Dear Jane Weekend

We have our Dear Jane exhibit in full swing at Four Seasons Quilts. I forgot my camera today but will go back tomorrow and take pictures. I cannot believe how beautiful those quilts are...every one of them. We have 11 of the 14 Neutral Jane Challenge quilts hung on the wall. Each one of them different but all made of the same blocks. That blows my little mind!

Today I am finishing up the quilt for this month's Heritage Club. It is made from a Dear Jane block, with Brenda's permission (of course!), and it is extraordinarily cute!

I hope all my friends are finding time to do something fun this weekend!

Yea for the weekend!

Grocery shopping is done already...Katie is such a great help with that stuff. We tried something new and wonderful. We stopped at Papa Murphy's for the d'lite pizza and came away with something delightful but not "light"...for breakfast we had the cinnamon thingie that they sell. Oh my! Twas good!

This weekend I am finishing up my Neutral Jane so I can turn it in to the shop...we hang our show on Friday and will have our open house on Saturday. I am excited! Our first Dear Jane show! There WILL be pictures!

Major Accomplishment!

OK...so the asbestos chimney liner is out and properly disposed of...the new furnace and air conditioner are in and saving me money (97.5% Efficient Furnace/ 18 SEAR AC vs 60% and 6 SEAR)...the holes in the walls (caused by the removal of the chimney liner) are repaired AND the painting is done. My gosh it has been a hectic and messy month and a half. Phew!

Busy weekend...we will be organizing and trying to get this mess under control.

Wish me luck.

I hope my friends have a great weekend!

Just another manic weekend...

Oh wait...it is supposed to be a Manic Monday. Phooey. Oh well, I will get a head start on it. Katie and I are working on her new school bag. This will be her last year at MCAD so we are going to pull out all the stops and make her a stand-out school bag. We are using the Laurel Burch mermaid as the front...it will be huge and will have special pockets...and she is going to embellish it with Swarovski crystals....I will post pictures when we get it finished.

I am navigating on two hours sleep. Jr. is soooo frightened of thunderstorms that we had a quivering, panting puppy all night long. I feel bad for him and hope we get over this before I die from lack of sleep. Lucky for him, he is a cute boy.

Sigh....Piece and Quiet....

and lemon cake. Yummy! Ms. Katie is in danger of missing out on the treat. Snerk, snerk!

I am going to applique today and to work on hand sewing a binding...and then I am going to prepare for the Heritage Club on Thursday. I have some research to do.

I am excited for Monday. I am having lunch with my former boss, Deb. She is going to meet me at Campiellos for lunch and I am bringing Joann, who also used to work for Deb. It is always good to catch up with what she is doing...she is a very interesting person and I enjoy her company.

Unfortunately, that is the highlight of the week...sigh...until Heritage Club on Thursday, at least.
