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!

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids. A Valentine's gift from a dear husband. I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores. Just trying to tackle one room at a time. The first room I cleaned was the children's living room. Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over the footboard on my bed. Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

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...
