Things change Fast:

After a couple days of pounding constantly this is just about done

they finally got he house across the street on rails

At the end of today they got the wheels on it for moving

hopefull tomorrow they will have it out of there

Making new friends

What is this? I have never seen one of these before.

Maybe we'll be friends!

sniff sniff...could happen!! sniff sniff
Okay maybe not... that thing has sharp feet!!

In this last photo I just missed the cat taking a couple

swipes at Rocco

This pattern is called

"broken dish"

This is the quilt that I was going to make

on the classes that I booked for my holidays.

Didn't get to take the classes since I didn't have a

sewing machine to take the classes.

I did how ever make the time to go learn how to cut fabric properly

so I dont screw it up too much.

That was 3 hours of fun. I ended up with a lot

of small 5" squares

I finally got my sewing machine back!!!

Only after they had it once then they broke it/ lost parts and I sent it back yet again

to be fixed....Then they lost the machine for a week.

And then had the nerve to tell me it was all my fault

( they are lucky they were far from me when they told me that info)

And the worst part is....it is still missing screws!! ughhhhh

DONT sent your stuff back to Sears to get fixed!!

So today I sewed them all together then cut pressed and sewed

some more. I was very nervous to if they would turn out or not

I'd say they look pretty good....now to finish the other 9 before I can go

back to the store for the next set of square making

Quilt # 7

This is just about done

just have to figure out how to put it

together so I can machine quilt

by myself...guess another trip to the

quilt shop.

Hey Mom did you ever think that you'd

hear that come out of my mouth!!

About Robbie:

Well I know you all know Robbie fairly well.

So you know when I say this it is with lots of

LOVE!!

He can come up with some REALLY interesting

hairbrained ideas of things to do.

I have a really nice acustic bass guitar.

(sitting gathering dust bunnies)

I even bought that DVD that teaches one to play

I got him one for keyboards too.

Still NO musican there.

Last month while in MJ for a visit. We drove to Regina

to visit with a friend that we have not seen for years.

It was a good visit. We met Bobbie at Chapters.

Opps wrong store to go too. He decided that he now wants to learn

how to "Draw", Okay being the supportive wife that I am

bought him books and supplies for him to learn how to draw.

I am very impressed that tonight he actually picked up his supplies and book

after having them for over a month.

He drew a picture!!!!!!

yeah for Robbie

Below are photos of his 1st drawing

Sorry my 1st pic was a little lite in colour

but the 2nd on I cut the corner out

thus why we have 2 photos

CONGRATS Robbie on your 1st drawing!!

According to Robbie it is called

"Wooly Woo" the dust bunny

Where did it go??? I just saw it!!

Tonight my mom was making fun of me and wouldnt help me!

She fed me spaghetti for supper. When I grab some noodles.

I flicked my head and a couple of noodles got stuck on my ears.

DO you think that she'd help me get them off my head....NOOOOOOO

she laughed at me when I turned my head to grab one and the other one I could see too

so I tried for that one..back and forth it went....SHE laughed at me and tried

taking photos of it...NOT NICE MOM!!!

thanks for helping Dad get those noodle off my head

This is quilt #6:

This one I made for Selena...I hope that she likes it. I am signing up for

a quilting class to learn how to do it properly.

looking forward to getting it done.

The Wii Challenge Round:

This is a funny video of Robbie and Grace

Playing the Wii Sports.

Robbie kicked Grace's butt 3 games to 2

This is the boxing round where Garcie kills him

Inukshuk

Not sure if that is how you spell it but oh well. This is what the girl

down the street did for us.

She thinks that we are the cool people on our block so she built it one day

last week for us.

just had to take a photo of it

New Name:

Well we have decided to give Rocco a new name this week. He seems to come by it naturally.

We have given his new name as "Bernard"

He seems to think that he is a BIG dog stuck in a little body.

Thus the name "Bernard" as in St Bernard. He has the tendancy

to run around the PMQ like a big ole rhino. When it comes to food

watch out. He's gotta be more careful or he'll

knock himself out. Okay to explain this more he spins circle (donuts)

round 'n' round he goes ( like a top) coming close to

hitting his head either on the door frame or wall.

Once he's done eating he'll come into the living room look at us

and BURP all the while licking his lips.

After a few mins ask him again if he wants food or if he's hungry.

The top starts to spin again.

I think that he'll eat till he bursts.

More to come later!!
