A shot of my design wall...

 I just wanted to show you a quick shot of my design wall.  I haven't worked on it in a while but this is the last thing that I had been working on before my quilting break. 

Tumblers....
Right now they are just sewn together in sets of 4 and placed on the wall.  I'm sure I will move them around and I also have the other half of the quilt to piece.  :)  If I remember correctly, I don't even have them all cut out yet. 
Shamefully, this is the state of my sewing room.  :(  A big horrible mess!  I really need to find a cool day and get up there and get it back in order.  It is so hot up there that I can't really stand to work up there too long.  I have several sewing machines downstairs so I can piece on one of those.  If you remember I had to do this same thing last summer.
 We had our yard sale yesterday and it was a success!  It was a long day but worth it.  Not only did I get rid of a bunch of stuff, I also made a little extra cash.  Oh and I got a sunburn!  My sister and I set up in town and ready to sell at 8am.  A friend from Church came a little later and set up with us.  We stayed until about 3pm and started packing it up.  I'm just glad that it went well.

Did I mention that I have been busy working on my sister's wedding stuff?  I am doing ALL of her flowers and decorations.  I will post some photos of what I have done in a day or two.  So far the only thing that I have done are all of the wedding serving utensils for the reception.  They are all decorated with rhinestone stuff.  Her bouquet is FINISHED!  Sheeewww...that baby had me nervous.  I kept praying that she would like it and she loved it.  :)  She kept describing it to me and a while back mom, Chantal and I went and picked out what we would need for it.  I also have 100 birdseed bags finished and decorated. Working on several other things.  I've really got to get my butt in gear and get her stuff finished, there are only a million things left on the list.  LOL!

Eleven years ago today...

Eleven years ago today, the Lord Blessed me with a precious baby boy that we named Dakota Hunter, better known as Hunter.  I thank God everyday for letting me be his mother.  He makes me smile everyday....and sometimes cry.  LOL!  I am so proud of the young man that he is growing up to be.

He is a little sweaty in this photo but it was taken yesterday evening while he was outside playing with a few of his friends.  I love him sweat and all. LOL!

I should be back online now with no problems!  Yay for me!  I've missed posting and reading blogs so it will take me a while to catch up with what everyone has been up to. 

This afternoon will be spent finishing up things for a yard sale that my sister and I are planning on having tomorrow.  I have most of the stuff bagged up and ready but I still have some stuff in the outbuilding that I need Richard to help me get out.  Fingers crossed that we have a successful sale.  I really need to get rid of this stuff and also a little extra cash is always nice too.  I have 12 big trash bags full of clothes and most of them are Hunter's that he has outgrown.  I figure that I will take all of the clothes that I don't sell and donate them so that I don't have to bring them all back home.  I have lots of household stuff that I hope to get rid off too. 

Of course, I will have to dig out a hand project to take with me to work on while we are having the yard sale!  :)

Have a wonderful and Blessed day!
