it is amazing how fast the years seem to fly by lately. One minute I am rejoicing at the spring blooms and the next moment hustling to get the Christmas shopping and baking finished! The only time that time seems to crawl is if I am sitting in a Drs. Office waiting for an appointment. Then every minute is 10 minutes long❣😳😁.
This year has been a year of prayer. So many friends and family have needed prayers for illnesses deaths and emotional needs. God has been good for the most part and answered those prayers. I guess all of this is just life such as it is for my age.
It has been a fun year too. We finished our remodeling of every room in the house. The we did one of the rooms twice...just because Bill loved remodeling...NOT! He closed in my back patio and extended my sewing room about 10 feet. He is an unusual man because he is stubborn!😳 That was a joke people. 99% of the men I know are so stubborn...Andrew only 1% of the women I know are stubborn. HaHaHa! Anyway, I have so enjoyed working with 3 friends in the sewing room. Two were brand new to quilting. We have made purses, little zipper pouches, wallets, check books, pillow cases and worked on quilts. It has been fun dragging my friends into this wonderful hobby.
I always feel like I am not as productive as I should be. This year I got a small pocket calendar and I am going to keep track of projects that I finish. It will make me feel good to look back on a year of productivity.

Another year passes!
Hello friends,
I cannot begin to say why I am not blogging...I have had so much going on in the past year and 3 months. I have a beautiful sewing room now that I would love to take a picture of for you. But if I did that, you would see the major mess that happens in there when I work on projects. I love it. I have stations set up for 4 sewing machines and one for my serger. My sewing room will accommodate about 4 of us sewing comfortably. I have been teaching a couple of friends to make quilts, bags, pillow cases and what ever else we decide to try. They are progressing nicely. I begged for the room to be bigger, but my husband just said no matter how big it is, you will just fill it up and it will never be big enough. He was right because my room is full. I don't think I could add another yard of fabric.
As far as my yard, that ole' weed fertilizer works just fine. It is so hot here, I can barely step out to pull weeds. They are taking over my front yard. I have been able to replant and weed most of my potted Plumeria and Addeniums. I learned something this year...Plumies and Addeniums are just like kids. If you plant seeds, they grow bigger and take up more room. It is amazing how many of my seedlings that I planted in June through August of 2014 have grown to 3 foot trees. And I had given quite a few away while they were little...thank goodness. Now the seedlings planted in 2015 will soon need bigger pots...some I have already replanted to larger pots. And yes, I did plant a few seeds earlier this year. It is just like the sewing room, I will never have enough room for my Plumerias and addeniums either.
I am sewing the Splendid Sampler which is two block patterns that are sent to you each week for 50 weeks. It is free and never too late to start. Make them all and then put them in a quilt. It has been so much fun and we are on week 57. I am only about 20+ blocks behind. That is OK because they tell you not to worry if you get behind cause you can finish the quilt when you finish.
Family is good and Bill and I celebrated our 46th anniversary earlier this year. I will blog more when I have something very interesting to blog about. Life is good!
