Odds and ends.....

I've had a very busy 2 weeks and virtually haven't had time to even look at the sewing machine or fabric or anything quilty. I am chomping at the bit to get things back to normal (what exactly is that, anyway) and get some stitching done.

By way of getting everyone up to speed, Little Libby had her surgery and is doing remarkably well. She is allowed to stand for a little while, but after her 1st recheck on Wednesday, she'll probably be going like crazy. Here's a pic I borrowed from her mommy's blog....

Her parents told her that her casts were "special pink princess pants" that were going to help her walk better. I thought that was a good idea! She is really proud of her princess pants and keeps showing them to us. What a kid.

Last weekend, Rick and I went camping at Summersville Lake with my sister and brother-in-law. Aubree and Mia joined us and we all had a blast. Here's a couple of pics....




Aubree just waiting to be big enough to sleep on the top bunk










Mia just being her usual sweet self. She's content to read a book to herself. She was her Pappy's shadow all weekend.





It was a wonderful time and gave Chris and Nan a break. Nancy had to work, but they went out to dinner a couple of nights and they enjoyed that.

I got out the backing fabrics for the three quilts that are ready and this afternoon I am going to start sewing them together. I am determined to get out of this slump and start doing what I enjoy most.....stitching!! I picked out the fabric for the first Birthday Block swap and have that on Monday's schedule! :) We'll see how scheduling works out for me. (I don't hold out much hope, but am thinking positively.

Oh yeah, during this time Uncle Bill had a heart attack (he's ok and back at the nursing home), Rick & I had the stomach flu, and various and sundry other little surprises we had to deal with. Ahhhhh, the joys of life.

Blessings,
Becky
