well at project day yesterday, (well for the last 3 weeks or so) metal chips were falling on the top of the fabric when i sewed! so I finely took it in. I have and would like to do so much sewing but I guess I cant now so what will I do?
don't know maybe hang up pitchers in the house or bring in books,sheets and all else that need to be brought in from the garage. well its to hot but maybe!
cut out more things to sew when i get my sewing machine back< class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">likely oh an while at project day some of the Lady's bring in fabric and other things that are no needed at their houses, so I picked up a bunch of baby flannel! so excited. going to make some bibs and baby blankets! well off to do all the other things around the house now! have a good day.

quilts

for some reason I am not able to upload Photos I have to do it in video form! sorry, I am hoping that when brad gets home, or when I get my laptop what ever come first! i will be able to do pic again.

the first 3 are of Emily at her swimming lessons, then the rest of are the quits that are just waiting for the binding and 2 for quilting and binding. sorry about quality of the photos it was too bright for pic taking. so we kinda went in to the shade of the yard. then just moved in to the house. so the red white and blue one is a picnic quilt.so is the one next to it. the yellow/orange color is called school bus yellow! and that was done in the 40 prints and the backing i used for it did not get a pic of it was from Grandma Thatchers stash. the Sunflower one is what I picked out about 2 years ago now for my birthday from brad. the quilt shop that i got that at douse a % off for how old you are turning so this year I will be getting 35% off! then the last is a king size and Brad and the girls went to Joann's and got that for me. (or was that before I had Emily or right after i had her, well its been a long time!) it was done shortly after I got it but just took my time finding a backing and then I quilted it myself . once i get more done i will put them up also.

the month of June

This summer is going by so fast! In about 2 and a half weeks Leslie will be home! Actually, only for a bit, she will be here with her mom until the 13 then she and her mom will fly to Oregon to see Leslie great grandma and will be home on the 23. For good!

Emily has been taking swimming lessons at a pool off-base. It is nice, but being an outdoor pool, Em does not like the cold water at all ! The great thing is, there are only 2 other kids in the class with Em. The class has finished the level one and I am hopeing that they can start the level 2 on Friday. They have 4 classes left. Then on the 22nd, the second session of swimming starts so she will do that also!

As for me, I have finished 2 picnic quilts, 1 doll quilt, 3 pillows for the dolls (I'm going to make pillow cases for them), another grocery bag(using a different pattern, I have another pattern to try out too), 2 church bags, and going to start on a table runner, oh and I have about 3 baby quilts that have been started, 2 more full size quilts that have been cut and waiting to be done, oh there is another quilt that i have started a while ago that is almost done just need to do the hand applique and then putting all the squares together! oh and I have two quilts that need to be binded before Brad gets home. ( he thinks that they are done ... unless he reads this, then he'll know that they're not!)

I have also been reading about 3 to 4 books at a time, and I think that I will start reading Harry Potter book 6 again before the movie comes out in July! I would also like to get all the Twilight books. I left the first one at Mom and Dads last Nov. when we were there. I am not sure where the second one went too and the 3 and 4 books I borrowed them from a friend.

Then tomorrow after swimming we have our ward dinner. On Saturday I won tickets to a comedy club. Next Thursday we're having the sister missionary's over for dinner, then Friday I am having a pampered chef party! Saturday the 20 Em and I are going to Breakers water park with the other Deployed family's. that should be lots of fun! Busy, Busy!

On news of the house, it's coming along, its just about done. The place where the cars should go is just about finished. I have two boxes left. I would love to just toss all the little thing on the ground that I am not sure what to do with, but I still need to make sure I don't need anything.

Brad is doing well, he is so ready to come home, and the girls want there dad home too. He should be home in the middle of August. I am hopping that he gets in before the 23 because I am going to Depeche Mode on the 23! and I would like brad to come with me!

So that is all for now!
