Tuesday I spend most of the day running errands.................got new tires put on my car, a trip to the license bureau to get tags for my vehicle, to Sam's for a bit of food shopping, a trip to the bookstore for a book on Michelangelo, and then home.....................not much time left to do anything. Wednesday I went to see Jillian and Garrett and Mom. Mom and I had lunch together and then I went to the antique mall for an hour of browsing before Rachel got home. I found these amazing duck decoys and I want to paint them. Then I went to see the kiddos and we played out side. Garrett loves to play in the dirt. They have a raised bed garden and he digs and digs. Then Garrett and I went for a walk..............he in the road ditch where the water was and me on the pavement. He wanted to go to the creek, so I let him climb the fence and check out the little creek. He threw rocks in, crossed it a dozen times, and finally agreed to go home for some supper. He is really growing up. I forget he is only 3 because he has such an astounding vocabulary. At supper he wanted to say the blessing. He prayed for the food and hoped it would make our bodys healthy---how often do you hear that from a 3 year old? Today I paid bills and had Art and Music. Shea drew a horse, Laine and I did "I draw, you draw" and Shea helped Dallas make a picture while Laine and I had guitar lessons. Shea had lessons and is doing super. It was a lot of fun.
I just though I would let your see my first "real" quilt. I started it in 2004 when I took a class at Miss Milly's Quilt Shop. The technique was paper piecing. It was a pineapple lone star pattern and I had to make 6 pieced diamonds for the star. I think I made 5 and just quit. In 2006 I went skiing with the kids, and decided that I wanted to finish that quilt. I came home and did so and haven't looked back. I was bitten by the bug!
