Celebrating 53 years.

 Yesterday was our 53rd anniversary.

Where has the time gone.

I decided college was not for me.

At Easter that year I decided to get married.

In six weeks I found a dress and made the bridesmaid

and flower girl dresses and planned a wedding.

 I must have been of of my mind.

But it must have been a good decision because

53 years later we are still a couple.

Spending out time being mellow and enjoying life.

It has been an interesting journey.

Three children, 9 grand children and 3 great grand children

with one more on the way.

Our life has been full and the grand children

will keep it full.

Its been a good life.

I have been remiss my friends.

 Spring gardening has been keeping me busy and

I have not blogged much lately.

I find that it takes me longer and uses up my

energy so I am done in by 4 pm.

 We are almost finished outside,

Just the containers to fill and I wait until after

Mothers day to see what plants I get before I

finish that job.

I did buy a flat of petunias for fillers.

 Gardening and doctor appointments.

The bane of my existence.

What was I thinking signing up for QSDS 2015.

I will need to work hard to finish up enough 

work for my August show.

At least I made the sketches and prep the batting.

Now to work today and tomorrow on quilts.

Saturday I need to make 4 pies for Sunday.

That is unless there is a cancellation at the dentist

than I will need to get a tooth pulled.

Another day in my life.

Autumn Leaves

 Just a little 8x10 quilt I worked up yesterday.

Quilting Arts has a call out for small fall quilts.

It was a fun piece to make.

I keep a small drawer of dried leaves for patterns.

So these are real leaf patterns from my yard.

I blocked out my next 7 medium size art quilts.

Made some sketches and am ready to go.

I hope to finish one this week.

With this great weather it is hard to stay in the Studio.

Today is grocery and massage day than tomorrow

is a doctor appointment than I have Thursday and

Friday free to work.

Maybe not enough time to make one but I

will get a good start,
