Another finish!

-







Five before July



Yay! Another finish.That makes two.I havent finished two in one month in I dont know how long.Wow I love this challenge. I finished the Long Arm Round Robin. It was started in Jan 07.I put the final stitches in the binding at about 11 last night.So now I need to add another one to my list.Not an easy task as there are SO many to choose from. But I think I will add Runs With Scissors. It is named in honor of the scar I have running down my arm because yes I was running with scissors. I would like to say it was when I was a child that it happened but no I am the model of what NOT to do as an adult!



It was started as a round robin a couple of years ago and since has just sat in the studio waiting to be quilted. I think it is time.


My oldest you know the forklift driver, is spoiling me! I am ok with this but I do wish that she would not spend so much money.She is a good girl and very unselfish.I am proud of that although we did have a little chat about saving money too. Within the last month she has bought me gift cert. for my nails, bought a wii fit, and Friday she comes bringing me this! I have been wanting one for so long but couldnt justify it just because it is cool. I tried belive me.........


I have been having a lot of fun with it. Still not sure how to do a whole lot but I have the c.d. and book out to read. Hubby is gone to the North Slope for a few days so gives me more play time.

I did take pictures of the Art to Wear fashion show on Sat. But my pictures turned out terrible. I had to sit pretty far away which wouldnt of been to bad but they opened a door right across from me and I had a terrible glare.The show was awesome though with some beautiful beautiful clothing.We have some very talented ladies out there.

Need a Good Laugh?

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

A week or so back I got an email from Jamie who is part of the CSN promotion team asking if I would like to give away a gift to one lucky reader!!! WELL YA! I jumped on it. I had so much fun picking out a gift to give. They have some wonderful products. It took me almost a whole week to comb through their stores to find just the right gift! They have 200+ stores!

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

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
