Sunday Greetings

Well I haven't up dated in a few days because I was out quilting with my friends. Had a great time and now it's really nice because the sun is out and hot this is how June and July is suppose to be. It's been warm so we thought fruit smoothies would be a great treat. Kelline thought it would be fun so she got the blender out and forgot how to use it. Then when she called for help the wooden spoon got stuck. That's right the spoon is stuck on the blender blades.

All is well though and we had the best fruit smoothies on the deck with the sun betting down it was great.
I sure do love my quilting group we call the Closet Cut Ups we had a great time sewing at Konnies house so much fun I forgot to take photos. We sewed, laughed, sewed some more eat a little ha ha not. I think everyone needs a group of friends like these friends they are simply the best.

Fairy Dust Fabrics Block Of the Month

This is the number one block in the new Fairy Dust Fabrics block of the month program that will run for a year. it is made out of Jinny Beyer,all the background for all the blocks will be the white Fairy Frost and some of the RJR solid line. I will be starting this block in Sept. See my online quilt store FairyDustFabrics.com for more details. This is going to be an easy, fun,and under $10.00 a month to do.

King For A Day

Spencer is a fun kid to have around most of the time. He is 5 soon to be 6 and very smart he loves art so I love this photo of him being good and King For the Day. It's hard to find things for him to do while school is out he has to stay busy most of the time. Art is good. :)

Fun With The Boys At Bounce

The Boys at a Jump Park we had a great time. It was a LPA (Little People Of Amercia)Sunday outing. That is our friend Andrew coming through the tubes first.
Then comes Elliott

Then bringing up the rear is Spencer everyone had a great time and where very tried at the end of the day. Everything was great. We had great fun, got to see some of our good friends that we don't get to see but every couple months and we had great food what more could you ask for on a beautiful Sunday Afternoon.
Life really is good most of the time.

Kimono Ladies

I made these Kimono Ladies today for a row robin that I am doing for a yahoo group that I belong to I would call it Quilting Friends From Afar. They are cute and quick I just had to put the Blondie one in there for me because I have always loved these gowns.

This is a doll quilt that I have made for a quilt forum that I belong to. I have fallen in love with this little quilt the colors, and the fell that it gives me when I look at it. I traced around my hands making a heart in the middle of the lightest part of the quilt then I quilted swirls around the hands, with heart and little swirls in the border

Graduation day For Elliott It's been a long road but we made it. A new road has began. I painted his car with the school colors and 08.It was so much fun I thought that I needed my car painted as well I am the parent after all.

We had dinner at a really good place called the Alligator Soul here is Garrett eat a ham hock because he is such a big ham
After all is said and done we had a good time and Elliott and I went to Senior Spree an all night party put on by the parents. That to was fun.

This is how It Should look

I think this is how it should look in Seattle in the month of June yes sunny and warm would be great not this rain and winter weather that we have been having. Here I sit with my warm fuzzy pink slippers, leg warmers, pink fleece PJ's, a purple fuzzy robe in the middle of June. Feeling like it is winter. Yes i am sure that this will place I waiting but not very patient

The Weather

This is how it has been the last couple of days I think I'm ready for sunny weather.I did get the two quilts done and a couple other things quilted. I will have to say that is a good thing about all this rain. Though I should have been knitting on the Death By Socks socks I did have to get quilts done. There are times I could use another one just like me I could get all kinds of things done. Being a Ceylon would be a good thing.

What Is House Work

I what to think that I an OK house keeper. Lately all I want to do is sew sew and do some more sewing. I don't want to do the laundry, the cooking,cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, weed the flower beds or anything that has the thought of something a wife would do. I think next week will be a better week for house work.
I have three thing on the deck now that I really want done and out of here. My program is finish 4 UFO's {unfinished Projects}before starting a new one. Doesn't seem to be working for me at this moment.Yes I think I have fallen off the wagon. All I want to work on is my Hoffman Challenge and this cute little doll quilt.So as soon as I get these two things done I will get back to the program. When stopping in the middle of your program at like #6 does that mean you have to start back at #1? I having never been to a meeting I was just wondering. Hello My Name Is Shawn and yes I'm a fabric alcoholic I'm sorry but I have no plans of giving up the fabric at this point in my life or anytime soon. As a matter of a fact I think I will plan being one until I'm an old lady and die. Then the kids will have to take care of it. How I have been working this is I have a plastic crate that I load 4-5 unfinished projects into I get those done then I can do a small project while I think about what 4 old projects are going to go into the crate. This has been working for me my UFO's are getting less. This is good I think it is also making realize that I have way to much stash. It's time get rid of some of this fabric, books, and some tools. So I think I am going to have a yard sale right here starting next Wednesday. I will be placing a couple items up for sale like some fabric that I longer want, some books a few tools that I no longer use. It will be fun more details to come very soon.

Today I am getting my Hoffman Challenge quilted this morning so that I can get the embellishment while watching dumb TV. This needs to be done so that I can get it sent by the end of this week. The other thing that needs to be sent this week is also for the Hoffman Challenge is my fat fairy riding on a dragon.
Then I am working on a little doll quilt for a swap that I'm doing. I have done little but never anything this little. I have done things with many pieces though. These blocks went together very quickly though.Each one of these blocks is 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tiny blocks thank goodness I only need 16. Have a great day all :)
