I'm hooked!

For me, it is so easy to get hooked on things to do. I get bored very easy so I like to be busy. I have gotten hooked on making these rag quilts. I love that they're easy first of all. They don't take long so it's hard to get bored with doing it. You also get an awesome finished product. This is how Sydney's quilt turned out. She's happy, I'm happy. I'm looking forward to making myself one next!

The girls love their new blankets. I still am in awe that I actually completed something so cool Go Me!

What have we been up to?

Well, obviously blogging has taken a back seat lately. I'm always thinking about updating, but can't ever find the time to do it (or the self motivation). However, I do find plenty of time to play games on Facebook. Hmmmm, go figure! So........


School started and all the free time went out the window. I love going to school for only four days a week. I think it's tough on the kids but come Friday we are all ready to do something fun together. Monday through Thursday we are running in overdrive. I'm up at 4 AM, partly because one of our bathrooms is being remodeled so I like to get in and out before Clay needs to get ready for work. The girls are up at 6AM and we're out the door at 7:15 (on Wednesday's I have a staff meeting at 7 AM so we have to be out the door at 6:45), school starts at 8 Am. The girls get out of school at 3:30 PM and I get off at 4. Then it's home to do homework and get dinner ready, play for a few minutes, get baths, and get in bed by 8 PM. Like I said Overdrive! It is one hectic 4 day week. Then comes Friday. We usually clean so we can play all day Saturday. This week the house was relatively clean so we get to have fun ALL weekend.

This weekend I'm starting on my second rag quilt. I already made Alex one, now it's time to make Sydney's. Here is Alex's finished quilt.

This is the front. I can't believe I made this! Maybe I did get some of the talented gene after all.
This is the back side. Sydney's is a little different so I'll post pics when I get it done.

I'm sooooo excited. I finally finished a project. I'm so proud!! It was so much fun. I also have plans to make myself a King size quilt for my bed the same style. My mom has also expressed (over and over again), her need to have one too! We'll see. I love reading your blogs and I'm glad to see everyone is doing great. I need to find my blog mojo (as Amie would say) and get back to it!!

Hang In There!

OK, Ok! I soooooo need to update the blog! School started and our lives ended. I promise, we're all still alive and kicking over here. I'll be posting updates and pictures soon. Hang in there. I know the two of you that do read this are so anxious to know what we've been up to. I know the feeling, I'm a blog addict in recovery so...........
