A Restless Sunday

Not alot going on here today! Just been a little restless! I really haven't accomplished much at all, just dozed on the couch on and off all day. I had a nice little nap while Hunter went to Sunday School and Church with my mom. I've had a bit of a headache, nothing major, I think it is just where I haven't been wearing my glasses while I sew. Probably that and I just have alot on my mind lately. Anyway...I did manage to get this Love Letter block finished a few minutes ago. It was simple so it didn't really take very long.



This is my latest Dear Jane block. Don't laugh, I know it looks a little off but I will probably redo it later. I did it last night and no matter how hard I tried it just didn't turn out very well.


Here are a few photos that I took this evening at feed time. I didn't get all of the horses, since the others were down in the back field and Richard was doing the feeding tonight, I was just too lazy to walk down there!

The rooster with the cream colored feathers is Andrews. He took him to the 4H competition the other day and won a 1st place ribbon. He was so proud!!! His chickes are in the coop and he has several differnt breeds, mine just run loose on the farm!!





I have some laundry to do and then I think I will head on to bed.

What Have I been Doing??

This is what I have been doing for the past few days!!! I made 9 more blocks for my Dear Jane!!! This brings me to a total of 24 of them! I am starting out with the easier ones first.











Also, I finished two more Christmas gifts! Several months ago, I bought a bunch of fleece throws on clearance so I have been embroidering on them for gifts. I finished several a few months ago. I have more to do but I will get to them soon.



I also recieved this wonderful little zipper bag from Moneik!!! Thank you Moneik! I love it and it will be so handy taking this to quilt guild.


Chantal, my little sister, got her hair cut off today!! She donated 13 inches to Locks Of Love! I thought that was great, that makes about 31 inches that we have donated between the both of us. Here she is when she came out to show me! I think it looks great!!!

Last night we went and picked up a load of hay! I am still tired and my hands are killing me. They are sore and raw, but it is worth it for my horses to have hay for the Winter! We ended up putting up 107 bales last night.

So anyway, that has been life for the past few days. I hope to finish another block or two before bedtime...

Speed bumps!

I know that it has been a few days since I have posted but you know sometimes life gets in the way and things happen. I just haven't really been much in the mood to post or quilt for the past few days. This is one of those times that life throws you a little speed bump, I guess, but things will get better soon. And thankfully, I have some wonderful friends and family to lean on. And no, no one is sick and I'm not getting divorced or anything like that! :)

Anyway, sometime over the weekend I made this block for my Love Letter quilt. This now brings me up to a total of 67 blocks for this quilt.



I'm thinking that I will spend the evening cleaning up my sewing area and maybe I will get inspired to do a little bit of sewing!
