Finding My "Happy Place"

Today is a day I would like to forget and move on.  I have truly had a day that has left me in turmoil and topsy turvied my life.  I have no idea how it began, but let's just say it needs to end.

Everyone knows my love is Steve.  He is going through some tough times right now; nothing I feel like I can share with a soul, and because I cannot share it tears me up inside and out.  I lash out and those who love me and I cannot for the life of me seem to stop.

Something Special About Aedan's Lap Quilt...

It looks like him!  :-)

Yes, I will make him a 'big boy' quilt, but this is his lap quilt so he will always know how much I love him.  We will cuddle every single day.

Serioulsy, isn't he cute?

Wonder who he looks like?

 

Yeah, I think he has a little of his mommy tucked in there, too!


Did I tell you that Jeremy and his family came out here for 12 days??  WHOOT!  More on that coming now that I have my blog making me smile again!

They Like Each Other

I think.

They cuddle.

Yes, she is ours.  Her name is Missy.  

Or BC.  BC for Bad Cat.

Steve calls her DC. 

I won't elaborate on his name for her.  

Use your imagination.

Here I Go Again...

My blog background changed.  I hate it.  

I lost my old one because that person I got it from quit paying their bill.  It looked like *I* had quit.  

I am an Einstein... I didn't realize that was what was going on... so I paid everyone and their dog to get it back up. THEN I realized it wasn't ME it was HER!  *sigh*

Then I used a generic background that blogger offered me.

Did I say that I hated it?

I changed it.  Again.  I still hated it.

So I ignored my blog.  I hated going to it.  It is ugly.  Bad ugly.  But I don't know what I want on it now!

So many times I refer to it for other things that have happened though...  I WANT MY BLOG!  I want my OLD blog back!  

Now I have no idea who I got it from so I have no way of going back. 

I just changed it again to another crappy background.  Yeah, I hate it as well.

But I am going to keep on working on getting it up and running, making me happy again.  You will likely see many changes over the next few days/weeks.  Just ignore them.  It might take me a bit to make me smile again, but it is gonna happen!

I love posting!  I love being able to go back and see where my life has taken me.  I love hearing other people comment on things they  have read on my blog.  And I love referring to it when I want to show a picture of my chicken coop, or my garden, or my daughter's horse, or my granddaugher's dress, or my grandson's visit.

So I am going back.  

Sit back and watch.

It might be amusing.

And I will blog.  

Again.  

Yes, I know, this is getting old.  

To both of us.

Good Morning!

It is a RACE day - got sooo much to do and so little energy/time to do it!


But yesterday was AWESOME!  Raelee and I are working on fair projects.  This is what she got done yesterday:

What are the quilt blocks going to be you say?  Just you wait and see - it is worth the wait though!  

She should be done early next week - only 'cause granny is lolly gagging.  She is doing a wonderful job on all her projects though!


Did I say we had a new cat to match our not-so-old dog?

Steve said he does NOT want a cat... yeah, right.  Look who has the cat on his lap!  Lol...

Her name is Cuddles.  Raelee named her.  Cuddles is just happy to have a place called home.  She likes not dodging cars and getting tossed out of the town library!  We do love her already.  She entertains us.  Princess Cost a Lot (our old cat) is not amused though.  

Not.  At.  All.  

Silly cats.

Say some prayers for my aunt and uncle in Hawaii - and all the people on the islands.  They are going to be hit by 2 hurricanes.  Ugh.  I will be saying lots of prayers for them.  Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit - but how to you evacuate when hurricanes come in?  Exactly.  You don't.  Hang on and hang in there Aunt Jacque and Uncle Van!  Sending more prayers your way.


Off to run my errands!  Have a terrific day.  :-)  

And pray, please?

Our New Kitty (Maybe)

Our new kitty may be out numbered... just sayin'...

And we are not yet sure if she is our new kitty.  Someone is trying to claim her but they have stood me up.  Ask how long I am going to play this game...

We shall see.

Hello Sunshine! Step Brazillion - But Almost There!

Hello Sunshine! is back from the quilter... Now to bind it.

Isn't it beautiful??

Off to work on our Quilts of Valor today.  Will be there all day working with other girls on our quilts.

 
While getting ready for Quilts of Valor I saw another project in the works... 

But you are forbidden to look at the projects in the storage tubs in the background.  QUICK!  Close your eyes!

You didn't, did you?
