Appilque Club!

Friday was Applique club down at the shop. All of these ladies are soooo talented. Robin helped me with my points. I think I might be getting it! Yeah!!! This is..... Oh my gosh, now I can't remember her name! I am soooo sorry.... this quilt is reverse applique and it's only 2 pieces of fabric. it is just beautiful. she hand appliqued it and now she is starting to hand quilt it. Her work is just beautiful!!!! This is Mary. and her pattern is from a piecemakers. up close it is wonderful! little tiny stitches......

This quilt is from the book Rosie the riveter. it's all paper pieced. no applique. Arlene you are forgiven. it is fabulous!!!!!

Darlene has a prize to give out, and I won!!!! it was a scissor holder with Jeanna Kimball needles and thread! Thank you Darlene! I loved it! sorry no pic!

Demi had 4 teeth out on Friday and her dentist is just around the corner from the shop. so Jenn brought Demi to me when they were all done. I took Demi to Wendy's for a frosty. (no straws, just a spoon) then home we went. She watched Twilight, had some soup and fell asleep. She slept for several hours. Then in the car to take her home. we just happened to drive by Jumba Juice so we had to stop.... After I dropped off Demi, I went looking for the goodwill by the apartment. Found it. didn't find what I was looking for, but found 2 6 foot paper holder, storage thingies. I didn't need them, but called Melissa and she wanted them. both cost $15.98 total!!! great deal. so then I went to Ikea to kill some time cuz I was going to pick up Melissa from work to take her home. I managed to find a few good things! LOL!

Glen and Melissa were sweet to invite me for dinner - and Lee too! so we all went to Outback! Yummy!!!! it was a very nice day.......

Gunner man!

It has been busy for us the last couple of weeks. 2 weeks ago, Jenn and her family moved. this weekend, Melissa and her family moved. Melissa asked if Gunner man could spend the night Friday, since they were starting at 6 AM Saturday morning. Bruce and I were game. we both would rather babysit than move boxes! LOL! We have this big comfy chair in our family room and Gunner man loves sitting there and being upside down. he can stand on his head without falling, it's so comfy! So here is our little guy acting upside down!

Another thing Gunner man loves is music! we were watching the Wiggles, as soon as the music comes on, he starts dancing! What fun to watch!

Bruce took Gunner man to home depot with him. as they walked into the store, Gunner man's eyes got real big and he said Ohhhhh, wow! this from a 2 year old. He had never been to home depot before! I guess he really liked it. Bruce said he was so well behaved. This is a child that runs everywhere! He was in his happy place! LOL!

Later on Melissa came and got gunner man. later that night Lee and Zoe came over to watch the Cardinals play. Poor Lee had a really bad week. he hurt the top of his foot, he was playing church basketball and got hit right above the eye - so he looks like he has a black eye, and his crown came off and broke in several pieces! Mercy! Then the Cardinals lost. Well tomorrow is a new week! Zoe enjoyed watching me sew and handing me straight pens. She is so fascinated by straight pins!

Lee's birthday

Mercy, so much has been going on! busy, busy, busy! this past weekend it was my oldest son's birthday - he turned 37! I can't believe I have a child almost 40 years old. Oh my goodness.....he was always such a loving sweet little guy. full of hugs and kisses for his mom. He is a caregiver. he might not look like it on the outside - which is Mr. Tough man, but he is a sweetie, and I am so proud of him. whenever my hubby goes out of town, he is the first one to call and make sure everything is OK here. Love ya Lee! oh, BTW everyone, he is single! he has a good job, a beautiful 3 year old, Zoe, and owns his own home! I will pass on any applications.... LOL!!!

Happy Birthday sweetie.....
