Leslie Heading to Turkey

This is our last week with Leslie until next Summer.
 She is going to Turkey for the school year! her Mom is now over there and would like leslie for the school year. its going to be hard letting my "little" girl go, she was 2 and a 1/2 when her dad and I started dating, and now she is going on 14 !
 Leslie has grown in to a wonderful teenager, could not ask for a better daughter and a great big sister !
I hope that she has a great time while she is away from us and is able to experience a lot of new things and seeing so may wonderful places. 

Not going to move!

Well this time we know for sure we are not going to Turkey!

Jan blocks are done!

Leslie and Emily Jan blocks are now finished! Now all I need to start working on is the 2 small "sister" blocks that go with the larger ones! we are half way finished with this block of the month the last one will be picked up Sept 10 the date we are to be in Turkey! the shop Bella Quilts has told me that I should be able to pick up the last one before we leave!

March and Feb. Sister's Block of the Month

Today I finished last months blocks, this Sat. I will pick up April's blocks. and maybe I might finish Jan. blocks they are cut out just need to finish them. while I was out finishing Emily's up I started to clean up and toss things in my sewing area! got rid of 3 bags of small scraps of fabric, soda cans, have 2 bags of fabric to donate found 2 quilt tops with backings that should go get quilted, one has been done for over 10+ years! the other has only been done about 3 years. I have 4 shelves left to go the sewing table plus 2 totes full of fabric. you don't realize how much stuff you have tell you get ready to move! I know we still have a few months tell we move or not move still not sure I hope that we find out soon I hate not knowing whats going on . Sept will be here before I know it. at least the past ports for the girls and myself have been sent in!

while making

Emily!

I am to ...

over baring & controlling in the Kitchen.

I had a hard time letting Emily

pour the batter .

so when Leslie wants to make

cookies,cakes or brownies I have to go to

the other room!

or else I will end up making them and she will go do

something else!
