Wonderful weekend

It was great to have my siblings here for my 'younger' brother's birthday weekend. Now that everyone is headed off to their homes, it's time for me to get back to the projects at hand.

First off I need to get things organized to be able to work on the multitude of different projects. I also have to add in a few baby quilts for cousins who have had new baby's and for our new grandson, due the beginning of April. Time is flying!

Today is a quiet day as my hubby is home due to the federal holiday, so it has been slow. It has been a party weekend for all of us, just not the stress of the holidays, which was a wonderful relief.

I have not gotten onto my machine, but I'm going to play with my Valentine gift this afternoon... Oh, I realize I didn't share what I got for a gift!

Yes, I did get a serger/overlock machine... :) I do love my hubby! He does grant my wishes before I even mention them to him... So this is a Janome Mylock 634D Overlock machine, now I have two Janome's! Sweet! 

So I am off to play!

Thanks for stopping by, Ciao for now!

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 :)
