Matthew's discovery of Dandelions!

Since growing up in Arizona, we never had these kind of weeds, especially since we lived in the desert. Matthew started picking up this weeds and Daddy taught him what he needed to do with it. So now the thing we have to really teach him is he has to put it closer to his mouth and not eating it, and blowing the dandelion off his stem. He likes to eat them then he go yuck and starts wiping his tongue off with his hands. Oh, the joys of having a adventurous little boy.

Leah's quilt part 2

As you can finally see I have found my power cord, I have been having a lot of fun making this quilt for my niece. I didn't realize how big it was until I started making it.

This the first row that I have put together last night. It was a little hard since you have to make sure you have the right one the right way. It would have made it a little easier if my wonderful husband didn't take my stitch remover try to use it as a screwdriver to turn down the water heater.

This what each square looks like. I am really happy with the way it is turning out. I can't wait to get back to working on it. Keep checking back for more !

The design I am using it from My sister and me designs. I really like how easy the patterns are too.

Stampin' Up! club 1

This is what we made in my Stampin' Up! Club today. The mugs make awesome Christmas presents using stick vinyal. Then we made a mothers day card using two kinds of ribbon and one of the punches then used a corner rounder for the flower petals. It was great getting together with the the ladies today. It was nice having an adult conversations but yet being around someone with a great sense of humor too.

Thanks ladies I really needed to laugh and have a great time today.

Leah's quilt part 1

I have the fabric cut and ready to go. I go and get my sewing machine out of the box and well we have an issue we have no power cord for it. Sorry folks no pictures of the quilt for awhile. I have another power cord on order just need to wait until it gets here so I can really get down to business This is crazy that it really makes me upset. Leah will be here before I get it together, get the other things to her before the box finally gets mail off. I just hope that with all the cleaning of getting rid of boxes 2 rooms at a time just might help and that I will come across it. More to come soon.
