Getting Ready for Christmas

 We are getting ready for Christmas around our house.

I finished this quilt that I started last year and never finished.

And the boys are thrilled that a little elf arrived at our house on the 1st.

They named him Freddie Rudolph.

He appeared in our house hanging upside down from a red zipline.

 We are ready for Christmas.

Hello October

I am so neglectful of my little blog.

I cannot believe I haven't posted in a month and a half.

These people keep me busy, really busy!

Pumpkin Patch day was this past Sunday.

My sweet babies are so big now,

especially after seeing the little ones at the pumpkin patch this weekend.



I am over at Gen X Quilters

Thank you to AnneMarie at Gen X Quilters for featuring me today

on First Quilts on the 1st!

Photo Challenge Days 17-22

Day 17 - On the Shelf

Fabric of course, I really need to use these up.

And  hanging from the shelf are my grids.

Estate sale find.

Day 18 - In my bag

Not too exciting, but I got a new Vera Bradley for the fall.

Wallet, checkbook, glasses and case, gum, iPhone and hand sanitizer.

Day 19 - Where I slept

My side of the bed.

Don't let the innocent lab on the ground fool you, she slept there too.

Little one left his blankie. 

Day 20 - What I read

I read on my iPhone, yes on my phone with the Kindle app.

I have not read this much in a long time but it makes it so easy.

I have read these books months ago and I am currently reading Ethereal.

Hoping to see The Help very soon.

The Hunger Games is coming out as a movie too.

Day 21 - A pretty pattern

Grandmother's Flower Garden

This quilt was made by my great grandmother, probably in the 1930's or 1940's.

My Aunt had the quilt top and she gave it to me.

I had it quilted and finished the binding and now it lives in my bedroom.

Day 22 - Trees

Pink Tabebuia Tree

I took this back in March of this year, these are not at all blooming in FL right now.

I absolutely love this tree...

The bad part about FL is that we do not get the fall leaves changing,

but we do get this for a couple weeks.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Days 12-16

Day 12 - Close Up

My little one.

Day 13

My big one, moving father away from me.

But still loves his mommy.

Day 14 - Flowers

Day 15 - My Shoes

I debated posting this one.

These are my shoes from May 24th

when this happened.

We are almost three months away from this day.

I have new shoes now,

And healing is happening,for me and all of my boys.

I have two very lovely scars on my legs which hide the bullet fragments underneath.

But these shoes are in my closet, and I see them think about that day.

We are blessed.

Day 16 - What I ate

I haven't eaten anything today,

but the diet coke is like my coffee (which I absolutely hate)

One day I will stop this little addiciton.
