My Son isn't a Baby any Longer

I cannot believe my son is 19 and his Senior Prom is over and the 9th of June is around the corner. On that day my son Cameron will graduate from high school and begin a new chapter in his life... I thought I would share prom pics from last weekend...

Nature At It's Best

The season is spring, love is in the air and flowers are in bloom. As I went out yesterday to start my grill I noticed my little friend in the back yard. We call her Eleanor. But when we see her or him I yell out "Hey Bunny Fru Fru" I didn't notice any thing in the area that this cute little bundle of happiness comes to visit in the way of food so I went to the refrigerator and broke out the sacrificial bag of carrots we buy for the bunnies that come visit me daily...

I thought it only right to feed them since they have never done damage to my garden or tore anything up in my yard and they are very diligent in eating the dandelions... Such good bunnies...

Here are some photos of the bunny I named Eleanor. I do hope you think she is as cute as I do...

She is posing like any starlet would...

Eleanor seems to be enjoying her treat of a carrot...

And how cute she is to use her little hands to hold the carrot...

My Great Kid

Hello Blogger's today is my son's 19th Birthday. I hardly can believe he is 19 yrs old... It seems like yesterday that he was born. Although I am glad I am not giving birth to him all over... Good Lord I would have to be totally knocked out after 4 days of labor the first time, it so was totally worth it... Just think my kiddo was such a cute kid...

He really does cook quite well... Here he is making his yearly batch of fresh pumpkin seeds... Yummo!!!

Not sure how long ago this was but trust me when I say he now has a beard that is shaved and he also keeps his mustache nice and neat... He has definitely grown up to be a wonderful guy...

Boy O'Boy Wait til You See This

Well everyone I have been in turmoil trying to make sure my quilt/sewing studio the best it can be... I have been hunting for over a year for front facing handles for my quilt machine that sits on my Handi Quilt Frame. Currently I have rear handles and it makes quilting my projects incredibly difficult... Well after some 30 different websites and countless hours of searching I found the handles and pedestal and they will be here in about five days... Now all I need is a stitch regulator so that I can continue to create my passions in life...

Here is a picture of what will be coming in the mail... I can hardly wait for UPS to arrive... I do love my men in brown...

I Just so had to Share

I must admit my husband was very much trying to save money and reuse something he had gotten from a job site, as he usually does... I such a Duggar... I love to either get free or buy used and save the difference... So when he dug out this old toilet from the shed, I looked at it and said to him do you think honestly I would allow this rusty old thing in my house... I can not think so... His exact words "Honey I promise (you know what happens when hubbys say this) This will be fine.... So as he was trying to clean this and make it look acceptable for me, almost two hours later, he opened the lid and noticed a huge crack on the bowl. All I have to say is yeah a new toilet that is a luxury high rise...no more trying to get my poor aching body off this stupid thing that feels like it is on the floor... So with that said I decided to be a good person and recycle, as I think we should try to reuse items and not to damage the earth... I chose to take the toilet from my bathroom, and use it in a very positive way... A twitter friend of mine has told me I should use it a the next back drop for my next quilt... Please share your thoughts...

MQX in Providence Rhode Island

Yesterday I had a wonderful chance to go to MQX in RI. I went with a few ladies from my guild... We looked at everything...
All I can say is next year I think I will bring a rolling cart so I can put the things I buy in it and won't feel like my arms are going to fall off...  here are some pics...

The Girls at MQX RI



One of my favorite booths the Christmas Shoppe had so much stuff

 This both has tons that I wanted to buy, I wish I had a ton of money so I could buy everything...I think if I go next year I will have to start saving up for what I want to buy...

 This Candy Corn wall hanging is so me... Will have to find this on line...

 I love when quilters express their Red & White creations. They are so adorable....

 I just love playful stuff. I makes me feel like a kid again...

 This quilt won first prize for "Best in Show" just an exquisite piece of work...

And what would the Expo be with out those toys we all love... I tried the Tin Lizzie long arm quilt machine... OMG!!! I so need this machine... One of these days I told my husband, we will have to figure a way to get this. I think I would be one happy girl, but then again who wouldn't...

I used it like a pro...
