Guess What I did today????? :)

Look what I did today!!! :) I know I should have been working on Bonnie's Mystery but I just needed something different for today. These are my Spring Garden blocks! I have this listed on my "pages" at the top under "Carefree Year Of Quilting 2011" When I started this morning I had one block and the rest of the fabrics were cut. Now at the end of the day I have 42 blocks sewn and the border fabric pulled!!!!! I'm not overly crazy about pastels and colors like that so I planned on making a quilt using alot of these fabric up. Hopefully I can get them all sewn together sometime this weekend. Not too bad for a days work! All of that and I even got to go to Hunter's school for his late Christmas program!

The Christmas program was very nice! Each class got to sing a Christmas song. Hunter's class sang "Joy To The World" I just loved it! I did take some photos but they didn't turn out very well, he was standing in the back and I only got about half of his head! Let me tell you how smooth Hunter is and he is only 8! So it went like this...

Me: "I wasn't sure if you could see me so I tried to wave"

Hunter: "Of course I saw you, you were the prettiest Mommy there"

I just shook my head and told him that I loved him! He is smoooooooth!!!

Anyway, Richard just got home and is outside doing the evening feeding and I have his supper ready! Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, corn on the cob and cornbread! Mmmmm....

Hunter was sitting her doing his homework, I looked over and this is what I saw....he was asleep...A few minutes later he looked like this! Isn't he soooo sweet? I'll let him nap for a bit then wake him so that he can finish his homework and get to go to bed.

Mom has physical therapy again in the morning, she is really dreading it, she is still having alot of pain from Tuesday therapy. He therapy lasts about 90 minutes so I am taking some binding to work on while I wait on her!

PIGS and MIDGETS!

Well, let's start with the PIGS! I have a zillion PIGS actually 50+ I would say but I really don't want to count them! It would be rather depressing. So Jill is doing a little thing called "The Year Of The Pigs" so the first question that she had for us was "How do you store your PIGS" well....some of mine are in grocery bags and others are not but they are thrown in big plastic totes! I don't really have much storage here so I just have to throw everything in together. And when I need to find one then I have to drag them all out and make a horrible mess. I do plan once we get in the other house to be a lot more organized since I will have a lot more space. So here is a photo of SOME of my totes! One of these in this photo has large yardage pieces in it but the rest are UFO's and PIGS! Now on to the Midgets! Jill also is doing a Midget block quilt along. One block a week and I think that is on Tuesday. I did get mine done last night but just now posting it. This is block #2 and is very tiny. Not sure what I will get done today! I was gone most of the day yesterday with mom. She had her physical therapy and when she got finished she was in a lot of pain. She didn't want to go straight home so she wanted me to just drive around until the pain started to ease off some. So we ended up going to Paintsville to Walmart and Kmart! She has therapy again on Thursday.

Since school was cancelled a week or so before the kids Christmas break and they didn't get to do their Christmas program, they are doing it later today so I will be going for that. I'm not sure but mom may go with me if she feels like it. Richard is gone for the day helping our neighbors get a load of hay down in Lexington.
