Could time just stop for a moment

So it’s pretty close to the end of the school year, that i am glad for. This year has been a rough year for me, i don’t seem to be feeling any better today then i did 8 months ago. I find myself worrying about the worst possible case, if you know what i mean? We do that we get a little sick and don’t shake it off as soon as we think we should, next thing you know you pretty much have your self with one foot in the grave.

It’s been a big year, with it’s fair share of stress. It’s no wonder I’m not feeling like myself. The girls are growing right before my eye’s; would you believe that this summer my oldest daughter will take driver’s training, she will be driving me around. Adam keeps saying think how much more easier life will be for you, i keep thinking my life is easy enough. Why do i want to add the stress of my teenage daughter out there driving around in the big bad world. Come on now how much do you think this poor lady can handle.

My youngest will officially be in High School this coming school year, right now if i could freeze time this is when i would just go ahead and get it done. they are at the perfect age. Oh yeah we don’t always get a long but that’s parenting for you. They are still little in a sense, i never thought i would handle them growing up like this.

Stayed tuned for the summer drama program.

I am so excited about me next project

A big surprise, to someone special in my life. I hope she is not checking on my blog much these days, just in case i won’t blow it by telling who this next quilt will be for. I am so excited to get it put together. I must have ran out of black fabric while i was cutting it, so this weekend i will run over to Wal-mart and pick up a yard to get it finished. i know the material there is not as good as what i can find in a quilting shop. Occasionally i don’t mind putting one together for less than $100.00. So anyways i will give you a peek at one of the blocks. Of course i will post pictures of it when i am done. For some reason black has caught my eye a lot this winter. Maybe because it has been so cold and gloomy this year.

My latest endeavor

quilt 006

So my latest project shortly on it’s way to Wisconsin. I sat down and counted all the quilts i have done in the last 13 months. It sort of averaged out 1 each month, it’s no wonder why every time i pull one out during a TV. show my husband sighs.

I can’t help it even right now as i am writing this, i am thinking about this quilt that i would love to have done no later than the end of March. Call me crazy, i can not believe how it has changed the way i view shapes. My love for art has evolved into this whole new world.

I can finally pick up the phone and call my mom and share with her something we both share in common. I think when the weather breaks i am going to have her teach me how to sew with a machine. It sounds so funny just saying it. We never get too old to learn something new.

So tell me what you think?
