Washing Machine

Well, it finally happened. Our washing machine just died. No warning. Just late one night nothing - it was dead. This ought to be sad news.

But there's just no point in being upset as this seems to happen every decade or so. So hubby, being the man of action that he is, did the research and purchased one before I even had a chance to look. This is fine with me - we pretty much agree on most stuff. All I knew is that it had to be white - as the dryer is white. Then I was thinking a front loader might be nice and Wala...that's what he bought.

One of the salesmen told him that wives are so happy with the new machine they wash everything in the house and love doing the laundry each week. Was that a hint for me to start doing it? Hahaha!! Such a good joke!!!

May non-goals

Okay so the Charming Gals and Guys are not doing the May Projects - which is good cause we all need to shake things up a bit. I still want to show what I'll be working on. So first up is Scarlett's I Spy quilt. Isn't the fabric lovely? I'm going to do a disappearing nine patch. I can't wait to get started on it and post some pictures cause it's going to be so cute.

And I hope to get this JOY bom done up fairly quickly too.

I think I have a couple things to add to the

I'll post those later.

California Poppies

This is my sis sitting in a field of poppies. We have some very pretty hills that are just full of flowers near our town. My sis and her friend went for a little drive to enjoy them and these are her pictures. Isn't she sweet to let me post them for everyone else to enjoy too. She assured us that she did not squish any flowers by sitting on them, and she didn't step on any as she walked out in the field. California is known for it's poppies. It is our state flower.

This next one is my favorite picture. I like how there are a couple poppies amoung the other flowers. I think sis does a good job of taking pictures.

April Project #2 Done

What do you think? Will Violet like it? Neptune wanted to be in the center of things, and I didn't have the heart to ask her to move. This quilt top was so much fun to make, nice and easy. I have two more I-Spy quilts to make for two more grandchildren. My plan is to give the quilts to them at Christmas time. That should be enough time to finish them all.

This makes two projects finished for April. I have one more I said I would like to finish, and only one more week. Strike that 3 days left. Hmmm....I haven't even started it. I think I'll pass it onto May's projects.

Oh, in May I'm taking a quilting class so that I can quilt all these quilts I've been piecing.

I did it!

After a while, I just couldn't stand it. This BOM should not have taken well over a month to stitch up. Never mind I was working on all those college papers. It started to really get on my nerves. So I got busy and finished it up. Yippe!

One April project down.

Mother in law Emergency!

My daughter called with a Mother-in-law emergency. She had too many bags in the cabinet and didn't want her mother in law to see them. (Her MIL is a sweetheart and she had nothing to fear.) But being the "Best Mom Ever" - and I don't get to wear that title often - I made her a grocery bag holder. I could have told her to go to Wal-Mart, but she wanted one with penguins.

I was so lucky to get the very last of the penguin fabric at the store.

I think it turned out pretty cute!
