Sunday afternoon

What a weekend!!!!!! It went so fast! I was so involved with the grandchildren and the halloween festivals around our town. They enjoyed all the events. Momma did too, because when grandma brought them home, they took very long naps...............
I worked on bill's quilt and finished the hand stiching on the binding. It needs a little more ties and it is done and ready to be wrapped for christmas. I sewed the binding on the green quilt I am making for my girl friend for christmas. I am terrible sewing binding on. Even with the help of my sister long distance by phone, I still manage to screw it up. I took it apart twice. I was so upset, I had to walk away from it for awhile. Late last night I deceided to give it a try again. It will work, but still is not exactly great. I am not being that hard on myself, I really think it is bad. I have such a phobia about putting binding on and getting those corners just right. The binding is actually fine, it's the corners that I am upset about. Tonight I am just going to sit here and hand sew that binding and hopefully my blood pressure will come back to normal.
It is trick or treating here in town tonight, so I plan on doing alot of jumping up and down. Bill is home from hunting, however he is very tired and already in his recliner. So I can't rely on him for any help.
Well one thing that turned out great this weekend, while sewing I managed to cook Gina's Italian Sausage Soup. The smells from my kitchen are wonderful. Even bill noticed when he got home. I can hardly wait to try it.
