GETTING SOME THINGS DONE :)

I have been making rag quilts without putting the batting in them. To me it is much easier. This one is for my grand baby Arwen Starr. The blanket seems to be the right weight to keep you warm. I will soon make me one. Our Guild is getting ready to give away our Compassion Quilts. Everyone seems to help out with this task. I put binding on 2 of the quilts for donation. This is one I put the binding on. I know I haven't been blogging very much lately, my life is quite busy right now and crazy. I am enjoying the leaves now for the fall. I am really glad we got back our one hour they keep taking away from us in the spring. Is it really necessary?

I am right now working at Joann's Fabric and Craft Store as a fabric cutter. I was hired for seasonal help. This job should help out with the Christmas holidays since the family keeps getting bigger. We sure don't want the stockings to be bare.
This was great timing to take a pic of Arwen. She just happen to spit up as the camera flashed. Gross Arwen!

Here is the little sweet pea under her new rag quilt.
SHHH!

SEWING ROOM

Okay, here is the pics finally of my new sewing room.
This "therapy in session" sign is hanging on my
door to the sewing room. My hubby got it for me. He had my neighbor Mary make it as a surprise for my birthday. Mary is in my guild. I really like the bright colors in it.




Here are the curtains I made. I only have one window.
I found some cute flowery ribbon stuff that make good tie backs for the curtains.

It matches great.









I seem to have a lot of fabric or maybe not enough.




















my cutting table.


Can you see my pink Scooby?





This door caddy is a shoe rack.
It makes a great place to house more sewing stuff. I have one in my bathroom closest for shampoos, soap razors etc.

I also have room for someone to come and sit and visit on this old stool that needs to be repainted. Well I hope you enjoyed the tour.
I am enjoying my new room.

ARWEN, MY LITTLE SWEET PEA!

Yes this is a new pic of my grand baby. Took a few pics on the quilt I made for her in her pretty polk-a-dot dress. The little sweet pea is almost 8 weeks now.

I know there has not been much quilting stuff on my blog lately, I guess Arwen is in my spotlight now. Better put some side blinders on me like they do the horses so I can stay focused. I just LOVE her.

Keep on quiltin',

Transitioning

For the past week I have been painting my old sewing room that used to be my youngest son Kyle's room. (yes, I am a slow painter) He moved back home last July so, I gave him his old room back and moved my sewing room into our sun room. We put all the wicker furniture into the barn for safe keeping. That room is a lot bigger which was nice. Then in Nov. last year he moved out again. (oh the parents revolving door) But now my family seems to be getting so much bigger now with grand baby, grand dogs, grand kitty, girl friends that we need more space for seating when we are all together which seems a lot lately, so I have decided to move back into my sons small room.

My oldest son and his girlfriend moved out the first of May. They wanted to get their own place before the new baby came. So guess what, me and my hubby were empty nesters for a whole month. Yeah you guessed it my youngest son and his girl friend moved back in. I said "your old room is now mine so you will have to move into your brothers old room". Since their move was a fast one we painted that room in 1 day.

I sure have accumulated more fabric. Oh well! I think I will get more sewing done since I can lock people out. hahaha In the sunroom everyone could find me.
Hopefully some pics of new room soon. Got to make my curtains. OH YEAH ! a pic of Arwen.

ARWEN

Such a little SWEET PEA.




Can you tell I'm not getting much sewing done lately?


Until next time,

FINALLY ARWEN IS HERE :D

Our new grandbaby girl is finally here. Arwen Starr was born June 8th, 2009 at 8:25pm.
The little cutie was 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 18 1/2" long. She is doing great just has a little jondace and having to be tested a lot for that.
Me & Jeff just thinks she's a doll. It's nice to have our family growing.
It time to get my hair dye out and cover those grays so I look like a very young grandma. HAHAHAHA...

I'M SO HAPPY! :)

I"M STILL AROUND

Yeah, I know I haven't been posting much these days, I guess my gardening and a lot of life is happening right now. Which is good for the most part at least you know you won't be bored. hahahah!!!!!
We are leaving today on another camping trip for a week. We still don't have our new grandbaby born yet. It will probably happen while we are camping. Only 1 hour & 20 min. from the city so, it won't take long to drive back for the new delivery. COME ON ARWEN!!!!!!!!

Plan on doing some sewing while camping. Going to work on my mystery quilt. So, should have some pics soon.
