Some of my favorite Christmas songs

OK I know this doesn't look like much, but these are the toes of my new sock project.  I'm taking a knitting class to learn how to knit socks, and I have started over probably 20 times.  I hope one of these days these will actually be socks, but the jury is still out of this.  I'm really looking forward to class being over so I have time to complete this task.  Well thanks for reading,

Not much this week

Went to my daughters veterans program tonight.  She was so excited because she had a speaking part.  She did a great job.  Her Nanny and I gave her flowers, and she shared them with her friends, I was so proud of her.  That's all for this week,

Thought I would share this photo for all the ladies out there !!

New craft starting

Well hello once again, I'm such a crazy woman that I am taking a adult education class to learn how to knit socks.  I'm really wondering when I will find the time, but I've been wanting to learn, so I needed to take this class when it was available.  I watched this video and think, maybe I can learn this.  Well that is all I have for you this week, take care see ya next week.

Taking a few days for me

Well not to much going on this week but I'm looking forward to this weekend.  I'm taking a quick trip with a friend to Lake Gaston to just hang out.  For Mother's a do nothing few days, is like a lifeline.  I would have to make anything to eat for anyone, and I'm happy eating cereal.  I will only have to worry about myself for a few days.  I'm going to knit because it is way to much trouble to take my sewing machine.  I'm going to watch girly movies and eat junk and drink wine.  Wow it sounds like paradise.  See ya next week, I'll be recharged I hope.  The photos are of a few quilts I've made. 

30 year class reunion

Ok this past weekend, I went to my hometown to celebrate with all my friends from highschool.  Wow I can't believe how old I am.  It doesn't seem like 30 years ago, I graduated from high school.  And by the way, a complete added insult,  I'm back in college 30 years later.  Oh well this is life, you never know where it's going to take you.  I had a great time seeing all my friends that I haven't seen for years.  Here are some photos of this special night. 

Seems like it never ends

OK now there are three layers to my quilt, the quilt part, the basting (middle part) and the backing (the bottom part).  I have to rotary cut to make them all even, to be able to put on the binding (the outside part).  This takes a rotary cutter, a plastic cutting ruler and a mat so you don't cut into the floor.  I have to take them all upstairs in the bonus room and lay them out to cut.  After that I just use embroidery thread and tie knots in the middle of the blocks to keep the quilt together. This is the poor man's way to keep the pieces together, to have it quilted by a machine is expensive.    I also have the help of my one of my cats, they just love when I put something they shouldn't get on, in the floor. Until next time,
