June 26th - Miss me?

-
Whew - busy, busy weekend. My "sister" came to take the girls last Thursday - and I've been running ever since. Had a great weekend with Adam - we did so much - Chuck E Cheese, swimming, shopping - it was a blast. He is very well-behaved when his 3 older sisters aren't around to torture him.


I did miss my Weight Watchers Weigh In

But - the scale at home looked OK. I didn't want to wake the little man up so early - and there was no one home to stay with him.
I switched to Core a couple weeks ago - I think if I can follow the program a little better - it'll work for me. I feel much better since I started limiting my carbs - and there are some wonderful meals that are core, that even the kids like.
OH - if you ever shop at overstock - take some time today to send this email - Free shipping all year - amazing - check out this link
love this web site - and this is simply an amazing deal.
Movies today - our local theater has free movies at 10 a.m. each Tuesday - works out great for us - cause we get done swim practice at 9:30. Do ahve some errands to run afterwards - but will still be back home in time to get a full day of school in :)
Hopefully the sun will stay out and we can get some swimming in as well.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
