I have been working like mad trying to get these 2 1/2" square blocks done before I leave on vacation. You see lucky me my oldest son who lives out west is flying down to meet us then coming back home and staying for 10 days so I had to get my other sons room cleaned up from all my quilting stuff. Since he is away at college I have taken over his room and loving getting some sewing done. This is all my 1st set of blocks done. This is a mystery quilt all done out of squares. After my son leaves I will set up again and try to get the next set of blocks done before his brother arrives home for the summer. So yes I am headed out for warmer weather. Well at least I hope it is warmer, today it is 68 degrees here, I couldn't ask for better weather then this.
I have also been working on a bedroom makeover. I found this awesome (to me) bedspread and it just took off from there. Now I have a chair for reading in the corner with hanging lights and a new rug, I am going to get my son to paint the wall behind my bed while he is home and that should finish it off. It is nice to get a facelift every now and then.
I also was able to sew the center of my Bitchy quilt top together, all but the tea towel as I am worrying about it raveling out. So next up is the lettering.
Oh and on one more good note I have someone coming to stay at my house with Bullvye while we are gone. I am so glad he doesn't have to go to the kennel. He will be stressed enough with us gone.
So I will see you all in a few weeks, off to spend some time with two of my wonderful kids!"The family isone of nature's masterpieces." - George Santayana

Missing your blog entries. I am hoping all is well with you. God bless you.
Had to laugh at the bit about son coming home and needing to clear out of his room. I do the same in our teeny house when DS is away at college. He's home now for a week. I do so miss him when he's gone, but it is chaos when I have to clear my massive quantity of (papercrafting) supplies out of his room. The law of entropy says the rest of the house is now a disaster, as I have no place else to stash the stash. Love, love, love the bitchy quote. Mirth is truly a good thing. How else can we survive it all?
