At Home on this Mountain

I'm still here


We're just having a busy time right now. 

We went to the zoo today with my sister and her girls, Mom, my brother and his girlfriend.  MJ's 3rd birthday is Monday and I haven't finished her gifts yet (although I am getting close!)  I'll be finishing those tomorrow.  Nearly everyone is coming up for the birthday and we have a Scout activity as well.

Tomorrow is church.  We're so excited for Sunday mornings lately- it's a wonderful feeling!  I am actually worried when someone sneezes on Saturday- please don't get sick!! 

We have big doings on Thursday with the visiting relatives.  Then I think things will settle back down.  The pantry will have to wait until then.  I know you're all on pins and needles but you'll just have to wait.  So calm down. 
Did I mention we have 50 half grown chickens?  They've been moved out to the chicken coop as of this evening.  They were driving us out of the house while they lived in the playroom.  Breathing is much more pleasant now.

I have some goodies from a massive bout of yard saling on Friday.  I was gone from 9 am until 5pm :|  I got some fun and some pretty and some useful things.  Hopefully I'll be able to share photos soon.

Good night!!

Hello my friend, I am so glad we got to do a little bit of yard saleing Friday. :) It was great fun. I went back for a little while on Saturday and got a few more little things. I hope you guys had a great time at the zoo... I am sure I will talk to you a little later. Love to you!

Friday, June 27, 2008 - Sewing


Posted by Cheryl Treadway
I saw your picture of the disappearing 9 patch. I have seen this quilt done several times , usually with the 5 squares done in dark and the 4 alternating squares done in a light or the other way around. It makes a nice contrast. I just made an activity book for my oldest grandson's birthday(Amanda's son). It was a lot of work but it turned out great, I think the website for the pattern is www.sewbaby.com. They also have an alphabet book I might attempt, but first I have to make another activity book for my other grandson.(Andrew's son). I am always looking for more gift ideas, I try and make all my gifts. I can truly understand your description of your sewing room:). The is the first time I have every read or posted to a blog.

God Bless,
Cheryl
