Knock off the Old Quilt

Finally a quilt that might interest me....

I saw a pattern that I like. I drafted it in EQ. The quilt was scrappy, but my drafted quilt is all the same fabrics because I didn't want to spend the time making a bunch of block with different fabrics to set into the quilt.

The block could be drafted another way, but I just made it with HSTs.

The One and Only....

Too funny...

I've had a lot of fun over the years since IPods and ITunes adding favorite songs to my library, especially from my youth.

There has been one song that I check for everytime I remember that has been unavailable.  What should I check on today while downloading the Breaking Dawn Score....because if I'm going to buy something, I might as well buy more??????  Yes, The One and Only by Chesney Hawkes and woohoo, it was there!!!

Quiltless Christmas

Every year about this time I get this urge to make a last minute quilt for someone for christmas.

I don't have that urge this year.....

Maybe I'm cured?

Too Much to Say

Ever have too much say and are really just too lazy to take the time to type it all out?

Yep!  That's me.

Aren't y'all lucky that I'm that lazy?!

It's nothing that good anyway.....

I have been busy virtually quilting.  My sewing machine hasn't been on for at least a month, though.

That's where I'll be for now....

Eager to be done with 2011!

I don't have much to say, but that.

I don't seem to be interested in regular quilting anymore.  I have started to go through all my fabric and will be taking it somewhere, donating it, or listing it on Craig's List.

I am eager to see the movie on 11/18.  I won't be going to a midnight showing for the first time.  I'm not eager to sit out in the cold for hours in line to get a good seat.  I may play hooky at some point on Friday to see it because I'll only be able to stand waiting that long.  I wish I had someone to share it with, but I don't.

I don't foresee getting anything done around the house to end my year, either.  I've pretty much given up caring for real, real about it.  Hey, it's less work for me.....  C is the only one who does her chores to get paid.  Z could get paid, but he doesn't care so he never does his chores.  S is all caught up in the fact that she doesn't like and want to do what I've suggested she do for chores and an allowance, nor does she think she would get paid enough so says what's the point.

Alex has been classified officially as "disabled" so that he can go down to the nurse's office everyday for uninterrupted bathroom time.  I think it's the silliest thing ever....

C is driving.....  I haven't had the pleasure of being a passenger.  M let her drive on an actual road the other day and about had heart failure after a couple of near misses.

We're done with soccer, but S is playing basketball.  C wants to play indoor, but we're having trouble finding a spot for her.  She is distraught at the thought of not playing.  I think she's addicted.

I had my three year anniversary at work.  I seem to be appreciated here with a nice raise as proof.  In this economy, I'm pretty lucky!

My mom's health is failing.  I'm scared @#$%less about that.

2012?  Bring it ON!!!

You know you're busy when...

You don't have time to think much about how things really are.

Life is keeping me super busy right now.  I wish I could say that I'm accomplishing a lot, but I can't.  All I do is run around from one activity to another, spend just enough time on housework to keep things semi-clean and everyone in clean clothes, and have just enough time to get the minimum amount of sleep required.

What can I tell you?!

C is changing schools for spring semester as mentioned.  M will take her to register on Thursday AND, if time, take her to get her driver's permit.  gasp!

We meet with A's school next week for his 504 meeting.  He has scheduled times during the day that he goes down to the nurse for private bathroom time.  Lord knows in this day and age he can't just do that, but has to be on a PLAN to protect his rights.  UGH.....  In addition to being an ILP kid, he'll now be a 504 kid.  Considering the fact that we aren't happy with Englewood Schools after elementary and will probably have all of them go to a different district from middle school on unless things drastically change, the labeling will make it that much harder to get him in an out of district school.  Although, I've heard that schools can extra money for certain things so maybe it could be to our benefit?!

I'll have 3 years at my job in November.  Thank you GOD!  M just had his one-year anniversary with his new company.  He is doing well.  KNOCK ON WOOD

Soccer season is almost over!  I'd like to take a break for awhile, but C wants to play indoor if she can find a team.  S and A want to play rec basketball.

I only have virtual quilting to report on.  I'm in a slump....or something.  I went through some EQ files last night.  I had EQ5 files on my laptop, that is on its last legs, and that we recovered from the old home pc that died months ago.  I even had EQ4 files.  I only saved about 20 and deleted the rest.  I didn't use the program for much quilt designing then, and not much now, and really only to print patterns.  I need to go through all the pictures and documents I have saved, but after spending too much time looking for a thumb drive and driving across town to get C from practice, I didn't have a lot of time to work.  I found some old New Moon Quilt stuff which still annoys me, but not the pattern I was really looking for.
