Pine Ridge....

She is 33" square and adorable!

Red Door Designs... Pine Ridge, even though they are on the small side, they went together very easily.

Don't look too close, I didn't bother spritzing the blue lines off where I quilted it. I wanted to take a picture before it got really dark. 

I spy.....

Little house and trees....

They are 6" tall.... And cute as a button!

Should be put together this week.... That is if my other job cooperates. 

Weekend...

My weekend was spent shopping and binding...

Now that I'm 2 weeks back into work, I am getting my library all put back together. We have a lot of new things happening in my work space. We moved out the 33 computers and put them in classrooms, that were in the back of library, the "computer lab". We now have 30+ kindles for the kids to work on. We have couches & love seats, bean bags, tables, stools and all sorts of new seating arrangements for the kids to enjoy. I'll take pictures when it's finished.

Now I am in charge of "roadrunner rewards". (1 of my gazillion new hats). We give these out to kids when they do something good of any sort. We used to have this god-ugly red ruby, sparkling hat box, eesh! Not in my library..

This is what I came up with.

Much better! It can stand or hang. 

Then while waiting for the spa to heat up, I put the binding on my 'disappearing hourglass' quilt.

Now, I'm set for a lazy Sunday, with nothing on the agenda..

Enough said...

Good bye summer...

It has been awesome! Tomorrow, Tuesday, I go back to work. 

I know am so lucky to even get a summer break, we're talking like 5 weeks! If your not in the teaching field, very few people get a break like this. We do work our butts off though, and we have definitely earned it. Just sad when it comes to the end. I cherish every day and am thankful each morning I wake up and can enjoy this wonderful time. Well, I'm thankful every day I get to wake up.. That's for sure!

Now we're on the countdown till Thanksgiving break!

Disappearing hourglass...

This is what's loaded on the machine now...

Measures 60x68...Red Door Designs... It's going to be perfect for the couch!

Crazy for red....

Finished off "crazy for red" yesterday. Amazing how much sewing one can done in the middle of the night when you just CANT sleep! 

It's about 82x82. It's going on the bed as a blanket when Christmas time rolls around. Let's hope I get it quilted before then tho. 

Yea know.... Just 18 more Friday 's before Christmas! So, that means really... In order for me to get it on the bed...probably like 14 more Friday 's. EEK!

34 years ago, I got married.. Straight outa high school, my family thought I was nuts! 

Still going strong!

Every single year, he buys me roses. 1 for each year we've been married. Has not missed a year yet. Even when we've been on vacation, I walk into a hotel room, and they are. Amazing.. This year is 34, 2 short of 3 dozen. He brought them home yesterday and then when I went in my sewing room...there were the 2 extra.

We had no real plans today..ended up looking at cars and came home with a new ride for me!

I have always had an SUV. 5 yrs ago we traded in my jeep Cherokee because it was on the edge of being a lemon. Always in the shop for electrical issues, and we got a Hyundai. It is a good little car, never had an issue with it, warranty is unbelievable, but it's not an SUV. So we traded Marks car in and got me my SUV back. Kept the Hyundai for Mark.

Happy anniversary honey! Here's to another 34+ years!
