Fabulous Friday!

Today was my last day of working! For a little while anyway. It was such a great day, I got my classroom all packed away and ready to be moved to my new school. Went to a quick lunch with a few of my teacher friends, and then went on a date with my sweet hubby. We went and saw Iron Man 2, which was not as good as the first movie in my opinion. But then again I can't think of any movie where the sequel is as good or better than the first. What a great day it has been.

Oh, and I finished Tiff's (my sister) birthday present for tomorrow. I'm so excited to give it to her, I'll post pictures tomorrow after the party just in case she reads this today.

The Best Picture Ever

I bought my grandma's computer from my grandpa (they each had their own, funny huh), and thus got all of her pictures with it. To me this is the best picture ever because this is exactly how I remember Grandma looking before she got sick. Glasses on, and a great big smile on her face, and hair pulled back in a ponytail. I have no idea why they are holding up their hands showing their CTR rings up, but I like that you can see their hands. My mom's hands are just like that, not quite as wrinkly yet, but still just the same.

The Magnificent Obsession

I have a new obsession . . . quilting. It is on my mind all the time. I'm constantly trying to figure out what I have to get done before I can do more sewing on the quilts for my girls. It may be driving Ben crazy, but he is surviving.

I have the tops of both quilts finished, and the backs almost complete. I am going to be brave and try free motion quilting on my machine, this makes me nervous, but I'll let you know how it goes.

Here is Kiya's quilt top. I love how it turned out. At first I was worried about the colors being to bright together, but I think they look great.

Now for Jaynie's. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this green border. It may be too bright and distracting for the rest of the quilt, so it may be coming off and being replaced.
