Piece & Plenty, Calico Craze, Grandchildren

I have been twiddling my thumbs since Thursday when my phone and DSL line got cut, thanks to the person who marked the yard so we could repair our fence. I have had serious internet withdrawal, a WHOLE THREE DAYS!!!! with no internet!! Ohhhhh, I think I am going to faint just thinking about it again!

With all of this time on my hands I actually got a little quilting done, lol. I now have 6 Calico Craze blocks done. It is coming off the design wall because I need to concentrate on the Web Sampler and there is not room for both of them up there. So you won’t see it for a while I don’t think.



Here is Piece and Plenty in all of its glory. I cannot believe I have managed to stay up with this BOM. It sure takes a lot of time, but gosh, I am loving these blocks! 6 months completed! I get a great big star! Kudos to Fat Quarter Shop for the nice way this BOM has been handled. Everything is right with the blocks when you get them. It is amazing!



Here is a picture of Kyra with her hair braided in a heart for Valentine's Day. Isn't this a neat idea? I know I am a little late with this, but it could be for Easter too! :>)



Here are Kyle and Aud, playing cards.


And here is Kyle laughing his head off because he is beating us!!! He spent a couple of days with us about the time I got sick and we had a great time. Played Crazy 8 until I thought I would turn into one, lol.

Quilt Challenge Week 5 and Grandchildren

Since I got nothing else done on my quilt for the challenge that I am doing with Lisa, Nicole, and Cindy I decided to show you Arabella. She was my Quilt of the Month for December and she is made from a pattern in Blended Quilts by In The Beginning. I have this one hanging in my sewing room so I can enjoy it. Mother wants it for the table, lol, but so far I have said no.

The families have all come and gone for the holidays, the living area is straight one more time, the towels and sheets are washed and put away, and Aud and I are tired, lol.

Below are pictures of my grandchildren.

This is Keith, he is 14 and is playing Halo 3 with someone online.

This is Jackson, he is 17, and will graduate from high school in June

The younger ones, Kyra, Kyle, and Katy. The girls always flock to Kyle when they are together. He has a devilish grin, lol, and is going to be a true lady's man when he grows up. Kyle and Jackson are brothers, and Kyra and Katy are sisters. Keith is an only child.

This is Kyle. See what I mean about the devilish grin? :>)

And last, but not least by any means, are Kyra and Katy opening their Annie dolls I got them for Christmas. I think they like them.

AND, I won my bet with myself. My printer driver CD did NOT come in Saturday. However, when I was looking for something else, I found the one I had searched for for 2 days, lol. I just haven't had time to load them yet. Maybe tomorrow.
