Good Morning Company Girls!

well, this is what's going on out my bedroom window this morning.......






and yesterday I saw the first Robin and the day before it was 16 degrees celcius (about 62 farenheit)....good grief...it really should make up its' mind! I didn't mean to post the same pic twice...but now I don't know how to delete the extra...sorry...

It's been a busy week....quilt class, book club, ladies luncheon, dealing with my kids and their ever present difficulties resulting from their delays...I really think it's getting worse....eeeek!......today, I hav to drive one of them about 35 kilometers away, drop her off at an appointment, then hurry myself to a dental appointment..(pray that my van doesn't get the window smashed in again), then go to a mall, where I am meeting my sister and where I'm supposed to experience my very first pedicure....when sister announced it at our luncheon yesterday, all the ladies exclaimed just how much I was going to enjoy it...sister said I had to wear sandals so I didn't wreck the nail polish...ummmm....you want to look at this pics above...don't think it's going to happen...think I'll just have to try and make sure the polish is good and dry before I put my shoes and socks on....

this week I read a book..not the one I was suppose to have done for book club....the store backordered it and I didn't get it in time...this one was a fiction quilting book called Sonoma Rose......I enjoyed it....

Last Saturday we went out to help at eldest daughter's new house.....'the men' were drywalling a room and so I helped with cleaning and unpacking..came home exhausted but pleased that the kids enjoyed the things I made for their rooms....

a wall hanging for the girl's room...








and since i didn't think my grandson would appreciate something like that...i quilted a small pillow for his bed...

front...



and a colorful back...




now, it's time to get back to other quilting projects....I started a quilt top before Christmas but abandoned it to do the kids projects so I really need to reacquaint myself with it...then...i picked up some flannel the other day after watching a self binding receiving blanket tutorial on Missouri Star quilt....looks kind of neat and I have a baby shower to go to in a week....wouldn't mind getting a couple of those done.....

yes, trying to avoid the obvious....this week is the start of spring or March break in our area.....Ben and Megan will be home...all day, every day....good grief....

and this Sunday we've got family coming for Ben's 21st birthday! Where has the time gone....he's also been bring home stuff pertaining to his graduation in June....(delayed kids can stay in school til they're 21 in our area).......now, we'll have to look at finding him a job!

So, that's about it for me....hope you all have a wonderful weekend.....and if you're going away somewhere sunny and warm for March break...I really don't want to hear about it... :0) Take Care!

If you're going to the mall for the pedicure maybe you bring flip flops just to wear afterwards, and when everything's all dry, you can switch back. I couldn't even wear flip flops today and it's actually sunny out. We're in spring-like weather over here, but I'm a little afraid of what spring will actually look like since we got rain until June last year.

I love the wall hanging, how pretty! I hope you enjoyed your pedicure, I had one once and it was fun! I'm not going anywhere for the break, so I've no warm stories to tell...juast hoping for some relaxing fun and some organizing of cupboards! Hope your week is wonderful!
Blessings!
