Congrats to my new Second Grader

-
Little man is finishing up first grade.  Never thought this little 1 pound 3 ounce 23 weeker would turn into this strong, healthy young man.  I thank God for him each and every day. 

This first picture is of one of his classmates - it was her dad that took such excellent photos and emailed them to me - both her mom and dad were very involved all year, which as a homeroom mom, I really appreciated!


The "graduation party" started off with a show for the parents - they all were flowers ... and they were surprisingly loud flowers .

They also did a song on money - each child was some denomination of money - Adam was the dime !
My second oldest daughter loves being in his classroom, and the kids all love her.  Adam's teacher, Ms. Ludgate, gave all the kids beach buckets filled with nifty gifts - including way cool sun glasses !
I usually take all the kids with me when I go to Adam's parties, as homeroom mom, it was my job to make sure everyone had a good time - and it was much easier with 3 extra set of hands - plus the kids loved them, because they were more their size !
Great Job Adam -   and I know you'll do really well in second grade.  Both Daddy and I are proud of everything you have accomplished !

Yay! Photos of everyone (well... not Dad, but he's rarely in them ever.) But Yay for photos of everyone else, especially Mom!

And Congratulations Mr. Adam!! I remember well when you were that little tiny, too-soon peanut we all prayed for. Have fun in 2nd grade!

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 !
