Thimbleberries and Cats

Posted By on November 20, 2008

I am making progress – my 2008 Thimbleberries Lakeside Quilt is getting put together piece by piece……and the cats are really enjoying the process!  Here is my Thimbleberries SHOW – maybe I will finish it this weekend.   Isn’t it incredible about the LOVE AFFAIR that cats have with quilts.  The MINUTE I put one on the floor, the feline visitors just appear out of the woodwork!!!!  LOL

 

BREAKFAST WITH THE RUNNING CLUB

Posted By on November 20, 2008

 

This morning I got to celebrate with grandangels Sarah and Cooper.  We had breakfast at the school and the kids got their FEET CHARMS – one foot for every 2 miles that they had run on the school track Thursday mornings before school.  It was pretty exciting!

I got inspired to do some running myself – so the last picture is of my new running shoes before I went on my mile run this afternoon!  It felt great!  AND….only one neighbor laughed at me.  LOL

 

 

BICYCLES FOR THE HOLIDAYS – A WORTHY CAUSE

Posted By on November 19, 2008

If you are looking for a worthy cause for the holiday season – how about a bicycle or a tricycle for some child who has very little!  If you can, consider doing it!

Make Someone Happy!

Quilter’s Corner is collecting these treasures – any brand, any size, in a box or with a fox….sorry, I got my Dr. Seuss self in gear!  It can be put together or not, for a girl or boy.  You all have probably heard of the CHRISTMAS MOTHER CAUSE – but if not, please go to Quilter’s Corner website and check out SUSAN’S BLOG for more details.  They are also taking DONATIONS in case you don’t feel like you can buy a bicycle.
Oh yes, and speaking from personal experience, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CAR IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR A BICYCLE TO FIT INTO BEFORE YOU BUY ONE!    🙂

My Youngest Grandangel Turned 4 November 16, 2008

My youngest grandangel and namesake, SHIRLEY ANNE, turned 4 on Sunday.  She is such a bright and funny little girl.  I have told many of you the story of how she put me into her toy box to play (SHE THREW THE TELEPHONE INTO THE TOY BOX WHERE I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF – LONG DISTANCE!!!)

 

Here we are on our way to a Grandma’s Day out for Shirley Anne’s birthday with cousins Leanna (12) and Sarah (9)…..the littlest one is Shirley Anne (4) and I am the grown up!  🙂

Egg Money Quilt Blocks

Posted By on November 18, 2008

Sunday we had our Egg Money Quilt Class at Quilter’s Corner……and here are my two blocks for this month – and UHM….yes I made yet a third block for NEXT MONTH.  TA DA

They are the Christian Cross, The Friendship Block and the Peony Block.  I LOVE THE MIDDLE BLOCK SO MUCH THAT I AM GOING TO MAKE AN ENTIRE QUILT WITH IT.  As a matter of fact I am going to make my 12th block be a repeat of this one – that is how much I LOVE IT!

One more block and these pieces are ready to be put together.  I am trying REALLY HARD to restrain myself so that I don’t put it together before our final class.  I am getting a REPUTATION for being an overachiever…..and I don’t want to reinforce that idea…….so I am repeating my self-imposed mantra……I WILL NOT FINISH THIS QUILT AHEAD OF TIME…..I WILL NOT FINISH THIS QUILT AHEAD OF TIME  (I will let you know if this works!)  LOL  🙂
