Faces

 My Surprise Baby is not a baby any more - and when she decided to grow - she kinda went like a weed... She is only 4 month old - but.....

She needed a friend I am not going to admit what I did yet... but look at that sweet face.... would he not make a good friend????

Blue Placemats ..FINISHED!!! and..... Finished ( or not) Friday

 This week I am celebrating a small finish... but a finish just the same!!

For the Rainbow Scrap Challenge ( hosted at So Scrappy)  I have been making placemats out of my Block Box. I have been having a blast Quilting them and trying new patterns and new ideas, without the commitment of a king size quilt!! but!!

Did you know... that if you quilt them - you must bind them? ( oh ya!) and so now!!! my FInish for this week is all of the BLUE ones are Now bound!!

Blue is the Color for April - so according to my trusty pile - I now have Pink ( January), Yellow ( February) and Blue ( April) all bound.... I must not like Green ( March) much - cuz I just passed those on by.... which means - I had better get to binding in green!!

And because I love you all SO much I trekked out in the 100 degree heat and snapped a photo - so that maybe you could see the quilting.... I made it fast tho! 

Then look ...upside down - hahaha!!

I am pretty happy with myself for binding all of these ( and the other colors) and not going into anaphylactic shock! and I didn't even have to use the whole bag of chocolate to get it done!

Now it is your turn - Link up your Finishes!!!

Back in my Happy Place

 

See that snow?

Well - I am missing that right now!! I have never been a fan of heat - I mean I am good up to 75 - but then... I am out!!! and the last two days we have hit 100!!!

I didn't have my Air Conditioner uncovered and cleaned yet - but you can bet that I do now - Holee Buckets!!

With as hot as it is - I was glad to be able to go into an Air Conditioned room and be with these Amazing People!!  my Heroes ..... Getting their QOV Hugs - 

Doesn't get any better!

The Quilt Ladder

 if you remember - we decided to have our wood floors redone... and oh lawsy mercy do they look good!! But!! They kicked up a LOT of dust....

So Like one does when there is dust, and new floors - they clean and then! they decide to paint!!

Except that I couldn't remember the exact shade of paint I used the first time.

So I chose what I thought was close.... and I was wrong!! So the WHOLE kitchen/dining room got painted.... because.... just touching up the spots made my poor wall look like it had calamine lotion on it!

As I was painting I started thinking of accent colors - and the Quilt ladder I always wanted... and so - There is a little antique place here in town - I headed over there and found an old Ladder.....

Cleaned it all up and started painting it.....

But then!!

I decided that my trim needed updating. Okay I will be honest - we never put trim in in the first place - we moved in and just got to living... so! I went to get some trim that I liked and I painted it the same color - and now.....

I have teal trim in the kitchen...... I just love it!!

And ta da!! Here is the whole thing - now that bend in the floor - that a camera bend - I couldn't' get the whole thing in one shot! Oh!!

See my photo wall on the right - teal photo frames!!!

And!! the next thing I want to do is reupholster  the chairs around the table - they are yellow and probably 100 years old - I think they need an update. But that will be my July project .

So that was a fun project.... wait till I tell you about my bathroom.... I kinda flooded it... so you know - we had to re do it as well. ( good thing my husband loves me!)

Diamond Back

 I am working on my One Monthly goal and putting the blocks up on my wall, and I turn and look - and I scared myself!!!

You all!!! it looked like a rattle snake skin to me!!

It did to my husband too - so I am renaming the Rectangle Wrangle ( Quiltville design) to

DIAMOND BACK

and that is the only anything near a snake that I want to ever see in my life... yep!!

And ( oh Weedy Mama!! ) I would like to point out that I have finally made it as a quilter  - I have 4 projects up on the design wall....

but! Better yet - I have a stack of them next to the sewing machine... its getting deep in here people!

A little Double Slice - and Finished... or not! Friday!!

The first thing I got finished this week - was this field!!! Just in case you can't see - those are bales of hay. They are now baled, and loaded in my trailer. FINISHED!! Whoop Whoop!!

And then after the field was finished - I got to this!! A little Double Slice Quilt!! 

You know I had to take it on my wood floors - I am so in love with them - and! 

a little close up!

Isn't that just so sweet?   Now that I have that finished, and the hay ... I have been told it is time to mow fire breaks..... Is that fair????

Now it is your turn....

What have you finished???

Just a little weather

 Yesterday late afternoon I got an alert on my phone - Tornado warning - take shelter. Of course, I texted my husband first ( working in the basement) and asked if he got one, he said no - but there is a cell by Denver.

So I went back to work, and then the skies got a little darker. I got up and went to the window and Bam!!

This was dropping out of the sky! I ran back in and got my camera - and watched it!!

I took a ton of Cell phone photos - and my husband took this one thru his binoculars!

The reports on the news were crazy - watching it get so close to people, and the shots of it over their head - I was so glad to view it from a distance ( we figured 20 -30 miles away?)

At first then news said it was coming straight at us, so we let horses out, and moved stuff that could fly (like the trim I had been painting)  but it started to dissipate - and the actual storm cell moved north, North east - towards Cheyenne.... But those people on the ground..

As soon as I finish chores ( okay really playing on the computer  - I rode and did all my morning chores.... I just wanted to sound important)  I'll turn on the news to see what other damage there was...
