It’s true. I haven’t made quilts for my two future grandsons, due next month on March 4 and March 13. For that matter, I haven’t made quilts for my granddaughters either, who are nearly 3 and 5. Poor kids. But, I did manage to make some simple baby blankets for the new babies. Very simple. Just a quilt panel sewed to some minky with their names appliqued to the back … Continue reading
My blog has been quiet but I’ve been busy, busy! Since Christmas I spent loads of time helping my mother pack up her belongings and move from a big house to a condo. That left me sore and tired, I can tell you! But, thankfully, not too tired because during that same time period, I’ve been plotting and planning a baby shower for DD#1. She is expecting her first baby! … Continue reading
Today we made major strides on the homeschool side of the room. The grandkids are so excited about this. And they are sure to get plenty of art supplies from grandma. And the grandgirls are plenty interested in my side of the room. This is going to be fun! … Continue reading
The third day of the New Year. Another day spent helping my mom, although I did get home a little earlier today. Still, very tired from some heavy duty work. I spent the rest of the day blowing my nose due to dust allergies. Well, I wasn’t going to let that hold me back. I got in the studio to work on emptying a few more boxes. Granted, I’m still … Continue reading
Day two of the New Year. Day two of my new studio! I spent yesterday evening unpacking my main quilting fabric (prints and batiks) and putting it into the microscope cabinet. It has 30 cubbyholes. I had packed away two cubbyholes of fabric into each small size U-Haul boxes (which I numbered so I would know where to put them back), so it was a simple matter of filling the … Continue reading
The room is finished! The new floor is in! January 1, 2019 is move-in day for our new studio and homeschool room. I can’t wait! I think it will be so much fun to be working on my side of the room while watching my daughter homeschool her two daughters. But first I just had to enjoy the new floor for a few days. Just beautiful! Thank you, Eric for … Continue reading
Three years ago my world changed. My sweet hubby unexpectedly left this earth and went to heaven. What an awful day. So much changed that day. Some changes were expected. A lot of changes took me by surprise. Yes, it still hurts, and I miss him something dreadful. He was my closest friend: the one who stuck by me no matter what, the one who cheered me on, the one … Continue reading
I’m tired, and I’m claiming victory! I think I have pretty much everything packed into boxes and ready to be stored away. This process took somewhat longer than I expected! I definitely forgot that I had some of that stuff. I’m thankful for my son-in-law, Eric, who has been storing this all away in his mom’s basement (thanks, Jill!). The library card catalog drawers are over there now, along with … Continue reading
