Oh No!!! I'm really late this month!

Yes I have been among the missing... Thought I would check in before you all thought I’d disappeared altogether. Nope. Still hanging around. Still hanging in. I am very sorry it’s been so sporadic of late, I’ve begun posts in my head many times but as I haven’t been near a computer to post they have not made it online... I’m sure you understand.

I have had my share of good days and bad days, there has been a lot of activity! I credit a very busy schedule of getting back into the grove of working, trying to blog, trying to get some much needed sewing time, and a new grandson's arrival this week with my being among the missing more often than not... So, with out much further ado...

I have to admit that I know that  I am really late this month for the BOM's! And I have gotten my month's confused!



So for Blogger BOM, hosted by Jackie from Canton Village Quilt Works it is time to do my February block tutorial from Amy Smart @ Diary of a Quilter.  It is a cute block...

I also have to do March's block which is a visit to Allison Harris @ Cluck Cluck Sew blog for the directions check out her super cute block! 

I have not even shared the love at the FLICKER GROUP with the February block...

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day...

Ah what a weekend... Hubby broke a tooth late Friday night, came down with a cold, and the dentist office was closed for the weekend... Saturday we took the Janome 6600 up to Nashua, hubby was still not feeling well, so we did a very quick turn around and came back home... Went food/stuff for the house shopping on the way home and purchased the tax software to start the annual "bitch & moan" session. Oh joy, oh rapture :) Then a wonderful dinner at Mom's with friends of my sister up visiting, as well as my daughter, brother, SIL, and a niece. It was fun, company was great, and I am glad hubby took a 3 hour nap before we went over. 


Sunday I spent a bit of time going over my 2011 photos and blog posting. I got to thinking that it is a good idea to look back on past projects because then you know how much your style has improved, changed, or stayed the same. I look at this blog as one big project - a visual diary of my/our lives here and my sewing/quilting and looking for a life and work balance. As well as looking for work to support my sewing/quilting habit... I am very happy with my growth on so many fronts... hoping this translates into growth in finding a position soon. 

Now I am off to work on my table of projects... if the cat lets me get close to my hand sewing...

As you can tell... I have taken over the Dining Room with my sewing... need to take time to weed this all out... Tux  jumped up on my lap as I started to do the hand sewing, not anything new, just that hubby had the camera in hand to take a picture. As you can tell, he does this often.


Thanks for stopping by, Ciao for now :)
