pretty good physically. My eye doctor sent me to a specialist for macula degeneration because it had gotten prgressivly worse.
I went to see him a couple days ago and got some good news. The type I have is rare and should not get any worse then it is now.
Going to Lakeland Fl. tomorrow to a quilt show with a couple of friends. That should be a great day.
I promise I will try harder

Happy NewYear

Boy time sure does fly when you are having fun! This past year has not been great health wise. In April I haad to have surgery on my shoulder and then in December I had to have carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand. I get my stitches out on Wed. and I sure will be glad. I can't wait to put lotion on my hands. They are so dry.

My goals for the new year is to get all my ufo's and wip's done before I start any thing else. I sew on something everday but some times it just seems like I am not getting much accomplished.

I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and a safe new year.

OMG




I can't believe it is December already. I have been so busy with making samples for the Quilted Lily that I haven't gotten any thing made for myself.
I went on vacation to Ohio the last two weeks in November. It was too long but yet too short. I had 3 thanksgiving dinners, got to spend some time with my friend Ann in Amish county. That was the only time that I got to do any sewing. The picture I'm posting is what I started while visiting with Ann. I finally got it finished today. sure seems like there was a lot of work to get it from sart to finish.
The other picture is of my oldest son Parnelli and his girls: Shelby (20) and Bailey (16). and then there is the visiters that we had in our back yard a weekk ago.
I am going to be having carpitunnel surgery on the 14th. then maybe I will be able to go without surgery for a while. I am going to try to update more often. I just need to slow down and do it atleast a couple times a month.
