Homeroom mom? Me?

-
Yep, me, the homeschooling mom is also now my son's homeroom mom. Too funny, but I think we'll both enjoy it. Plus, I'm financially able to supply the class with some fun stuff - so it'll be good for everyone year round.

Big dinner tonight. About 20 people. Everything on the grill - except green bean casserole and rice. I'll be busy later, but for now - I'm relaxing. Steam cleaned all the carpets yesterday - so just a quick dusting, and I'm ready.

Need to go check out some stuff for Halloween stuff for the classroom - Of course, Oriental Trading is the place to go.

Free Shipping on $60+ Oriental Trading Company Coupon: RLS100 exp 9/30

with the free shipping, I'll probably order stuff for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays as well.

WW was great this week - down 2.6. It's a good start - just gotta keep it going that direction.

That's cool, duck. Sounds like you're full of ideas for the class and the weight loss is on track.

FYI, I took my blog down.

Let's talk soon.

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 !
