Visiting With Robbie's Mom

Baby Kail's Blankie:

This photo above is the start of Kail's blankie from auntie.

It doesn't look like much and I wondered if it would turn out.

After spend a couple hours sewing it together and then

A couple of hours clipping it. My hands were very tired and sore.

Still not sure if it would turn out.

The above photo is the end result of the 2 hours of clipping shaking out

and washing. Turned out the way it was supposed too.

I liked making this one. It was easy!!

Ready to make another one soon.

This the close up of what it looks like...I use "Peter Rabbit" flannel

FUN FUN!!

The Drink of Choice:

This morning when I came home from work. Robbie asked if

I would go get an "Energy Drink" for him.

Sure!!

Knowing that he was going for his PT test this morning.

I wondered why he was wanting a drink like this

but thought that maybe he REALLY wanted to pass!

This is the drink that I bought him. Once I returned home with it.

The look on his face was of shock. Then he asked me

"What are you trying to do Kill me? That drink will make my heart race too fast.. I'm old"

And he was very serious about it.

Well I kinda wondered why he wanted this drink.

He then tells me that he wanted a gatorade or power aid drink

like the one below.

We then went back to the store to get a drink but they didn't have anymore

so he ended up with stawberry flavored water.

So once I left him at the gym.. I went to 7-11 to get him

the "energy drink" that he wanted in the 1st place.

Well in my defense I just got home from a very long NIGHT at work.

Things that one needs when they get Older:

ohhhh alright when one gets injured these are a few things that you need for living

this fancy dancy $80 full lumber support back rest so

one can sit right in the house or car

this wonderful contraption on my butt is called an SI support belt.

it makes sure that my hips stay in place so that I dont

injure my lower back anymore than it is right now. it makes my

flat butt even flater (nice eh)

this nice peice of kit helps me pick up things that are on the floor

that i cannot reach so well

just thought i'd show another photo of my wonderful BUTT BELT

yeah isnt life exciting ***NOT***

Happy 47th B'day

Happy 47th B'day Robbie.. Hope that you had a good day

Take a look at this way cool cake

Ice cream cake from DQ

FOR SALE:

'95 GMC SONOMA TRUCK CANOPY

GET TRUCK FOR FREE

Yes this is correct. For the great price of $1000 firm for the canopy.

you get a free truck.

These are a few photos of the truck from all good views. The truck was purchased a few years ago. We spent $5600 on it when the mechanics said that it was good. We ended up spending all together $12000 We are not willing to spend anymore money on her. Right now she is slipping in reverse. I have taken a few steps to see if it will be corrected. We have changed the tranny fluid, shuttle valve, did another flush and this time added Lukas tranny fluid. She does go in reverse but very slowly.
THUS selling the canopy and giving the truck away for free with purchase of canopy

Next part of my quilt:

this is called "a block with in block"

not sure how they say that this is a beginners quilt.
this part is very very hard to do now
its going to take me a long time to do

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
