MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

from my family to yours!

SORRY i am still here.....

Sorry for the silence, I am still on the planet. December has historically always been the busiest time for the OR at the hospital, and we were not given a break this December. Yes I have been working almost everyday!!!! I know ME working everyday! And I feel it, hurt my back last week moving a rather large girl, and all the bending, pulling, stretching, not to mention the running made for a rather routine December in the land of medicine.   Why oh why do people wait till December to get their elective surgery done? Hello their are 11 other months in the year!!!!!!

Christmas 2008

The FAM will all be together this year. So Christmas 2010 is packed with family, activities and lots of LOVE
Hope your week is peaceful and full of Love 
Remember the reason for the season
Jesus it is His Birthday

THE QUILTERS CHRISTMAS PARTY

Norma and Michelle

My quilt group has been together a Very long time,  I have been a member for 18 years.

Since I have been a member we have merged three off shoot groups. The groups original name was PIN HEADS. 

I am not sure what our name is now but no matter.

We still meet twice a month to see what each other has been sewing and share our life's with each other.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

SOO MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR IN MY LIFE!

ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY

Sew sorry for the 2 week week absence, I have been very busy with a wonderful trip to Houston and work, the job that pays for my hobbies.

I have 2, too, and only two flowers for the week.

These wonderful dogs { are they not cute} are causing havoc with my allergies. I'm spending allot of my spare time cleaning and vacuuming and dusting to rid my house of their shedding hair and dander. The doctor wants me to get rid of them, but that would be like getting rid of my children.

Not going to happen.

Will wonder through ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY blogs tomorrow. Have a great week!

I'M BACK

Sister Mary Margaret making her way back to the hotel.

Yes I am back, have been back from Houston for over a week........but that week was crazy. I worked all last week, yes the entire week at the hospital, exhausting. Hosted a rather large Pamper Chef party, { I am not a fan of these parties} but we did have fun. Since Ellen was cooking and she IS NOT a COOK I thought we would all need my grandmothers' whiskey sours. Yumm...  Yumm...... a good time had by all.

Houston was fantastic..... Am so glad I went. Mary Margaret and I spent 6-7 hours a day in the show and still we did not see everything. It was so overwhelming! The first day we just walked around not parting with our coins, but the second and third day we did make purchases though neither of us went crazy.  Our project for the hotel room was we made some beautiful jewelry. 

Here is Kaffe Fassett. This is one tall man.

A Princess quilt which had a ton of detail  and hours put in by this quilter.

But the neatest thing was her shoes!!

My favorite are still and always will be the American traditional quilts. These have women's' life stories stitched into them. The antique quilts were beautiful and I could almost hear their voices looking at them.

I could not photograph my favorite quilts due to their age , so I did not take many pictures in Houston.

I will post some pictures as I download them.

Good week to all.
