Karen's latest baby quilts.....

Karen came over this afternoon to show me
all the quilts she has been working on....
A little boy due in March will get
this one.

This isn't for anyone in particular....

But she wanted to have a baby girl quilt ready to go.

Just in case someone has a girl...someday...

It is so soft and sweet.

There is a blue one done up just like this one....

but that one is at the quilters already.

Another boy one....

When she finished it, she called and said.

"It looks so plain. So dull"

(or maybe it was texted to me...anyway)

How about appliqued hearts?


But it's a boy quit...oh yah....How about stars!

That did the trick...I love it.

Those girls at the office have no idea how lucky they are...

They are lucky Karen works there with them...

and she has been sewing up a storm!!!

Instead of "quilts by others" I should have just labeled it "Karen's"

ozzy...

This is the last page for awhile.

There was this stack of photos from 2008...

all separated into groups...

(I don't remember doing this, but I must have)

It sure helped get going on some pages though.

My pile of completed pages keeps on growing.

Now back to some unfinished sewing projects

and maybe a new one or two.

friday and saturday....

Crispy wanted to know....

would be all right if

some of his friends came over.....

"how many?"

"oh... just a few"

they wanted to play video games.

I say this is more like several.

But what do I know??

Poor Ozzy....hardly any room on the rug for him

after I arranged the shoes!

They must have had fun.....

they gathered both Friday and Saturday night.

hope they win...

It won't be long now...
In about 1 hour
I will watch some football...

Go VIKINGS !!!!!!!

Once in awhile you gotta love a cheese head.

birthday page

I wasn't sure how to scrap a birthday picture of a twenty-something with a really rinky-dink cake. (the big guy, my oldest)

....and then....

I saw this quote....

* (light bulb popping on)

that's it....that's what I can use.....

It is a quote from Paul Hawken.

See the checkered squares???

and the black behind the letters for LIFE????

They came from the film strip frames in Snow Cold....

(below)

It just tickles me when I do things like that.....

2 page spread....

no school....again......

I actually went to the post office and mailed off

Carolina Christmas, Bri's card and Maddie's little book...

all about her trip here to Iowa.

This is the last page.

Two more pages to show on the blog.

In 2008 my aunt Meta turned 99.

whoa!!!

99?

geez, we better go celebrate with her.....

On Sundays, she loves to eat the Snackers @ Kentucky Fried Chicken...

and then go to bingo!

So that is what we did, we went to KFC.

Then back to her house in Minneapolis for cake and ice cream!!

We didn't do the bingo that trip...

(we saved it for her 100th last year)

I wore pink.

It was March, spring was officially here...

even if the weather was still cold and snowy.


We did the tourist thing and stopped at

Minnehaha Falls.

They were half frozen.

I know I sound like a broken record, but...

They were SO PRETTY

I am so proud of myself here....
I was going through a box of paper and found...
the snowflakes, I bet they are almost 10 years old.
The darker snowflake paper was in there too.
I used it as is, just glued it down.
And the words...I cut them out of the back of a
Christmas card I had cut up earlier.

Yes, I have a problem with throwing things away.
You never know when you might need something!
