Okay, trying to stay current with this blog....can I just tell you how crazy it is trying to keep up with the garden, rather the weed bed, the lawn that hasn't been mowed since July 1st, running up and down the road to the lake for sailing, swimming and other enjoyable summer activities. Add to the mix an Etsy shop with all the street teams and promotional work, a blog and a Flickr account.......then bills and other mundane household chores......anyone ever sleep?

I did take time off and read the last Harry Potter book.....I am not going to spoil the ending for anyone, but the actual ending (who lives and who dies) really wasn't that important.....the entire ending was so much more complex and very well written and thought out. I was sad that the books are done, but was very pleased with how well all the loose ends were tied. So, that leads to the next question...what to read next. I will take suggestions from anyone!

Crazy Busy Summer

Okay, I have not had time to update this in over a month. Summer is so nutty. Going to the lake, sailing, the kids' swimming lessons....I live in my car and drive all over during the summer. It is nutty, but I miss the lake, too.

The kids are learning how to swim, my house is staying relatively clean, since we aren't there very much, and it is fun to see the friends I only see in the summer....so I am going to try and keep this and my new flickr account updated a little more often....

Getting the hang of it

Okay, I think I am getting the hang of the blogging, it's just finding the time.....I have been working in my garden and have gotten the "something blooming all the time" thing figured out for spring...now I have to work on summer and fall!

Rags to Riches

Oh My Goodness......

Rags to Riches becomes the first filly to win the Belmont Stakes in 102 years.......it was an amazing race.....she won by a head! I had tears in my eyes and was jumping all over the house.....I normally don't yell quite that loudly at a horse on TV, but this particular instance was just so amazing.

Sunday

Well, we had one heck of a thunderstorm with hail and high winds yesterday......my vegetable garden is destroyed. Took pictures of the gardens yesterday morning....then took some "after" pictures. My goal for the week is to try and get the pictures up to show.

It's supposed to rain for the next few days, guess I have no excuse to not finish urethaning my new dining room table, cleaning out closets, all that fun stuff that the kids like to help do........

Tuesday, Day of of Blog life

Okay, here is my second posting---I should be sewing right now, or doing laundry, but here I am trying to keep up with technology instead......oh well. Trying to figure out how to add pictures....that is my goal for today.

Please check out my etsy shop, there are lots of great things, beer quilts, some Christmas decor, jewelry, quilted tote bags, lap and wall quilts....and even a festive fowl!

Check out all of the other greatshops by other Etsy Mom's...we are all just as frazzled as the other, but very creative as well.

Monday!

Welcome to my new blog! It is not even 24 hours old! With a very active 3 and 4 year old, my time is limited, so bear with me. Now that I'm a stay home mom, I am really enjoying having the time to design and create with fabrics.

Keep checking back....I will be updating and improving my blog as time permits.

Please check out my Etsy page and all the Etsymom shops!

Have a great day!
