I SPY A SWAP!

I joined my 2nd swap ever. The first one was a disaster, I tried to make 12.5" blocks with W.O.W. and had the worst time getting them to come out right lol. Nightmare. Fortunately this only involves cutting fabric! Its an I SPY swap, I will send in 200 4" squares and get back a wider variety to make a quilt from :) I got all my fabric bought or pulled from stash, half of it ironed. I can't wait to get them back and see all the variety! I am so happy for the sisters' in law that organized it!

A (sort of) finish!

I finished my Sunbonnet Sue top :) I am very happy with it, I learned to watch more carefully if the layers will show thru. I learned its a lot harder to machine applique than I thought! I learned I LOVE zig zagging LOL. I am putting this top away for now and working on a very neat project for my sister's baby quilt, her shower is 8/8 and I'd at least like to have the top done by then (surely so lol!)


Now, scroll no further if you are easily disturbed..






I am warning you...proceed with caution!!!






YOU ARE DETERMINED to look aren't you?!






I bet you follow the ambulances in town too dontcha?

backyard cousin fun

*Baby* Ethan, fixing to lose that spot when Auntie Monica and Auntie Melody both have babies this fall & winter :)
He will be 5 in September!

13!

This one had the nerve to morph into a teenager Saturday!

He sure is sweet though :)

Maybe the label of teen won't make him mouthy and obnoxious...

Here's hoping! LOL

Sunflower sweetness :)

This is the second time we've had sunflowers actually get as tall as the roof..last time I said it was because we planted the 'mammoth' sunflowers, but these just said Autumn Mix! LOL They are gorgeous!

Love this little glimpse of fall color in the hot hot summertime!


I had to go to the ER Sat. night, I was having contractions (only 16 wks..not good!). I had to get IV fluids, I was dehydrated. This summer stuff is for the birds! (or sunflowers!) I am considering a move to Maine, wonder what their summer temps are like? ;)
