Las Vegas

The Las Vegas trip has been cancelled, at least for now. I have so much going on at work, that I just can't take the time off right now. I re-subscribed to Love of Quilting, and I got the first issue in the mail on Thursday. Since looking through it Friday night, I am just itching to do some quilting. I have a crochet and a knitting project going, and just finished Cory and Ivey's wedding album, so my plate is pretty full. Anyone know where I might be able to buy a couple extra days this month?

There are not enough hours...

I have been so busy, that I haven't had any time to post. I am working 12 and 14 hours a day and there are so many others things going on. Weddings, birthday parties, golf tournaments, and on and on and on. There just never seem to be enough hours in the day to do all the things that you want to do. And, for me, the days seem to get shorter and shorter. I am still working on the Grandmother's Flower Garden, but I am on hold for other projects right now. I finished the art quilt for Parker and Tiffany and it turned out great! I want to start some Christmas projects, but I have to get some things organized first. Randy and I are going to Vegas the end of May to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and I am trying to get things in order at work, so that I can take that time off. Whew!

Dolls and Stuff

I love the dolls on Karen's blog. She is so talented! I tried to make dolls a few years back, but I just didn't think they were very pretty. They were not prims, just regular dolls. Would love to take a class on that, and make some for my friends grandchildren, and that little GRANDDAUGHTER I hope to have one of these days!

Surgery YIKES!

I had the dental surgery on Wednesday, and I am here to tell you, it was not pleasant, and I hope never to do it again. With all the technology they have today, there should be a better way. In addition, I am wearing a retainer that makes me talk like my 2 front teeth are missing. Not very funny at my age! But, the good part is that when I feel like it, I can sew. Today has been my best day so far, and I have done some quilting. And when I don't feel like it, I can surf the quilting blogs!

A Quilting Weekend

I am so looking forward to the weekend! My little angel grandbaby will be here, but he is my best quilting buddy! He helps me, gives me his opinion on how things look, and also keeps me laughing. I am not sure what is better medicine for me, Beany or my quilting. I am going to finish the art quilt and the Dresden plate this weekend, and continue working on the GRG, which is now considered my masterpiece. Isn't quilting the best? Next to grandchildren I mean.

Catching Up

What a week! I have been running like a mad woman for the past 2 weeks, and it seems that I may be doing it for a while. There are just never enough hours in the day, and then the days just fly by! The month of January has been a complete blur! But then, most of 2007 was also! Don't you wish that we could slow down, and live like people did years ago before all the technology took control? I know that I do! My GRG is coming along beautifully, better than ever before, and yesterday, while sewing with my Mom, I started an art quilt for my son and his fiance. It is a small wall hanging, and so cute. It is a caricature of their dog, Milo. I think that they will love it. I hope to have it finished soon, since it is small. The hand quilting will take the most time. The Dresden plate has taken a back seat to my busy schedule, but is not gone, just on hold. I need 10 extra hours everyday to work on my quilts....can someone find that for me???
