We had a fire that came right down the hill behind our house, it was worse than it looks here, it just took awhile before anyone thought of taking pictures...we waited until it was almost out and then brought out the camera.
They brought out the helicopters...fun to watch once we knew our homes were safe!
My middle son was hired at a French Bistro and is training as a sous chef :)
My oldest son's girlfriend graduated high school. Yay Hannah!
We found another batch of feral kittens and managed to catch one and Tigger adopted him and nursed him until we found him a home.
I made some stuff.

The last 4 months of Brown Bag:
Oops I guess I didn't get a picture of the Easter one...too bad it was my favorite and it's packed away until next year. This was July's...
they were doing a week of Christmas in July at the Country Loft last week. I took this wool applique class from Jo Ann Wednesday night and I'm almost done :)
I made my first doll...also a class by Jo Ann....she's not quite finished, still needs her hat and shoes and all her cute accessories.
I made a few quilt tops... most of them still need borders :( This one is a Country Loft pattern by Kathy Cardiff:
These two were "accidents" I was trying for something totally different and after I'd cut and sewn all my half and quarter square triangles I realized I'd made half going the wrong direction (this is where patterns come in handy lol). Anyway I kept playing around on the design wall and finally came up with these two instead of the one I had at first envisioned (and cut and sewed without ever once pausing to get out pencil and paper to see if it would really work...it seemed so simple in my head lol)
This is using a Sweet Jelly Roll and Honey Bun:
I think this may be my favorite scrap quilt ever...it's a work in progress. I'm hoping to eventually have enough blocks to make a king size for my bed.
O.k. that's enough for now. I also got a new lap top a while back and I'm still not used to typing on the keyboard, it's a little off center and it makes me nuts!!!! I hope to make it around to everyone's blogs soon...I have missed you all!!!!
