Yaya and Papa Visit

Author: Miranda /


Yaya and Papa got in yesterday and the boys were sooo excited! They are on their way back to Iowa and taking a break to stop over and see the boys and ryan and I. It's so nice when they stop by..the boys almost don't know what to do with themselves. And I get to send my quilts back with mom to get the quilted which is very exciting.

JJ had to show yaya and papa his guinea pigs and how well he can hold Alvin, I have a picture i posted of him holding on to Alvin. He is doing so well with it. Samson is once again all upset because the girls have invaded his house again, it really is pathetic to watch him around them. He might get used to them one of these days, but i doubt it.


I am hoping to get the material i got for the stockings and my christmas quilt ironed and cut out this weekend, I won't get the stockings sewn together till my Warm and Natural comes in, I found some on ebay at a great price, I can't believe how difficult it is to find on a 45 in bolt around here. Looks like ebay will become my friend for that. Actually ebay has helped me with christmas quite a bit this year, some great deals on the things the boy want for christmas.
Oh and another giveaway I have found from a wonderfully creative crafter named Sandy over at http://fortheloveofprims.blogspot.com/ you can see a pic of what she is giving away on my side bar. You have till Nov 15th to sign up so hop on over and see all her creative works.

That's about it, i'll post pics of my projects if i get them started, wish me luck.


Happy crafting and quilting!

Election Day.... Did You Vote?

Author: Miranda /











Well yep, I did, spent almost two hours inline to take 2 min and vote, boys went with me and all.

On another note, JJ's bday party was last sunday and it was a success, he got lots of toys and had a good group of kids show up to play and have fun and eat cake. I have put a couple of pictures up showing the cake, presents and of course the eating of the cake...the best part.

I also have a picture of the fabric i just receieved for JJ's quilt, it is the first of about 5 pieces that i ordered for it, now to just decide how to make his rag quilt, how many blocks i'll need, etc. I think that, thanks to a suggestion from my mom, that i will work denim into the quilt for him so it will be denim and super heros.

Well the kids have school off today so i think we are going to work on some cleaning, maybe i'll work on the christmas stockings that i am going to make, and maybe we'll play some games...if i can find my deck of cards i am going to teach connor and JJ how to play Go Fish. We might also go to Bowling green to the fabric store and the pet store, i need some batting and we need to get some more bedding for the guinea pigs.

that's about it for now...till next time Happy Quilting
