Time Out.

Breanna had just finish drawing on the wall at the end of the hallway and I had told she was naughty and that we don't draw on walls only paper. The next thing I knew she had put herself in time out! She is such a funny little girl with sensitive feelings.

Grandkids quilts

This past year for Christmas gift to Robert's parents I had thought that a quilt with all the grandkids name would be a good gift, So I mentioned it to all of his brothers and sister and we decide to go ahead with the project. My sister in law Cherish was amazing and cut all the pieces for the star blocks out and sewed everything together and I had all the blocks embroidered with each grandkids name and each of the family groups are in a different color. We did 2 of these quilt this one here and another in brown tones for his dad. At the beginning of the year we had 14 grandkids and by the end of the year we had 17 grandkids. The quilt size is probable over a twin size. They both turned out beautifully and if we have any more grandkids on this side of the family we will add a throw pillow for them.

Quilting Class!

For the next year I am taking a quilting class with my friend Gina! It is at Floyd and Lizzies quilt shop on the 3rd Saturday of the month. This should give me some much need time out. Each month we will go and listen to tips and stuff about quilting and they then will provide us with the material needed to complete 1 quilt square. We had our first class on February 19 and I finished my block on Sunday. I am hoping that by the end of the year I will be able to have the quilt finished.

Kitchen Remodel...

This year with part of our tax return we are going to redo the kitchen. We are replacing the Cabinets, back splash and flooring. We have decide to put down a wood laminate flooring from Lumber Liquidators, Counter tops from home depot and New cabinets from IKEA. we will start the demolition the week of March 9 so stay tune for picture of the progress and the final results. I am so excited that I can't wait. Hopefully everything will be completed by the weekend of the 18th.
