Today I ran away from home

-
I snuck out of the house very early today.By Myself! It wasnt as exciting as it sounds though. I had a nail appointment first which was fun and now my nails look pretty again.Then I stopped by the local quilt shop to pick up some wool batting they had for me. Our local shop has a quilt show going on so I thought I would stop by there next.By this time though I was lonely.So I called my 19 year old and told her she had to go with me.Ü

I really enjoyed it.Looking at all the pretty quilts.Here are a few that grabbed my attention.


mine, of course.Ü
I just love the colors on this one.The detail on this one is incredible.Crown Royal bags! Oh yeah!I want to BE one of these ladies!Looks like way too much fun!
There were two of these.Way too cute and it has to go on my wish list.

I have coveted one of these dolls for years.This one is EXACTLY what I want! Love the red and black together.Crazy huh! This one had me staring at it for quite awhile.Talk about talent.Loved these shoes.Five Before July

I got the quilting done one the round robin and the binding sewn on by machine.So now all I have to do is ge the binding sewn down by hand.yay! Other then that nothing else got done.I did play a little. Yes that means I started something else.I am going to try turning this

Into something from this book! I hope.Oh yeah, remember the pizza fabric? It all came in yesterday.Yum.....And yes, we did have pizza for dinner last night.

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

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
