<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had another crazy idea...well...I don't really think it was THAT crazy...I thought it would be nice to add some concrete in an area of the back that really doesn't grow much...and because when I bring out the giant rolling trash cans and mower to the front...I always miss the corner of the walkway and the wheels go off...Don agreed...and quickly went to work getting the area ready...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since we don't have a cement mixer...the concrete had to be mixed by hand...it took 15 bags of cement...that's ALOT of mixing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I ripped out about 2/3 of the Lambs Ear in this flower bed...it was taking over...that left some bare spots...I transplanted some other perennials in there...I hope they fill in quickly...but until then...I'll try my best to be patient. My front looks a little tired right now...the Baby Tear moss got too much sun when we had a short heat wave...and turned brown...but it will bounce back...it always does! And a lot of the sage has turned to seed...I used to dead head it all right away...but the seeds attract Gold finches...and I love them...so I have been trying to let alot of things go to seed. They also love the Black Eyed Susan seeds...as well as the Russian Lavender and Cone Flowers...and now I have discovered they like basil seeds...I let some of those go to seed to collect and I found little tiny finches all over them! Since they are no bigger than a hummingbird...they fascinate me...I am trying to get some pictures...but they scatter quickly when they hear me! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Selin likes turquoise a lot and I thought the gray was a pretty neutral...she also wanted pops of bright green and orange...since we don't know the sex of the baby until birth...I went pretty neutral...although I think I leaned a little more towards boy...I just realized this picture is sideways....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I've been doing some Spring cleaning and organizing the past couple weeks...I know...hard to contain your excitement about cleaning and organizing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgznG_Hry61_QPZgTHLjg4sQlVl1394EARFJX8gMKwD8b1QKs8q_HfFwvJLCBUk5HVmKfrM3BtJeAYhJ_nt7VABIf8tNmVK7OKfzSCxWpNNUyPSs0J-Cvsin-co3VeK_tuCrt4whNwiqcY/s1600/Iron+board+shelf+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgznG_Hry61_QPZgTHLjg4sQlVl1394EARFJX8gMKwD8b1QKs8q_HfFwvJLCBUk5HVmKfrM3BtJeAYhJ_nt7VABIf8tNmVK7OKfzSCxWpNNUyPSs0J-Cvsin-co3VeK_tuCrt4whNwiqcY/s1600/Iron+board+shelf+007.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> As I've said before...I have a small home...and my sewing/den has to be very functional...its a big room...25 x 14...but I use about 75% for sewing and other crafts...so while reading some posts on a Facebook quilting site...I got this idea of how to use my ironing board as an ironing surface and storage as one. We bought the shelving unit at Ikea...it was the exact height and width of my ironing board. Don cut the legs off my ironing board and attached it to the top of the unit using tiny auto clamps...great...don't you think!! It's really sturdy now too! I saw lots of people who used boards for their ironing surface, but because I make totes, doll clothes and a variety of other things...I need that small curve that my board already has...plus...it was a lot cheaper to make!!</span></div>

I was on Spring break last week from school...went to a small quilt show and lunch with my sister, Debbie. We had fun and found lots to buy even though it was a small show! I gardened most of the week...it felt great out in the sun day after day! Now we are supposed to get more rain...starting tomorrow...it has cooled off...its pretty dreary out now...I hope we get the rain...we need it!! I am working on my final for Desktop Publisher Level 1...I think I will be able to start Level 2 on Monday...my final is a 16 page booklet on everything I learned in Printshop, Publisher and Adobe Photoshop so far...I like this class a lot...keyboarding...not so much! I'm slow...I think my speed will never get past 30 wpm! I am working on more doll carriers today...I hope to add a few to my <a href="http://www.linsueray.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> shop soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time...enjoy your day!!!</div>

On this day...65 years ago...my awesome husband was born...and I want to wish him the happiest of birthdays!!! He isn't perfect...but he's perfect for me! He is a wonderful husband...father...father-in-law...and soon to be Grandpa! I know he will excel at that...kids are always drawn to him. He enjoys life to its fullest...and never seems to be down in the dumps...always there to cheer me up...make me smile...and take care of us all! He is the fixer of all things broken...a great cook...the best barbecue master...the lifter of all things heavy...the jokester in class...the great advice giver...what can I say...an all round great guy. He starts Medicare today and says that's the good thing about getting old...cheaper insurance! </div>

Happy Birthday Don!!!</div>

Eight<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> pieces for just under $25! These are definitely staying...or perhaps my boys will want a piece or two...there's a 7 and 10 inch skillet too...which I won't use as skillets...but they're shallow enough for corn bread or brownies...and much prettier than plain old glass Pyrex...I love the simple Cornflower design...I have a few of these pieces already...and a percolator too in this design...my parents had this design when I was young...my Dad was the main cook in the house and I remember him using the skillets on the range...he had a clip on handle for them...I wonder if they still make those handles...I'll have to research...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is our new Grand-baby!!! Our baby is due August 10th...and we are counting the days!! Don and I weren't sure if we'd ever be Grand parents...but this tiny miracle will soon be here...and we are more than excited! Our baby will be the first Grand child on both sides...so very much anticipated indeed!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Doing a head stand here...just like Mommy! Selin is a yoga instructor...she will not be able to do an hand stands for a while though. Don and I have been busy looking at everything baby lately...I have marked all my favorite sites...and I bought fabric and pattern to make my first ever baby quilt. Joseph and Selin have decided not to find out the sex of the baby...going old school as they say...I understand their decision...although it would make it a lot easier for me to shop if I knew for sure...until then...I am planning a big party here...a shower of sorts. There is much to do in just a few months...and I am looking forward to every moment of it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy St. Valentine's Day! I have found my self making all sorts of red and white pretties this year...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a bunch of scraps left and decided to make some log cabin blocks...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3w78YecF4NvzEKc7ap2_LmAjM2ad9y3PoijFzqhFCMQ199nJF9y7GS4mpsDYJlhom2biTWspiFrOHjw6ljzcGZ7FvfumNt0cQ_0U9cBFs2K0EQuBoGM5-2x9R3BTpYtz_LuiZXTeAZM4/s1600/log+cabin+squares+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3w78YecF4NvzEKc7ap2_LmAjM2ad9y3PoijFzqhFCMQ199nJF9y7GS4mpsDYJlhom2biTWspiFrOHjw6ljzcGZ7FvfumNt0cQ_0U9cBFs2K0EQuBoGM5-2x9R3BTpYtz_LuiZXTeAZM4/s1600/log+cabin+squares+010.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course I couldn't stop with just the blocks...I added a small piece of fabric to the end of the block...then added a wool cupid! I love wool...but you know that already! For extra fun...I added a few wool hearts too...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The blocks were made ever so easy with this handy tool I got at the quilt show...what a great investment! My blocks are not so wonky now...and I was pleased with my results! For me...anything that makes my blocks line up is a wonderful!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now I know so many of you are snowed in...having a very long winter...and I feel badly about that...we have had the opposite...perhaps the warmest Winter on record...yesterday it was 84...you heard me! Today it is supposed to be 86 here...the nights are cold though...mornings too...well...if you consider 40's cold...brrr...I do! Anyway...I have been outside a lot too...things are blooming very early here...look at daffodils already! These ones are miniature daffodils...oh so tiny! The rest of the daffodils are coming up in various stages...depending on how much sun they get... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's starting to feel more like Winter around here...still not much moisture...but very chilly...I consider 55 downright cold...but I know many of you think that's not bad....anyway...I've been sewing a lot...I made this little picture with my sisters and a friend...we all made one at our sewing day. This was simple but cute. They all look the same but different. I framed mine. I add a few Valentine things around...mostly outside on the front porch...but over the last few years I have added more. I am working on a couple more mats now to add to my Valentine collection... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I finished this cross body bag. ..I laid it out on my bed to try and get the whole bag in so you could see it...I really like making these. Of course I fell in love with this fabric.....although I decided to add it to my Etsy shop...my shop needs more inventory and I have quite enough bags for me! Maybe I'll make another one for myself...it sure shouts Spring!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a little fabric left over, so I made a make up bag. I wanted to do something with the front...so added the strip down the front. I was lucky enough to have the exact color rick rack and zipper...see...it is a good thing to have a giant stash!!I added mis-matched buttons...I like that look better...I gave the bag a 2 inch bottom so it can fit more in it...this went in my Etsy shop too.</div>

Haven't been doing too much here lately...just school and some sewing..this is a Valentine table runner I started...and finished, but I realized that I forgot to take after pictures...next post I will show it to you. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this cross body bag too...hard to tell here...but the strap goes across your chest...I like the way it feels on...I'm not the best model...I think I need to find a young skinny model! It's also a little long on me because I'm short!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see...its flat. I curved up the sides a bit, but I really like the style. It will make a great bag to carry to school...or work. Its quite roomy inside...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The inside mirrors the outside...a magnetic snap closes it...if there is no snap then it can be reversible....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a bit of fabric left, so I made a zipper bag with a wool bird...I love putting wool on everything!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpEg5ansHsRleTl27QwSy_wx-q1PXXKmzma1G6rYUbV6oR1KHHdJo051YJJwjlf_ggHQHCGl3wpyOdIUrkD8i0Mj56KBvAwLRhHMoZgI6tYTyNhkggef9XOb2OPJqSdzJeN_8CHGFxdDo/s1600/turquoise+bird+zip+bag+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpEg5ansHsRleTl27QwSy_wx-q1PXXKmzma1G6rYUbV6oR1KHHdJo051YJJwjlf_ggHQHCGl3wpyOdIUrkD8i0Mj56KBvAwLRhHMoZgI6tYTyNhkggef9XOb2OPJqSdzJeN_8CHGFxdDo/s1600/turquoise+bird+zip+bag+005.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I added a little wool flower on the back by the zipper too...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm working on the same cross body style as the other one with this fabric...I love it! It spoke to me...its orange and I love poppies! I like the gray with the orange too...love this lining fabric as well. I'm hoping I can sell a few of these bags at the next flea market in March...and I am listing some in my Etsy shop...I like the size and its nice to have a bag not just resting on my shoulder...frees up the hands. I am going to bags like this for school from now on...much easier!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not much in the way of gardening going on here this past week...we did get a little rain...and I do mean a LITTLE...sad to say. Governor Brown declared a state of emergency because of the drought...many parts of Northern California are almost out of drinking water and there is a chance the may have to get bottled water trucked in...the snow pack in the Sierras is at 12% of normal for this time of year...so sad. We live in a dry sate anyway...but the paper this morning said it is the driest in like 500 years! Three years of little rain can do that to an area. In my area there is under ground water and they built some new water storage lakes over the last 10 or so years...so we are not as bad off. We still need to watch our usage though...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">School is going well...I like it, but I am having a bit if trouble with key boarding..my speed is slow when I do it the right way...I have very small hands...and sometime to stretch them is really hard...my fingers get all tangled up sometimes...but I practice at home. I try not to look at the keys when at home...but its hard sometimes...oh how I yearn for long fingers! Oh well...I make due with what God gave me!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not much else happening so...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Until next time...enjoy your day!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to show you some of my favorite quilts...these are SO much better in person...but you get the idea...this one touched my heart...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And my favorite...oh yes! If you know me very well...this is a no brainer! I love everything about this quilt...what talented quilters all these guys and gals were...there were many, many more...but these were my favorites...There were lots more vendors this year too...they added a third area...a huge tent added on to one of the ballrooms. I chose carefully what I bought...some new patterns...lots of wool and a cute quilt kit...there were so many things to chose from...I always bring a certain amount of cash and when I have no more ...I quit! Luckily I didn't run out of money before I was done...there were many things I would have loved to get...but...well...you understand...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These were from a little tiny charm pack of Sweetwater's Road 15...the squares are 2 inches...the fabric reminded me of our trip to the mid-west...all the farms with trees surrounding them...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This morning I had school...my keyboarding class...my attempt at gaining some speed...I never use my pinky fingers when I type...so its hard for me! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am back at making more doll carriers too...I can't seem to keep them in my shop...which is a good thing! I was going to concentrate on making some more doll clothes...those have nearly sold out too...so needless to say...I will be busy sewing all week...except for Thursday...then I am going to The Road to California Quilt Show! Can't wait! I love seeing all the beautiful quilts and dreaming of one day making something bigger than a table runner! I hope to find some patterns I can accomplish...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can't believe its January...ever so cold in so much of the country...and warmer than normal here...the winds have been beating me down though...wind and dust and dry...so I have had to water to keep my yard alive. My plants must be confused...because so many are blooming and growing way ahead of schedule....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The wind has calmed a bit...and I took the opportunity to go out and check out this California lilac that usually blooms late February...and here she is...all in bloom...with friends visiting!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today is supposed to be 79...now this time of year we normally do get a warm spell...but we haven't gotten a COLD spell yet...oh...maybe a week or two back in November... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Its the wind that has beaten me down though...it dries everything out...the yard...my skin...my hair...my throat...and the dust...even though I have double pane windows...the dust manages to get in under the tiny crevices at the bottom of the doors...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I have decided that I can't control the weather...so I'll enjoy it when the wind dies down a little...and be thankful for those times...I read that in some parts of Colorado...the gusts are over 100mph...here they are around 70-80mph...and a constant of around 30mph...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do feel for the poor bees and birds...they struggle in flight...these guys seemed so happy for the break in the wind. I keep water out for the birds...right now they sure need it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been sewing too...I gathered up some pretty reds and pinks...and a bit if red wool...and came up with this little zipper bag...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's the back...I thought a little wool heart would be nice too...Valentine's Day will be here soon...so I have been in a red mood...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">School is moving along too...this morning I had my keyboarding class...I am getting better at not peeking at my fingers...my Desk Top Publishing class is fun...I can't wait until the Photo Shop part...I have never edited pictures before...you can probably tell...my photography isn't very good...so I think I will be happy to learn all about that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been thinking about getting a new camera too...not sure what to get...what do you use?? I need to research...they cost so much and I don't want to make a mistake with a large purchase...any help is much appreciated. I'd love to one day take a photography class...for now...I'll just keep pointing and shooting and hope some come out alright!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Better get back to my sewing...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you live anywhere in Southern California...this is a common site...a citrus tree of some sort...this is our Mandarin Orange Tree...it is full of delicious fruit right now... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But in the local paper today...it talks of doom for the citrus industry in our area...which is all over...and this really scared me! The article said that half of the citrus in our area are grown in back yards...and I can tell you that here...that is so true! All of my neighbors have citrus tree...oranges, tangerines, lemon, lime, grapefruit...you name it...and apparently...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is a bug that's determined to kill off all the trees in the area! A tiny bug called a psyllid...about half the size of a grain of rice...only two of these bugs can destroy an orchard...in Florida...so many orchards were destroyed and many of the farmers gave up and either developed their property...or sold it off for pennies on the dollar...that's just sad!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In Redlands...the next town over...oranges are grown in all the newer housing developments and on the city streets too...oranges make up a valuable part of a beer that is made in Redlands...Hanger 24's Orange Wheat Beer...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of the time...just like this! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The article said that we may only have a few more years before so much of the trees are gone...there is already a quarantine in effect in every Southern California county and many in Central California...where most of the larger groves are...many farmers here have orchards that are less than 100 acres and work together to market them...most in my area going to schools...but most home owners are unaware of the problem...sure I had heard of the bug that devastated Florida...but here?? Not until I read the article did I really appreciate my ability to walk outside and pick fresh fruit every day...see citrus is special because it stays fresh on the trees for so long...months...and months...unlike other fruits...you pick it fresh...and enjoy! The article said there was a meeting for home owners on Friday...I think I better get over there and see how I can protect my trees...if I actually can...I am an organic gardener and wonder what all this is going to do to our health...the article said that they are releasing wasps that eat this bug...it is from Asia...the wasps from Pakistan...but they will only eat 60% of the larvae...and like the article said...only 2 are needed to destroy...so we'll see how this plays out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had most of this completed...I just had to sew on the squares and put on the back...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was able to use almost everything from my stash of Salvation Army wool clothing...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">except the green...I just didn't have the right one...I used all the buttons from my stash of old buttons a friend gave me...they came on handy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The black wool was a blazer I took apart and I was lucky it was big enough! I am always happy when I can find wool items in the plus sizes! I do have quite a bit of men's suits...but the ladies clothing is all the pretty colors! I used a solid black cotton for the back. The pattern calls for wool...but I don't like wasting my wool for a backing. This is the perfect size for a little table in my living room...I think my house will be festive for Valentine's Day once I finish a table runner I am in the middle of...do you decorate for Valentine's Day? I never used to...but the last couple of years I have. Our anniversary is February 2...so I might as well keep the love going all month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I started back to school...I am taking Desk Top Publishing and a key boarding class. My goal is web design...and this is another step in my journey...the key boarding is to help me not hunt and peck quite so much! Don is finishing his Quick Books...it will come in handy for our little business. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are going to start the flea markets again in March...I just signed up this afternoon. We like doing those PCC flea market...its a great one...we always do well...and I can shop too! Its a win-win! I do need to get busy with the shop though...can't sell much if we don't have things made! So off to my cutting table...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other day when I was out gardening...I noticed this...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2RkT4r8Jl2MKmRu_vyldc4LYL7jTlPaUD571pbl0l1MaSTjalU3w8ti_6XC2ynZU6rsG4Hr5fd9t82NM0jdDR67uuteqybPI4HtZchWnJWLD78PYKMq0hPMlwmijTsdCvSX_eSytSMcs/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2RkT4r8Jl2MKmRu_vyldc4LYL7jTlPaUD571pbl0l1MaSTjalU3w8ti_6XC2ynZU6rsG4Hr5fd9t82NM0jdDR67uuteqybPI4HtZchWnJWLD78PYKMq0hPMlwmijTsdCvSX_eSytSMcs/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+002.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And then I started hearing these show up...hmmm...I knew it was either a slow news day...or something big was burning nearby....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvfCYucIFZ-pQwUsq6HT3SZ53fokVf4U9Iyis0CQCcKCfvsX1GF2zphxQ60wplhe3HtPACs_SctVwFBTiVdcpq_gTcdmwtSN9EHAYgzN1mlSoPrXyOqWbrTJXcR0Uq_aJMPhRy_cbIK4/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvfCYucIFZ-pQwUsq6HT3SZ53fokVf4U9Iyis0CQCcKCfvsX1GF2zphxQ60wplhe3HtPACs_SctVwFBTiVdcpq_gTcdmwtSN9EHAYgzN1mlSoPrXyOqWbrTJXcR0Uq_aJMPhRy_cbIK4/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+005.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I walked the 5 houses to the end of my street...and I saw this...it looked like it was right next to the hospital...that wasn't good...so I zoomed in...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wa2xXcyqiyIdnI5ebIHqg9W4zjMQbacn6nXZekxfNYVHOXqxI068B4qN48qRTZBIEDqDZ9_kf4R940pY3kMucDMXxI0PkX0WIpYwdCFz-b_nuDieJAiAhtaNgRLUDl3-QiQfw0n7ysc/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wa2xXcyqiyIdnI5ebIHqg9W4zjMQbacn6nXZekxfNYVHOXqxI068B4qN48qRTZBIEDqDZ9_kf4R940pY3kMucDMXxI0PkX0WIpYwdCFz-b_nuDieJAiAhtaNgRLUDl3-QiQfw0n7ysc/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+007.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something big was burning...but I couldn't tell what it was...it was about 5 or so miles away from my street...so I went in the house and turned on the TV...it was an old bowling alley...fully engulfed. Sad...but it had been closed for a few years...I guess now they'll get around to doing something with it. That big building is the hospital I was worried about..the fire was actually about a half mile from the hospital...funny how everything looks so close when you're far away...no one was hurt...thank goodness...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAnLL_cX7pRwIR8MNDYfzOga1N2B2ekiP2K4oX1SxXGQQ_HyZCA02XQD-AaDnuZvKRC3edbJMSuXo3lXyVFwImkYpA5477iK6KrZRCDi4zlIpaWRzV0rmfywqQ8qI5x6BlgzidAI-Djbc/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAnLL_cX7pRwIR8MNDYfzOga1N2B2ekiP2K4oX1SxXGQQ_HyZCA02XQD-AaDnuZvKRC3edbJMSuXo3lXyVFwImkYpA5477iK6KrZRCDi4zlIpaWRzV0rmfywqQ8qI5x6BlgzidAI-Djbc/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+014.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Now on to my finish...I know this is Christmas...but I finally got this table runner quilted. This is my first project this big. I have made smaller mats...but never tried my hand at anything this size...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Is it perfect...heavens no!! But it is fairly straight...and I am proud of myself!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was able to machine quilt it too...all by myself...nothing grand...but I am happy...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlk9Q-pUYMU3sZLteoJ4lMHVwxH1MM0Ti1PPLXYUG6SefE1Ts4rwLo2CfXxryaf1VWE_FDOJHi9hdZfsBGa47T8HGs0ovN4D9RX7a5-SwTYpPIqrCwgbxZikmeylPFbom3apEKAS7T4I/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlk9Q-pUYMU3sZLteoJ4lMHVwxH1MM0Ti1PPLXYUG6SefE1Ts4rwLo2CfXxryaf1VWE_FDOJHi9hdZfsBGa47T8HGs0ovN4D9RX7a5-SwTYpPIqrCwgbxZikmeylPFbom3apEKAS7T4I/s1600/table+topper+finger+and+fire+017.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is a pretty good size too...40 x 20...perfect for my kitchen table. I want to make one like this but about 14 inches longer for my bedroom dresser...maybe I'll look for another pattern...or try and just add another block to this one...not sure...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's the back...I had fun making this...a lot of learning along the way. It wasn't as scary as I thought...so I will be trying my hand at some bigger pieces now that I have some courage to move on! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am working on finishing some things that have been sitting around waiting...its hard sometimes...I get caught up sewing for my Etsy shop...gardening, school...and just life in general...but I decided I need to make time for more of these types of projects...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Until next time...enjoy your day!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For starters...I went back to school last year and as I move on...the classes are harder and I need to take more time to study...then Don decided to go get a part time job...which turned into 30 hours a week...and my Etsy shop exploded with business!! That was a good thing...well...everything was...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But it lesft me very little time for things like blogging, sleeping, gardening...I was at my sewing machine at least 12 hours a day...7 days a week to keep up...I even had to hire Don! He was a cheap hire! We got through...got everything shipped on time...and some wonderful reviews from many of my customers...and I hope some happy recipients of their gifts....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Funny thing is...I didn't even get a Christmas tree until 3 days before Christmas...and there were some sad trees by that time! But we had a wonderful quiet Christmas...and we took a couple days to recuperate...now I'm playing catch up...I do have a clean house...but my yard was really suffering...Don mowed and gave the most basic needs...but there is so much more than that to do...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I have been busy trimming and cleaning all the lovleys in my yard...and things are looking better than I thought they would...its been a warm winter for the most part...some rain...not near enough...and ALOT of wind...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But as you can see...things are perking right up...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But this is what my yard looked like a couple weeks ago...I know...hard to believe! We had a hail storm...and the white stuff covered most of my yard...it lasted almost and hour....it looks like snow in these pictures...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's what it was though...crazy! There was a pile nearly two feet high that came sliding off the roof in the corner of my front flower bed...thankfully that's where my stepping stones are...so no one was injured! I did lose a few friends though...a peppermint in a pot...quite a few impatiens...everyone got a bit battered...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest that survived are back to this! We have been in the low 70's since then...chilly at night, but wonderful gardening weather during the day...in fact as soon as I finish my post I am going back out to garden on the side of the house and wash a few windows...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Season...I am going to take some time to read all your back posts and make a HUGE effort to catch up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
