Things have settled into normalcy around here. I still think about something, experience something or remember something and want to call my mom and tell her about it.... but it's not several times a day everyday. Moms husband has moved on, he's dating. No comment. I want to keep things positive here. I knew he would find someone else to share his life with and I want him to be happy but this is pretty quick....
I've been working on a wedding gift for my daughter and her fiancé. It is coming along. So far I've got about 150 hours into this quilt. Cutting and piecing the blocks and I have started sewing the rows together. I probably have another 10 -12 hours to finish up the rows and cutting and sewing the borders and binding. Then it will go to Lorna, my best friend and quilting superstar. She will quilt it and probably sew the binding on. Big project- definitely a labor of love.
I love sewing quilts. I have been giving them away as gifts. I've had several wedding this last year and new baby's... hahaha new baby.... that reminds me of a comedians skit about new baby cards ... as opposed to old babies.... anyway.... back on track. Quilting has been very therapeutic for me.
I'm getting ready for my nephews visit. He is going to spend 2 weeks with us. And we have quite a few activities planned for the time while he is here. A baseball game, an art museum, the rock and roll hall of fame, some camping, and the Ark and Creation Museum, biking and kayaking. So 2 weeks will go by fast!
We have been doing some house repairs and updates. Some long overdo. So that's going to be nice. New cordless blinds a couple new doors and maybe new gutters. Right now the gutters are so bad that they are ruining my flower beds when we get a good rain..... too much water too fast and hard. So I'm excited at the prospect of that improvement. And I can do some planting afterward. Lots of work to do all the time. But it's all good. We try to keep busy and when I'm busy I'm more productive and much happier.
So that's what's up. I think it's important to focus only on the positive things in life. If you are reading this, my prayer is that God will bless you with peace and comfort today.
