Kindergarten

Class of 2020, baby! (I think??) We'll my oldest started kindergarten this week. What an amazing milestone. All the other moms were crying, but I wanted to high five somebody. I did it! I survived the first five years, and so did she! ;0) I'm so proud of her. I'm excited to discover who she will become...

Ridiculous!

I needed some time off!!

It's been nearly a month since my last blog. That's just ludicrous! I will admit it's been crazy around here, but come on???? We've had high school reunions, vacations, in laws visiting from overseas, buying of a new house, meetings of sibling's significant others, beginning of school for kindergartners, but come on... 22 days since the last blog????? You think I could carve out a bit a time for my one true addiction?? Actually my one true addiction is Diet Coke, but blogging runs a close second.

To catch you up I'll post pics of our Florida vacation. NICE! And my kindergartner on her first day of school. SWEET!

I've done absolutely no sewing or crafting. I've not even been reading my favorite blogs. But that is all about to change. I will have a booth at the Fest of Angels again this year, and on Aug 28th I will find out if I will have a booth at Stitch this year. I'm so excited about Stitch!! Can you believe it's been a year since that madness. (Look up Nov 15, 2006.) And maybe I'll be a vendor this year????

This year I'm so into quilting. I will be introducing new products. I can't wait to bring the ideas to fruition. I hope to introduce some appliqued bags, the log cabin pillows, the quilted coasters, the quilted cards, and the children's aprons. Of course I will keep the appliqued T-shirts, ladies' aprons, and current line of cards. I also hope to make a little art this year. I want to make some new collages and collage cards. So I better get busy. The links are to keep you busy until I can post work of my own. However the timing is bad, because all I can think about is how I want to decorate my new home, and what I need to do to my current home to put it on the market!

P.S. The above photo is by my friend Tim Romano, of our friend Charlie Bloch. That, I promise is not his best side. :)

So it looks like we are moving. I'm very excited. It is a beautiful big home with lots of storage and then a little more storage. I feel so blessed and a little overwhelmed. It's beautiful, take a look:

& this will be my studio

I guess it's because I'm moving, or maybe it's because I have a hand-full of appliqued houses that I've made and don't know what to do with them, but right now I'm in luv with appliqued houses!!!! http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=applique+houses&m=text

Matt Damon

Now that's how I like to wake up in the morning. Grab your coffee, rub your eyes, take a stretch, fire up the ol' PC, and...good morning, Matt Damon! Right there, first thing!

So I saw the movie and loved it. I'm still a fan of the first one. That one, for me, will never be trumped, but the 5 out of the 6 people in our group tonight said THREE was their favorite. So go see it. I will admit to wanting to beat up every security guard I passed leaving the movie theater. I was pumped, I mean I might even try to ride a motorcycle down a flight of stairs. ROCKIN * AWESOME*
