Some Things That I Am Currently Working On

In between household chores and watching the kids,

I love to have lots of projects lying around so that

my hands and mind are never left idle.

Here is a quilt top that my grandmother gave my mother

many years ago. It was pieced by my great grandmother

and no one in my family knew how to finish it.

So, several years ago, my mother gave it to me

in hopes that I would finish it. I packed it in

a container and forgot about it.

This summer, I am making it my goal to

repair it and then quilt and bind it.

It is a rather small quilt with 4 inch squares so

I know this is an attainable goal.

I have already researched repairing antique quilts

so I am going to find what works best.

This just has some minor damages along a few seams.

I think my bog challenge will be trying to decide how to bind it.

Everyone knows I love to crochet. Now that I have cleaned

my yarns and my craft area, I decided to start

a new project. I found this wonderful pattern

from another blogger.

It was such a unique and simple

pattern I had to try it. This is what I have

accomplished after just 1 day.

It is highly addictive and oh so cute.

And lastly, I am working on finishing this book.

I loved Twilight that I could not put it down and

finished it in 2 days. Then I got to New Moon and

it was more difficult for me to get into, but I finished it.

Now I am reading Eclipse which is a lot like Twilight,

but I have not had a lot

of time to read. I fear if I pick it up, I will not get any

of my chores done. What is a girl to do?

Welcome to the world of Twillight readers. (: I have some obsessed friends - who got to me to start reading last October. You'll be ready for the next movie due out in November. (: Although I don't like that it's a teenage love story (wish it was college age at least) I do like how absorbing it is and that a Mormon Mom wrote it and has made tons of money from it!

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house. I was making dinner for the missionaries. No my dinner was not scary! I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards. I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce. Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do. Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me. To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying. Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up. He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth. He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early. I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears. But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby. Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her. Her lower lip had completely swollen up. This was our first experience with a...
