Too Busy or Forgetfullness??????

Have I been that busy that it has been ages since I blogged.
Well yes, I have some projects done.
Have I forgoten to take time out of my busy schedule to blog?
Well yes, there is that too.

The benefit for my nephew's daughter went well and we raised alot of money for the medical bills. She has since had her open heart surgery. Olivia is still in the ICU unit at Children's Hospital and all prayers are welcome.

My to do list has expanded again, (like that is a surprise!) The grandchildren are asking for more pj bottoms, and even picked out the material from grandma's stash.
And I fell in love with a 4th of July table runner on the internet and just had to purchase it to make.
I have gotten some projects farther along or finished since I blogged last, pictures will follow soon (if I don't forget)

And now, my DH and I are getting ready for our vacation. We leave tomorrow moring for 8 days of camping and relaxing. This trip usually includes a trip to the casino so I can lose some money, and also a trip to the local crafts/quilt shops..........(which means more money spendt, LOL)
This past week has been filled with grocery shopping, packing, and laundry. Oh yes and I have still managed to get to the gym twice this week.
No sewing done :(

More to report when I get home.............

Peacefully Quiet Sunday morning

Sunday morning, and I am sitting here with a cup of coffee just surfing the web.
How quiet, how peaceful, and no place to go. I am not running around this weekend, and I even manage to sleep in late.

I did get that scrap quilt finally finished tied and binding on. Put the label on it last nite so it is officially done. I have the backings ready for the baby einstein quilt and the wild life quilt. Just need to get some assistance in sandwiching them.

I worked on cleaning and organizing the sewing room. That is an ongoing battle. It will get messed up again before long or I will change my mind on the container system I have, or the room I am storing my stash in. Currently they are in two rooms (not enough room in the sewing room)and are threatening to spill out more. I have to stop buying material and kits.

The plans for today are trying to finish the Buggy Barn squares. Another one of my projects that has been sitting around too long. We will see how much progress I make on them today.
The problem might be my DH, who is not feeling well. You know how those men get when they are feeling ill, and mine is no different. Always needing assistance with something.
