It's Spring

Well I've been working on a lot of different projects over the last few months, and of course life keeps happening. But most recently it has been very eventful.

We had a wonderful temporary addition to our house.

And we lost one of our beloved family member, Caliope.

And I finished a few projects like this quilt. I am keeping this one for myself. I used it recently when I traveled to Denver to say good bye to my Uncle Al, who passed away this month. He will be missed. So much of my early life seems gone, as so many who were part of who made me who I am are gone. We are such a small family now. It is hard to let it go. Here is one of my favorite pictures of my Uncle Al that was given to be a few years ago.

And here is the quilt that I just finished.

New Stuff

Well I finally made a new quilt for myself. It is from a book tht I found which I just love. I don't normally do someones else's pattern, because my brain generally goes in other directions, but I loved this one so much that I thought that I would make it for me.

Time is going all too quickly. I really can not believe that the summer is half gone and that we are hald way throught the year 2009. Where did the days go. I have busy every day and the ones that I am not I veggitate and sleep. My 'zoo' keeps me pretty busy when I am not at work or quilting, which I have been crazy with the last two weeks. I am eating and sleeping sewing and having so much fun. I do not want it to come to an end. Oh well .......... then reality sets in.

Here is my latest creation and a very cool picture of Stiefel. He's such a cool cat.
