WOW 2 years since my last post

Well, Well, Well, hope all is well with everyone.  I am going to be posting more stuff now.  Just need to get my stuff together.  until later, bye, bye.

Ok here it is, 2013.  what have I been doing in 2012.  Busy, Busy, Busy.  I worked alot of overtime for work, work then sent me and 2 other co-workers to a coding class.  I went to my niece's wedding(but I didn't get her quilt done in time. 
My goal for 2013 is to get my niece's, brother's, son's, and my husband's quilts done.   Then I want to get my Sylvia Bridal's quilt done and then see what I have to get done with the start of projects that I have started.  I want also to get my craft room cleaned, organized.  I also went to get my scarves done that I had started way back in 2011(hahaha) and finish up the knitting blanket that I started as well and those granny squares I started at work(on my breaks).  I want to go to our church knitting/crocheting/quilting/crafting group that I had signed up for in 2012.
2013 is for me to get organized and complete the stuff that I had started years ago.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

wow sure have been busy with life

Hello to all crafters,
I am back to normal, I think, since my last post I have been very busy.  I working alot of overtime and work has selected me to take a coding class for work.  Well, I took the class and the test, did not pass that one, re took the test, did not pass that either, the test were hard.
So this pass saturday, I did nothing but go shopping for fabric and enjoy the day out by myself for about 3 hours, boy that was wrong I forgot it was the weekend as well as a busy one(christmas right around the corner) and everyone is shopping, traffic, YUCK!
Well, since my last post, I had gotten a job full time and when I told my husband that when I got a full time job that I was going to get a Sapphire 875Q quilt sewing machine, well I did it, and I LOVE IT!!!!!  No complaints from me at all.  Well I have not sewn on it much due to all the Overtime at work and studying for class and the exams.  Well I have started working on the Sapphire doing my niece's wedding quilt(which she got married in Aug 2012) opps, sorry but life got in my way(LOL) so, I am going to finish up her quilt top this weekend.  Almost there.
Ok, time to go and relax and do some knitting.  Since all of the studying is no in my way any more, I can start working on the knitting/crocheting/quilting that I have put aside.  Boy I sure do miss it all.

Ok, happy holidays to all crafters out there.

Until the  next post.

I got the final grade of a B

I got a final grade of a B for an online class that I was taking.  Boy I am sure glad that is over, it is hard taking an online class, going to night school and starting a new job at one time.  Boy I am sure glad that it is over.  Now I can concentrate on my knitting/quilting for the summer.  Oh yeah and go through our son's dresser drawers and closets to get rid of the old clothes that he does not wear anymore.
oh well, time to go and celebrate with a glass of wine, until later:)

My Baby is home-my babylock sewing machine

ok, she is home, I love her, still learning how she works, boy I can't wait to start my new project with her.  MY BABY IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  See pictures below.  I have so many projects going here, I think I will start my Block of the Month(with Millhouse Quilts) project with Audrey.  She is smaller then my Emerald-Viking sewing machine, lighter too :).  only 12.8 lbs, love it, I just love it.  Ok, until next posting, back to playing with Audrey:)

My New Baby Lock is coming home soon.

Ok, where do I start.  Ok, I am still working at the insurance place(which I am still a temp).  They posted a underwriting position which I applied for.  Hoping as well as other people that I get the job.  That would make my life so much easier.  I was in school for Basic Anatomy which I land up dropping because it was harder then I thought.  and the there was Intro to Health Records which because I missed 1 assignment, the teacher gave me a F as a final grade, unbelieveable.  oh well, will have to just take the classes again.  I know, what a waste it was.  but as far as for the basic anatomy class, the teacher, which this was her first class teaching it was no help at all.  she never checked our homework and that is hard because you don't know if you have the right answers for the quizzes/test.  that is how we study for them, from our home work.  Oh well, next fall again.  if I get this job, most likely it will only be one class at a time.  I am going to do overtime as much as I can/or they will let me do if they give me the job, keep your fingers crossed.

Ok, now on to other news.  my hubby told me the other night that my baby can come home soon, that is my Baby Lock Sewing machine(which I have on layaway).  Audrey is her name and I can't wait, 2 more weeks and she will be home with me.  I am so happy for that.  I am going to sew on it like crazy, ok maybe not that much until I figure it all out. 

Ok, time to get off the computer.  until next time, happy quilting/crocheting/knitting/crafting.

March 6th 2011

ok is has been sometime since I posted anything on my blog, here it goes.  I am still working the assignment went longer then planned.  I am now in school taking basic anatomy and intro to health records.  not too bad.  I am hungry to get back into quilting/knitting/crocheting.  I went to the quilt shop of whom I join the "Syliva's bridal sampler" which I just love.  I only did like 3 squares so far and they are like 1/3 into the 3-year quilt.  I am going to get caught up this summer(if I don't take a class at school).  I put money down on my baby, that is my new sewing machine, I put on layaway a brand new Baby Lock sewing machine(audrey).  I am going to love it when I get it home:).  I can keep my emerald sewing machine in place on the table and use Audrey for classes,retreats and taking up north to our summer home on the lake.  I have been trying to keep up with blogs on the quilter's blog.  I love that site.  Oh well, time to get back to life here, laundry, studying and wishing:).  until next time.

Wednesday night at home

I finally made it through the Medical Terminology class and I passed with a C, am I glad for that.  That class was not Easy at all.  I look forward to going to my next two classes here in the end of Jan 2011.  Basic Anatomy and Intro to Health Records.  I am back at work now, since Oct 4th 2010.  Where I was working(they laid me off), had called me back for a few months here.  I enjoy working there, it gives me more experience in the insurance world.  I also look forward to getting some quilting,knitting,crocheting, house cleaning and some other things done here in the next few weeks.  I only have a few weeks here because soon I will be back in school at night and studying.  Well, time to hit the hay here, or get to bed because some of us have to go to work tomorrow not like others(like son-off from school until Jan 3rd,2011 and husband who took off the time that the son has off.) 
Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Friday Afternoon

Ok, I am suppose to be studying, well I am not.  I am excited that I am going to the Madison Quilt Show in Madison, WI tomorrow 9-11-2010.  Meeting up with another quilter to ride with.  Tomorrow is also Patriotic Day.  It has been 9 years since our great nation was attacked.  I will have my moment of silence on my way to the quilt show.  Please take a moment of silence.  I am hoping that I will do good in Medical Terminology.  We will see.

ps, I want to get back to quilting,knitting,crocheting and life:)

Last Day of Summer Vacation(going back to school tomorrow)

Ok, wow, I can't believe it, it is that time again, the yellow school buses going pass the house:), got to love it:), no just kidding.  yep, it is that time.  Our son starts 2nd grade tomorrow.  Let's see how have I been since my last post? well, we were on vacation for another week, just loved that(have not had 2 weeks of vacation since never, in one summer). I finally got to go quilting on a friday night and got something done, just loved that.  Oh yeah, went school clothes shopping for our son.  I started school last night.  We took our son's school supplies to school to meet his teacher and where his class was yesterday before I had to go to class.  Today I had a job interview, wow, it has been like 3 yrs since I had a job interview.  Like I said, tomorrow our son is on the yellow school bus.  I can have my wednesday's back, that is I can go and quilt at the shop for a few hours.  Before you know it, it will be fall and then winter.  Well, time to get back into what ever I was doing, oh yeah, nothing:).  I will be spending the day with our son.  His last day with Mom, at McDonald's.  Lunch that is:).

Quiltersblog posting

I finally am linked to the Quilterblogs.com.  I just love reading all of the other people's blogs.  I am sooo happy.

Friday Night Sew

ok, here it is Friday Night Sew.  I started working on my many,many triangles(2-1/2) size.  I think I started like around 6:45pm or so? I stopped around 7:30pm, needed to get some things done around the house.  I will be going back to them around 9pm and staying up until I get tired.  Here are a few pictures of them.  I have like way over 600 2-1/2 in triangles.

First meeting with the Milwaukee/Madison Modern Quilt Guild

Ok, I finally made it to a meeting, like after 3 mnths:)  I enjoy meeting some of the members.  I learned how to hand applique:).  I was able to get my binding sewn and pressed for our son's green/brown quilt.  I just need to get some batting(most likely at JoAnn's) and then I have to get the backing fabric for it? I have no idea which color I am going with on the backing.  Green, Brown? So many choices:) I also worked on my brother's quilt for some of the time.  I enjoy the Mill House Quilt Shop.  I will be going back there some day, even though it is like 1-1/2 or less away from my house but it is a straight shot on Hwy-94 West. 
Ok, need to take a shower here and get some house work done as well as some quilting:)

Mid Summer Time

Ok, this is mid summer time here in WI.  We were on vacation with our family and my husband's parents.  We went up to our cabin.  Just loved it.  Nice weather finally.  Ok, we are back at home(came back this past weekend) and now it is Monday.  Time to get back in the swing of things.  Before I left for vacation, I received a gift card from my favorite quilt shop(the patched works) so yesterday on sunday I went there and picked up 2 packs of 1/8th fabric(from the 30's stuff), I paid for my Syliva Bridal Sampler class that I missed due to I was on vacation. Also I paid for my next one as well.  Ok, now I am going to try and figure out what I am going to make with my new fabric, oh wait, I need to put that on hold, I need to finish up my already unfinished projects.

Wednesday night

Ok, this is mid-week, hubby wants to plant some flower bulbs, so instead of quilting, or knitting, or crocheting, I go out and help him.  bugs I hate sooo much!!!! starting to make a list of stuff I need to get done, and I mean get done.  like the quilts, the crocheting items either I have started or put away with what I wanted to make.  that also goes for the knitting items as well.  I have started alot of projects in the crochet/knitting area:)  I must get organized and now:) I need to make room for my fabric. 
Ok, time to get off of the computer and started making my list.

Dr Appt and having no energy

Ok, since my last post, I have gone to the dr's and found out that we need alot of blood work done here:) not a problem to me.  As far as the friday night quilting.  I got some quilting done, but not a quilt top:( but since I went there that night, I was able to get 15 squares of my brother's quilt done.  not the whole square but part of them.  I still don't have any energy:) but I am sure all of my blood work will tell me something, hoping:)

I need energy NOW!!!!!!

ok, I have alot of projects in the making, but I have no energy.  we will be going on vacation soon, don't feel like it. I don't feel like doing anything, just sleeping, I am tired all of the time, no energy.  I went to the dentist yesterday and the lady who cleans my teeth wanted to know if I had diabetics, I told her I don't think so, not that I know much of my family's health history.  She told me to go and see my dr and have them do some blood work, well, I made the call.  I go next tuesday to see my dr.  I go to my crafting room and just look at stuff.  I hope this feeling goes away soon.  I am going to the quilt shop friday night for a sewing/laughing night out:).  I am hoping to get one of the many quilts done by then:).
I am going to see what my little boy is making out of legos,
until the next time I quilt.

Friday June 11th 2010

Ok, our little boy just got out of 1st grade, oh boy, how time does fly by.  I can remember when I just gave birth to him:).  I can't believe that he is out of 1st grade already.  We went out to lunch(he picked the place) which was Subway:) then we had errands to run, got them all out of the way.  Came home, ate supper.  Called grandma/grandpa and found out that they were coming up to see us for the weekend:) I can clean my house like in 3 hrs flat:).  Was going to get some quilting done but I had to clean instead:).  I was reading other bloggers and got on a bandwagon of this double hour glass quilt.  I am hooked.  another quilt top that I will be starting here this summer.  Just the other day, I found out that my local quilt shop is going to be doing another club.  A friendship triangle swap.  this will happen in July at the shop(the patched works).  I have no idea what I am going to do with our son this summer:) I can't get alot of quilting/knitting/crocheting done with him. 
We will just find out what I can get done this summer as far as quilting.  There is soooo many ideas out there that I want to do.  I am going to make a list and start from the top to the bottom of what quilts I want to get done:).
Ok, time for bed, need sleep, until the next blog
take care,
