how?

my honey’s gone out with a friend tonight and all the babies are sleeping peacefully.  i’m only a tv fiend when i have him to watch with me.  so, unfortunately, that leaves me lots of quiet time to think.  it’s unfortunate because i’m not used to it.  the peace is good, but lonely.  sure, there are [...]

gettin’ real

yeah, so the other day i dropped this little bomb and never shared anything more.  partly because my husband’s been doing web design and i have to fight for my spot at the ‘puter and partly because i was awaiting my sanity to return.  and, as i was daily running through my head how i [...]

the one in the works

                                    
this one is still in the works, i have to quilt it together and finish the edges.  and, no, i do not have a child in the works to go with this one!  i just liked the material that was given to me (thanks, kristi!) and wanted to try a little harder pattern.  i [...]

my first born’s quilt

                                       
his was the first i ever made.  it’s made out of my hubby’s and my old jeans.  i think it’s pretty obvious that i’ve never had a quilting lesson in my life.  but if you’re offering one up, i’ll gladly take it!  i know you can’t tell here, but they’re crib quilts.  and as they’ve [...]

my girl’s quilt

                                          
hers and baby boy’s are the only 2 that i actually went out and bought material for.  the rest are either material that’s been given to me or made out of our old clothes. 
                                        
here’s hers up close.

my fourth child’s quilt

                                        
his was made while i was pregnant with my third baby, because i didn’t know if i was having a boy or a girl.  so i made his and hers at the same time.
                                       
up close.  2 ginghams, yellow flowers, and that’s bumblebees if it’s still hard to see.  as you can tell, i [...]

my second born’s quilt

                                       
for maury, who keeps asking, and i keep putting it off.  i tell myself it’s because i don’t want to brag and show off, but good grief, what else is this blog about if it isn’t bragging and showing off?!  so here it is.  i kinda finished it on time for the trip – i [...]

blog party!

if you haven’t read especially heather you should.  i think you’ll find her uplifting and will want to lift her up.  God is using her in incredible ways and she can always use more encouragement. 
she’s half-way through her radiation treatment and is throwing a blog party.  you should go here and add to the comments [...]

in all my spare time

                                 
yesterday i was brainstorming how to keep the boredom away for my kiddos and do something fun for me as well.  so i made these very crude dolls with interchangeable outfits.  i haven’t finished them, but i didn’t want to go to a lot of trouble if my kids were gonna go, “oh, huh, a [...]

say hello to my little friend

                                  
i don’t really feel like going into all of it right now.  too much to write.  this is the main reason i’ve been away from blogland.  i need this jagged little thing.  to the tune of $55 a month.  at any rate, i’m on my way to a saner life.  (and just think, i’m [...]
