Good Morning

Just stopping in. Not too much has been going on. Lou and I still have a little bit of a cold, mostly just a cough once in awhile. Glad we are slowly getting better.

October is here

Fall is here, the leaves are falling off the trees, especially the past couple of days with the strong winds we have had. Lou and I have both come down with nasty colds that we have been fighting for a week now. Will be glad when we are healthy again. Our energy is getting zapped. 
Have the house decorated for Halloween with a few things. Also planning for Thanksgiving and picking up a few things each week. 

Camping 2011

We went on our camping trip for 3 days. Tuesday it was rainy off and on but the steady rain held off until we got things set up and then it poured for 3 hours. We discovered that our new tent leaks! :(  The next 2 days that we were there the weather was beautiful. We went for a 4-wheeler ride on both days. Had a really great time and now looking forward to some more camping trips next summer.

This is a small waterfall under a bridge we went across while 4-wheeler. Very peaceful & serene here.

RIP Joey

On May 26 I had to put my Joey to sleep. For 2 weeks he was suffering from acute renal failure. The vet did everything possible to save him and make him better. It was very difficult for me as Joey was the first pet that was "mine". I miss him so much. He had such a good & fun personality. RIP Joey and we will see each other again sometime. Take care my friend and behave yourself. I love you my Jo-Jo

UFO Back from the quilters

I got another UFO back from the quilters today. As usual she did an excellent job with the quilting.

Nascar Season

Nascar Season strarts this week-end. I hope my favorite driver will do better this year than he did last year. And I also hope Jimmie Johnson does NOT win it again this year {sorry sis}

Snowball Wall Hanging

I finally finished my Snowball wall hanging. It was meant to be a small lap quilt but I liked the colors so much and decided to make it into a wall hanging for my sewing room.

Quilts I have made

Here are some more quilts that I have made over the years.

Winter in Maine

Here is a pic of what the storm on Friday left on our deck! There is talk of ANOTHER storm heading our way this coming Thursday. We haven't had this much snow for many years.

Quilts to show off

Here are 2 quilts that I have done over the years. The first is a lap quilt. The pattern is called Crossing Paths. I really enjoyed making this quilt, so much that I made 3 of them. One for me and the other two I gave as gifts. It is a great quilt for making with scraps.

The other quilt is a wallhanging of Food Jars. When my grandaughter Kailee was little I had to pick her up when she came over and I would tell her what food was in each jar. As she got older she could tell me what each food was. I have this quilt hanging in my kitchen.

Snow Day

Well we're getting yet ANOTHER snowstorm. I am so ready for spring to get here. Tired of winter already.

Since I didn't go into work today I'm taking advantage of just relaxing and puttering around. Have some brownies in the oven, Mmmm, they smell so good. I got a load of laundry done and even managed to get some scrapbook pages done.

The Patriots lost!

Well the Jets beat the Patriots so no Superbowl for my Patriots this year. Perhaps next year will be better for them and they will go all the way. My son should be happy since he likes the Jets. Next week I will cheer for the Jets to beat the Steelers. GO JETS!

Welcome 2011

Back once again. Just can't seem to remember to come here and post. Our lives get so busy and so much gets put on the back burner. My goal for this year is to get caught up on so many craft UFO's that I have going. I have been trying to get my quilting/scrapbook room in order. Took out 3 bags of trash yesterday. Guess that's a start.
