This Girl is On Fire...

So the chilly weather is gone, too soon. We've been going to the pool, but getting NO quilting done. My sweet daughter, Brooke has been into my stash and has made 6 or 7 quilt tops! She is giving me one to donate to our youth fundraiser next month. She keeps inviting me down to my fab quilt studio to quilt with her, but I just can't think in the messiness. The kids have their overflowing suitcases down there, and with all the other stuff down there, it's just a little messy for my taste. We are just a little cramped in this house with 8 people, but it's worth it!  Here is a picture of little Izzy at the pool:

She would not let her mom take her out of her little swim outfit all day, she just held on to her clothes and squealed! Hope your summer is going just the way you want it (mine is!)

Merrily, We Roll Along...

  Things are just moving along here, it went from really hot to quite chilly (yay!!) We are having a fun time with lots of grand kids here all the time.  There is some exciting news - our number 9 grandchild is on its way!  Here are the latest blocks from my quilt group block exchange, the theme was scrappy:

 Here is the "good deal" of a weight bench that ended up in my fabulous new bedroom while I was out of town: I have decided I will take a picture each time it is used for clothing and after so many, it goes! (Muhaha)

Speaking of our fabulous new master bedroom, it is FINISHED! It is gorgeous and each time I head in there during the day, I just want to sit down and stay! We still need a couple of chairs in there and a small table, but there is a comfortable chair in there, it's just a little worn looking and doesn't really match.  The office is pretty much done also, I am painting a little part of the built in desk and my wonderful daughter is here and she is going to refinish a couple of small things, then I will post pictures. Well, I'm off for a morning walk in this wonderful, chilly weather - hope you're having a great time, and if you're not, remember, it will pass! (That's what I keep telling myself!)
