There is beauty in everything

There is beauty in everything 1. Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. 2. You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future. 3. Love ......and you shall be loved. 4. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. 5. All people smile in the same language. 6. A hug is a great gift...one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange. 7. Everyone needs to be loved...especially when t… Continue

The Yearly Physical

Went to the Doc today for my yearly visit. Went over all the blood work reports, and he is recommending a test that I will be taking next January since the insurance will probably not pay for it and at least then I can claim it on the cafeteria plan and get reimbursed for it. (Is is really reimbursement since the money is withheld from the paycheck to start with?) He wants me to start taking a daily aspirin, and to increase my Vitamin D3 to 2,000 units per day (wants me to increase it for DH als… Continue

Thanks Giving

Friend of mine says that between now and Thanksgiving we should wirte one thing a day we're thankful for. So... I am thankful for the family I came from. They helped me be a better person. We never doubted that we were loved and they gave us an excellent education even though it meant many sacrifices on their part. They also gave us a foundation of faith. Growing up I didn't think they were anything special but as I moved around the country and traveled the world I came to realize how truly luck… Continue

"FUNK" Update

I posted twice about being in a "funk"!! I knew that I had numerous things going on over the past year. Issues in my marriage/myself, that remain unresolved and the failed craft fair/business was probably the straw that broke the camels back. Fast forward to now...I'm still struggling with the sewing/quilting. I'm working on a Christmas wall hanging for myself and making progress, but that "spark/excitement" just isn't there. It's really hard to explain. (When I started on this adventure...I fel… Continue

Hi Ho, Hi HO...it is off I go!

I am off to the Skin Doc this AM. I think my wrinkles (Oh excuse me! Make that Character Lines!) across my forehead will be re-arranged when he is through plying his skill with the little knife. My biopsy of “that spot” last Tuesday came back with wording I had hoped NOT to hear. But hear it I did so it is time to get that taken care of. Much like chickens, my life time of sun exposure has come home to roost. Fair skin & a family history of such uglies add fuel to this never ending fire. Th… Continue

My Happy Quilt

I just want to share with you that the 2nd quilt that I made for Project Linus was done in 4 1/2 days. I didn't do anything else, but sew. Yesterday, The Project Linus group had a sewing day doing Xmas stockings for the Armed Servicemen overseas. Wow, was I impressed with all the material that has been donated, plus batting and some made into kits to take home to sew the quilts. Also, made new quilting friends. Tomorrow, DH and I are going to Coeur d'Alene, ID for a few days. Always fun to go ba… Continue

The clock is ticking......his hand is moving.......

Hello everyone, Hope all is well with everyone. Here in Alabama Ida has decided that her time was running out too so I guess she's decided nothing like showing up at the last minute!!!! She's definitely an unwanted visitor. I can't believe Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner. There is the tree to trim( going up this weekend) and more shopping to do.(online more this year). I have to finish quilting the jelly roll strip top before Dec. 1. Class is Dec. 3 to finish it. My mind is… Continue

Strange Fabric Request

I have an almost going on 3 GD that is enthralled with - of all things - porcupines! Uh huh, porcupines. DD & DSIL have taken GD to the Nashville Zoo & the St Louis Zoo at least 5 times in the last 2 yrs. She loves the rodent! DD goes to UTube and GD sits and watches the postings of porcupines there. I've searched but only have found hedge hogs on fabrics. Would anyone know where I could purchase fabric with porcupines on it. I've even searched under the words "woodland creatures" but th… Continue

Aqua Terra wall hanging

I was drawn to the Aqua Terra collection by CT because the colors, browns and reds, were those of my son's undergraduate university, St. Lawrence, in Canton, NY. I wanted to make a wall hanging that reflected his interests in forestry, and in agriculture. He is now a doctoral student in agricultur… Continue

Yea! It's done

It took me a couple of hours each day for the past week to get CT Emilie's floral wall-hanging kit done. This is a super-simple one, but when I have my 19-month old granddaughter here I have to hide everything out of her sight - fabric, pins, scissors, etc. so I couldn't do any quilt… Continue

Looks like an active Monday morning

Lots of new posts for a Monday on QWU. DH comes home tonight after being away at nascar for two consecuative weekends, 12 days in all. I think he heads for Houston in the morning for a day or two. He asks if we miss him but I have to admit life is much easier. My hair is thicker since I haven't had to be pulling it out for the last 12 days. Life is simple with just me and my twelve year old. I need to take advantage of this last day and go finish quilting the baby quilt. I actually had to take c… Continue
