When it rains it pours

Quilt tops! I have never really advertised.Its basically been word of mouth. In fact most of my customers dont even live near me and send me their quilt tops through the mail. I didnt get the x-mas rush this year and that was o.k. I did pick up a couple new customers. I had enough to keep me happy and give me some play money.

I have always had the thought that if I started getting too many quilts in I would feel overloaded and not be able to work on my own quilts. Sigh, I was right about that feeling. In the last two weeks I have gotten 10 quilt tops! Only 3 of them are smaller then a queen size. I sat down to make a list last night of all that has to be done and scared myself silly.

I know I will get it all done.I thrive under pressure but it is very stressful to think I may not be able to keep up. It would be horrible to have an unhappy customer......
My little sammy spiderman.He was our foster son for over a year. After he left our home we lost contact as his new foster parents did not want us in his life.I miss him so much and am thinking about him today. Maybe someday we will get to see him again.

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
