Moving on

I have loved this house.  It has changed a lot since we moved in.  Thinking about that, my family has changed a lot since we moved in.  Drew was in the fourth grade and Sara was in 7th.  I actually enjoy change.  We are putting the house on the market.  The Realtor is coming Friday.  The new house is not ready to move in and this one is not ready to be on the market.  We have loads of work to do. I love the process...paint, counter tops.... the whole thing.  The only thing I will miss is the fish & the neighbors.  I hope we can dig a new pond and come get a few of them (the swimmers) from the new owner.  Simplifying will be the goal but in a lovely way.  

Bliss

OK 29 years of wedded bliss...blisters?  No, no...bliss! All morning I just can't shake how fast 29 years with Mr. Wonderful have gone. I always heard older people talking about how fast time goes and now, I believe them.  The more I think about all the things we've done and seen the only thing I would change is a few (don't say it) of the houses (well some where more like shacks). We have lived in like 19 in those 29 years. Yep lots of years of stability, hehe.  He always goes along with my schemes.  Thank goodness for him.  Guess it doesn't matter where you live, just who you live with.  That's the one thing 29 years can't change, I would do it all over again! Definitely  not the same colors or style...lets face it times have changed, but with the same cute man!

Quick progress

OK for me this is going quick.  The new pieces aren't sewn down yet but half prepped.  I'm on a mission today for starch and a paint brush....then the finishing touches of prep can be done. What a lovely morning. The sun is out and the sky is even blue! What a beautiful Monday morning.

Show post legally!

So...this is my big purchase.  I watched an applique queen and loved her techniques so I bought her stuff.  The picture of Jane Candace and I is SO not my favorite. I should put it on my fridge so I stop eating! 

Show!

Got to go to a quilt show yesterday with a few of the girls.  Wow did I have a great time.  Great conversation on the drive back and forth. Then great quilts to ooh and aah over.  Really makes me want to  go out with Jane, and sew more.  Hmm if the TV didn't work I would get scads more done. Something to ponder.....For now, meeting with a new Bible Study and then??

Civil war

My civil war stash is growing. You see...I sew with a group of friends and we have secret pals.  Mine gave me this great bundle.  They must know me well. Can't wait to see them sewn into bow ties. Picture to follow.....
