What a Crazy Roller Coaster

…. or sometimes I’d like to know what the Lord is up to…. (but I’ll get to that in a moment)
When I last left you the week began on a sad note.  That week only got worse.  I really do try not to be too attached to things.  I promise.  But when I was rear-ended [...]

Late Night Trying to Kick the Hamster Off the Wheel

I start a new job in the morning.  It’s a job, there’s work, but I *get* to work in a quilt fabric shop.  I’m really excited.  It’s like a candy shop for any quilter.  I literally sigh every time I walk in the shop I just love it that much. 
So I’m sitting here at almost [...]

Brain Dump

I’m working on a quilt project.  Shhh.. it’s a suprise for…. I’m not even posting who yet.  Just in case he decides to pop in.  All the blocks are done and I’m going to finish the top tomorrow.  
I also sign up for a nine patch a day quilt a long.  WHAT was I thinking?  I’m already [...]

My bucket list

A tag going around facebook had me wondering “What IS on MY bucket list.”  Some of the things on that list are… some of them aren’t.  The great thing is, I’ve done some of the things on the list…. but I’ve added to it.  So.  In no particular order.  My list.

Go to Scotland
Go to Italy

A Patchwork Week…..or more

Is it any wonder I love quilting?  There are so many metaphores that can be stacked, chopped and pieced back together in a thousand different ways to describe life.  But that’s not what this post is about (WHEW! Right? breathe… I wouldn’t do that.  Ok.  I might.  But only late at night…. I hope.)
Life never [...]

First Thoughts and Impressions

I love General Conference.  I’ll post more later I’m sure, but the first session was so amazing I just couldn’t wait to post a few of the things that were stand-outs for me.  (These aren’t all quotes.  Some have to do with the topic of the speaker’s talk)

When I was little all of the temples [...]

Tag! You’re It!

If you’ve blogged for any time at all you’ve heard of tagging… Here’s one that makes you think just a bit.  And just to share the love – consider yourself tagged (that’s how I got it, so it’s only fair! – and let me know if you don’t mind so I can read your reponses.  [...]

So What Would YOU Do?

If your children were off having their own adventures, what would you have done with the time?  I started off with working some things for my calling at church.  Every now and then there are things that need to be updated and Thursday morning was a good time to do that.  Once dh got home [...]

Topic Hopping

Other people call it  Random thoughts – I call it Topic Hopping.  When your mind doesn’t seem to settle on one subject but jump from one to the other.   When I’m in serious topic hop mode having a conversation with me can be seriously difficult to follow.  This post could also be called a brain [...]
