Good morning happy St. Patrick's Day Sunday!

Yesterday I put a bunch of fabric on the FB group but it was mostly crickets. That's a bit disappointing. At least I sorted it out and got it in a box for now. I went through 4 or so boxes of patterns and did a listing with those and nothing there either. Everyone must have been outside since it was a nice day haha. I did condense down a whole box of them though so that was good.

These two will apparently never be friends lol. They fight over a cardboard box on the desk that they both like to sleep in. No smacks today (yet) lol. 


After doing a bunch of organizing yesterday I picked out my next quilt fabrics. I got them all cut and pinned for the first round of sewing. Lots of pink. My favorite haha.


My little buddy went and saw his first theater movie with his mom and dad! Jess said he did pretty good and better than some other kids there so that is good. 


Last night's dinner. I actually got it done before Trevor went to work. Guess I should figure out what we are having tonight. Scott & Trevor went to the store yesterday and filled the fridge back up for a couple days.


I've watched a bunch of movies on Peacock the last few days.

This one was pretty good. The girl with the long hair on the left is from Mad Men. 


She was in this one too although just a smaller part. 
This one was really good.

Cried at the juke box scene on this one


Dumb don't waste your time

Does anyone else think it's kind of weird when people make multiple movies together? Jennifer is so beautiful in this movie though! Definitely didn't see the ending coming on this one.


I totally enjoyed this one!


I think my neighbor breaks out his riding lawn mower every day. He's got this big pile of wood going in the field next to his house and he's mowing around it right now. Seems like such an odd place to dump wood too. 

Ok off to dig out some fabric someone asked about (yeah!) and then probably get started on sewing these quilt pieces together.

Hello happy Saturday!

Here's my lovely dinner from last night. I forgot to put the roast in the crock pot so I cooked it in the oven instead. Ended up cooking it a bit too long but it was still good.

That reminds me to go pull something out for tonight. The boys went to town and are going to go to the store. I wonder what they will come back with lol. Earlier Trevor was like you should go to the store and I was like why don't you go to the store? Three adults here why does it have to be me lol.


Yesterday I sorted out some fabrics that are hanging around me and this morning I listed them on the FB group. So far only one person claimed one thing. So weird how it's a hit or miss time for posting on there. Put them in a box for now. I'll relist them later if nothing sells. 


Trying to decide what I want to work on today. I think I might go through my pattern boxes again to condense them.  Maybe sewing later! I didn't buy tickets to the St Patty's dinner tonight since no one really to go with. Scott and Trevor said they didn't want the food lol. Scott has also started doing Lose It again. Maybe I'll join him at some point ;)

Oh and someone claimed the train quilt to buy. The same lady who got the ballerina one. She's collecting them to give as Christmas presents for her great grandkids I think.

Good morning happy FriYeah!!

Almost forgot to take a picture of my dinner last night. We ate at like 9pm lol. Steak and horseradish sandwich from Hello Fresh. This one was pretty good.


Finished the train quilt last night and got it out of the dryer this morning. I like it!


Never quite sure exactly what it will look like until it's all done. 


The plaid worked pretty good for the back. Small enough that I didn't have to match it up.


I started undoing the squares I had left over from previous quilts before I had a system of making sure I had 6 of the same fabrics. I'll rework them for something else (probably lol)


Guess I should get busy with work since I have a ton to do. Being a slacker today!

Good morning happy Thursday!

Yesterday I ended up being pretty busy with work for most of the work day so that was nice. Better to be busy than bored.

I got my train squares sewn together in their 4 groups and managed to scrape out enough batting for them all. Got the back fabric cut (decided not to go with the train tracks too hard to match up) and everything pinned together. 


Trevor made us his spam stack things for lunch. I should have only ate 2 they are very filling


Another Hello Fresh meal for dinner. Kind of like a taco bowl thing. Added the salad for some veggies. I guess they think adding tomatoes makes a vegetable to their meal. It came with the chips though! lol


Today is more spreadsheet work checking apps to make sure they have all their info (snore). Yesterday I did a bunch of fabric shopping on Whatnot, bad me! Got quite a few pieces that are 4 yards super cheap though which will make great quilt backs. AND I can always sell it if I don't use it lol. 

Trevor was up early this morning and out the door to go take his written motorcycle test to get his license. He already did the driving part in the class he took. Darn kids growing up and doing things without my consent. ;)

Good morning happy Hump Day!
I'm ready for the weekend already haha. Or at least non work hours. 

Got my first train quilt all cut up and ready for the first round on the sewing machine. 


I cut up everything that was left into squares/strips for a future project. I rearranged my cabinet with my theme fabrics a bit since I've been making a little dent in it. The cabinet is still full though.

Hello Fresh meal from last night plus asparagus I added to it. I think the portions on these are getting smaller. The pork chop was so tiny. 


Darts was fun, I won 2 games. My friends Carol and Bev were on the team we played. This guy on their team got 2 hat tricks! That's when you get all 3 darts in the bullseye in one round. 


Snacks!


I came home and went to bed lol. This time change sucks.
Here's our little Nate, so cute!


Today's plans are to work (kind of), sew, and have another Hello Fresh meal for dinner so don't have to think about that too much.

It is a little windy but I guess we are supposed to get really windy today. More shingles to blow off our roof probably. Scott keeps saying we'll have to do that soon. That's a no fun thing to spend money on.  I will be glad to put a little bit darker roof on our house though. We went with white before (I was pregnant with Trevor for time line lol) and I don't like it. 

Speaking of Trevor he came home with a motorcycle yesterday. Gotta give me a heart attack one way or another.

Good morning happy Tuesday!

This time change is so hard the first week. I'm like ok I'm getting up early. Then snooze snooze snooze ok not getting up early at all lol.

Here is my sea turtle quilt! The gal I sent the pics to still hasn't seen them. Hopefully she logs into the FB soon lol. I just love the colors.




Next up, trains! Not even sure where all these train fabrics came from but time to use them up. Might be 2 different quilts since some are more kids and some more adults. Also was thinking I might mix the primary color ones with some other car/truck fabrics that are the same colors. I'm still working on cutting them all. I've been cutting everything down to different size squares and 1 1/2" and 1" strips to use for another project later. 


I went to town to get something to take to Bunco after work yesterday. On the way a cop pulled over a semi in front of me. There was also a train stopping the traffic. I was like 12 cars back. The semi and the cop were 1/2 way off the road. The train was almost done and everyone was moving up in front of the semi so I started to go around and the cop SCREAMED at me and made me go back behind him. What a crazy person he was. I was like why are you yelling? Apparently I should have known they were going to move up and turn after the track and the light or something. What I was doing was legal so he was just a psycho. Scary that he's on the streets with a gun. Definitely unhinged.

Anyhow, got to the store and couldn't find anything party like pre made. They must have sold it all over the weekend so I just got cookies. I was a little frazzled too and running out of time (thanks train).

No one made anything substantial for our bunco meal so here's my snack dinner lol. I didn't win or lose so just made my donation of $5 to the winners. My mom didn't go because she's having surgery next week and trying to not get any new germs.


I came home and laid on my bed since it was already 9pm and I was tired. 

It's sprinkling this morning and Simon is not impressed. She finally gave up and is napping. Poor baby just wants to be outside. 

Darts tonight. All the fun in the beginning of the week.

Good morning happy Monday! 


Getting up an hour earlier and logging onto work sucks. Not as bad as having to go into the office though. That's tomorrow. Yuck.

Scott is home today. He is going to start taking every other Monday off to have a life besides driving to and from work for 4 hours each day. So far it sounds like he's listening to some kind of piano music thing on his phone 😆

Yesterday I finished up the sea turtle quilt. I got that one done fast! It's out in the dryer still and I am not motivated enough to go out and get it and take pictures yet. So here is a picture of it before it went into the washer haha.


After I got that done I vacuumed and cleaned up the last week's worth of Trevor & Scott bachelor pad mess in the living room and the kids came over for a few hours. Daniel's face is changing from a little one to a bigger boy now. 


Rosie's little pants were so cute.


They were here about 4 hours. Rosie fell asleep for the last bit. The kids got us McDonald's on the way back from town so we had that for dinner. We need to cook the last Hello Fresh meal from last week today. It's burgers so maybe for lunch if nothing else. I have Bunco tonight so I won't be eating dinner at home. I need to get something to take to that too. Maybe if Scott goes to town later he can pick something up for me.

Good morning happy Sunday! 
I woke up thinking wow I really slept in! Then I remembered the time change. Tomorrow morning is going to suck. I am so not a morning person.

Yesterday I worked on the sea turtle quilt all day. It is all ready to lay out and then sew the blocks together. I can't wait to see what it looks like laid out. I love all the colors.


I did take a dinner break. Scott and I went to Sizzler after Trevor went to work. We both got the salad bar. I had to laugh while we were there. There was an older couple and they were both reading a book. Ahh the days before cell phones when people still knew how to be together but not haha.

I mostly had salad, a little cup of clam chowder, then made nachos until the meat kind of grossed me out and 2 chicken wings. Had to have some ice cream for dessert too of course ;)

I sold the ballerina quilt 2 hours after I posted it on FB yesterday to the neighbor who lives on the corner. That was fun! 

Today I will probably stay home all day unless I decide to go to the meeting down at the club house but at the moment I don't think I will go. 

Scott and Trevor got the grass mowed down yesterday but of course there was no bagging it while mowing so there is grass everywhere. They unhooked Simon's cable so I ended up wrapping it around the tree like 20 times so she could play outside for a bit until Trevor gets up and fixes it up again.  It's way too nice to make her stay inside.

Already thinking of what my next quilt will be. Someone said I should do sunflowers but I'm not sure how much sunflower fabric I have.

Ok off to finish my morning routine and then get to sewing!

Good morning happy Saturday! 
I got my ballerina rag quilt out of the dryer this morning. She's nice and bright!
All tape roller-ed and in a storage bag. 




Last night I cut out the little bit of sea turtle fabrics I have and tried to come up with prints to go with it. I think I will swap out one color that I cut that doesn't blend as well. 


So once I get those figured out I can start sewing them together. 

Scott is out mowing already TG! I'm sure he'll be in taking a break after like 15 minutes lol. At least he's starting in the front yard. That's my biggest pet peeve when he mows he usually starts somewhere else and then gets too tired to do the front. 

I need to put myself in the shower before I do any project stuff. I'm one day past my expiration date haha.

Good morning happy FriYEAH!!
I don't have any pictures from yesterday so here is Tina sleeping on my quilt that I thought I was going to finish last night.

When I got home my mom was here so we just ended up hanging out chatting. It was after 8 when she left so I had 1/2 a pb&j sandwich and went to bed lol. 


At about 12:30 in the morning Tubz threw the 13x9 glass pan I got from Scott's mom's on the floor and woke everyone up. RIP jello pan. A bread pan also got killed in the incident.

I have a ton of work FINALLY for work. Woohooo so exciting haha. I love big busy projects so much better than sitting around doing nothing. I'm just about to get started going through all the might be funded next week apps to see what they need and get their letters started.

After work I will hopefully get the ballerina quilt put together. Then I need to relist the fabric I have left from the fabric buy a little cheaper and try to get that all off the table. I think whatever doesn't sell this time I will wash and then I can sell it with other fabric just as washed. I still need to finish ironing and putting away the fabric that I was keeping/has flaws that I washed last week. This week has been pretty busy!

Hopefully the lawn mower parts Scott ordered come today so we can get some mowing done. We're into the "our yard is embarrassing" point now. Sheesh.
