Sewing and Reading

Presenting my latest quilt...

I made this one from the same pattern as my last quilt. I think it turned out good. They are so easy to make and I gave this one to Chase. He really liked it, but I think Cody was just as excited about the finished product.

I think I would like to make more of these and would like to try to put together another one more girlish and see how it turns out.

Now off to the fabric store to see what I can come up with to do next!

----------------------------------------------------------

I have finished reading my latest book...3rd series of the Manning Series - The Manning Grooms. Very good series of books. I loved reading books like that and it sweeps me away into a different time, place and life.

I will have to go now to the used book store and see what I can find to read next!

Books, Backyard, and Work

I have been swept away with this little thing called a romance book.

I am reading The Manning Series books by Debbie Macomber. I am reading book #2 right now The Manning Brides. I am useless to my family right now until I get it out of my system. It is taking everything right now to type this and not be curled up reading.

So until I get this out of my system...I will be gone into another world of reading!

------------------------------------------------

I am also getting ready for a small Easter celebration at my house on Saturday. I can't wait and should be fun. I have filled probably 100 and something plastic eggs which we will hide on Saturday. With our new flat backyard it will be fun!

-------------------------------------------------

I am also going back to work - part time - 3 days a week starting on Monday. So I have been getting my routine back for working. I can't wait! I have loved spending the time with Chase and Cody but I have also missed actually learning and working. It's hard to explain but I am looking forward to the challenges that lay ahead of me. I have to learn a new computer system along with a new accounting program but thinking that it will be fun to learn something new.

-----------------------------------------------

I am going tomorrow to get my next sewing project. I know starting a sewing project before starting work not a good idea but I am hoping still to have enough time to myself that I can continue to work on my hobby!

The weather here the last few days have been perfect, and the boys are just loving the new flat backyard! They even loved the almost flat backyard while the tractor was working. They got out their dump trucks one evening after the tractor stopped working and went to work putting lots of miles on those tires!
