What's new?

Well a lot of things are going on. The last couple of weeks have been stressful, emotional, peaceful and calm all at the same time. I know that really doesn't make sense, but that's how life is sometimes. Inexplicable.

Ethan went to EFY last week and had a wonderfully awesome time. He left to go on Trek this morning. Very cute seeing him in his pioneer clothes. Brought back memories of sending Kaylee, Izzy, Rachelle and Matt. He is going to the same place you all went.

This is July's Riley Blake's block of the month.

And look at what's happening in our backyard:


The deck is 15' by 14' and basically goes back to the green space. At some point we will clear all the ground cover and bushes back there. The deck is going to have two set of stairs. One where you see the ladder and another on the other side so you can get to the other side of the yard where the stairs to the basement are. There is also going to be a cement patio on the ground where the ladder is to a couple yards past the corner of the house. We will probably put the grill down there and maybe a fire pit.

This is the start of a new quilt, too. Just a sneak peak. I've also been working on the grandkids Christmas presents. I have to start early so I get them done. I've got to many projects going on at once. I am feeling kind of scattered. I need to focus.

And now maybe I need to make a new wedding quilt. My dad just got engaged!



Have a great day!

  1. So many comments! First, the pic of Grandpa wont open so I can barely see. I'm glad he is happy. Love the sneak peek of your new quilt. I love quilts that have crooked things... I think it's pretty advanced so I am scared to try it. Can't wait to see yours! And the deck! Awesome! Last I heard it was deck or cement... now it's both! Very cool! It's gonna be great! Now we will have to come visit again!
