Ive been a little busy and self absorbed I guess. we had our vacation and our room is gorgeous now. i feel like a grown up (finally at almost 50 yrs old) we have actual matching dressers and an organized closet. no more dumping grounds for our room. gonna have a nice relaxing beautiful bedroom to retreat to when needed. love the wood floor until lucy (our little dog) gets excited and wants out in the middle of the night. all I hear is click click clickity click till i get out of bed and let her out... crazy.<br /><br />also, attended a quilt retreat in temecula and have some pics to share, but they are on my blackberry and somehow I've forgotten how to upload from there again, so they are on facebook instead.<br /><br />got two swaps out in the mail...one for the doll quilt swap and one for " a piece fo work" where one member sends fabric to everyone and what kind of block they want.<br /><br />AND i had surgery yesterday to remove 1/2 my thyroid and a nodule since the needle biopsy came back with "bad cells" now they will do a full biopsy, but I won't know how results until at least next week. so you should see me more in the next two weeks since I will be home for a change...<br /><br />thinking happy thoughts and looking forward to getting lots of sewing done and enjoying my time off as much as i can. will post pictures tomorrow hopefullygrammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-60799704878801594272009-07-29T20:01:00.000-07:002009-07-29T20:05:44.513-07:00swapswoo hoo, got one button working. I joined 2 swaps. A piece of work - someone in the group sends you fabric and what type of block they would like and the size. this time it's a wonky log cabin 12 1/2 square. i can add whatever fabric i want except vintage (which i don't have - works for me) and black. no problem. this is for August, and on flickr several people have already finished. gotta get this one done before saturday or on sat night.<br /><br />the other one is doll quilt swap 7, i've been drooling over these swaps for a while and finally got a chance to join. my partner likes the same colors/style that I do so it shouldn't be too crazy hard to make something she will like. i think I will like working on smaller quilts, so I can get something done from start to finish.<br /><br />pictures coming soon!<br />and hopefully the DQS7 button. it's good to belong :)grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-75003899695688834282009-07-22T21:30:00.000-07:002009-07-22T21:30:41.352-07:00dinner with the girls frantones<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI55KHrSCYVT0CTRdf9s2b-OqJTc4QVwrl7uZdY2jHNmpIjbB61FLAK9vEqlJClbwRvH_a-aWPrsgf-VatrsX85rdvOhBJAwTy9harR2g34URJuOdOaWGrdty4pv-EUff04QbC4YbNM9Y/s1600-h/dinner+at+frantones+july+22+2009.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: both;

I had some left over charm squares and had an idea for using them up. next post will show them with 2 ideas for how to set the squares. My son didn't like my first set up, so he suggested another. he has a good eye. I'll show you both and see which one people like the most. maybe even give a prize if I get a lot of votes... hmmm how to do that? I do have some bags, and an apron that I could give away.<br /><br />i've been cleaning/organizing again... I REALLY need to give some fabric away. I think I will start with some scraps left from quilts and other projects I've made. there's some really cool (in my opinion, of course) fabric that someone else might love too.<br /><br />so I better get to blogging more often instead of just reading and commenting on other blogs :)grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-62905659545245695382009-06-21T08:34:00.001-07:002009-06-21T08:42:06.439-07:00father's day photos<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj653zrjckTm9cpAOFxMNCErxfK3xdR-NreFVTXYK9_j5DWjyDAab3SKMwYWozUb51YZfw8GWRGKrCvZSZ7IivyZIqyhbyDhEe7kY_y6HP9XI9ElGfBCsbJMmIwMxnE5-rXoxR7TGz_LA8/s1600-h/PD_0009.JPG">my dad</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj653zrjckTm9cpAOFxMNCErxfK3xdR-NreFVTXYK9_j5DWjyDAab3SKMwYWozUb51YZfw8GWRGKrCvZSZ7IivyZIqyhbyDhEe7kY_y6HP9XI9ElGfBCsbJMmIwMxnE5-rXoxR7TGz_LA8/s1600-h/PD_0009.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj653zrjckTm9cpAOFxMNCErxfK3xdR-NreFVTXYK9_j5DWjyDAab3SKMwYWozUb51YZfw8GWRGKrCvZSZ7IivyZIqyhbyDhEe7kY_y6HP9XI9ElGfBCsbJMmIwMxnE5-rXoxR7TGz_LA8/s320/PD_0009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349805683463520322" border="0" /></a>my husband and oldest son many years ago<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWvtmxy6BR7yT-YR_1nB5VEPml-YO3hWAWc5wUCroU3w2iak6WwEZ2fwU9Pod1vcriwGoeHxb1OXWM4sZIH8Oon3WI8Ws4YbbsaK91YNDe0OadY1TByr_SNCy1TaKHgaWy0QDy7X4MO0/s1600-h/steveandkai.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 193px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggWvtmxy6BR7yT-YR_1nB5VEPml-YO3hWAWc5wUCroU3w2iak6WwEZ2fwU9Pod1vcriwGoeHxb1OXWM4sZIH8Oon3WI8Ws4YbbsaK91YNDe0OadY1TByr_SNCy1TaKHgaWy0QDy7X4MO0/s320/steveandkai.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349805395908901186" border="0" /></a>my mom and dad - such a sweet picture<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn4RPYMGMTGZ4LfJbfTkCq06GiH02GhLVMb4u6xSgTW2jn80FCFL5hGrvlljhhtNmK3sSEKwYpmOVojfTbj7cpEDipG31Ho6yLyrcoOJ_PXbQqbvty3hhS8SWGlFm9UYTKqhWQ5EOfzCA/s1600-h/IMG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn4RPYMGMTGZ4LfJbfTkCq06GiH02GhLVMb4u6xSgTW2jn80FCFL5hGrvlljhhtNmK3sSEKwYpmOVojfTbj7cpEDipG31Ho6yLyrcoOJ_PXbQqbvty3hhS8SWGlFm9UYTKqhWQ5EOfzCA/s320/IMG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349805388184585826" border="0" /></a>grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-82024900625384413212009-06-21T08:34:00.000-07:002009-06-21T08:34:24.956-07:00happy fathers day! me and my dad in 1960<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZxhTdbds7JxBd0itNt57MF3LvNDXhAV1Sg8qevd17053_j72ACjtNl5PRiojn2diSDcB7IIm1vzIk4-SSar_N1zwgPCNlkimbKXnpg2Q4oaSh-I8GAZzO083VcddfOOcP0MDcp_eumU/s1600-h/PD_0004.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZxhTdbds7JxBd0itNt57MF3LvNDXhAV1Sg8qevd17053_j72ACjtNl5PRiojn2diSDcB7IIm1vzIk4-SSar_N1zwgPCNlkimbKXnpg2Q4oaSh-I8GAZzO083VcddfOOcP0MDcp_eumU/s320/PD_0004.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-9709434209091256452009-06-18T21:17:00.000-07:002009-06-18T21:37:37.308-07:00nancy drew and a quilthere's what I made for Molly on the nancy drew swap.

Nancy of course needs a bag to hold all her clues and supplies, a pen, and a notebook. and of course a zippered bag for to keep small things from getting away.

Molly sent me this package for the Nancy Drew swap, she was so creative on this. there was a word search for smart detectives like Nancy drew, a magnifying glass , change purse for phone calls (no cell phones!) little book for notes, some nancy drew postcards, pen for taking notes, bookmark tagb with a supply list , a boat and map, whew and if that was not enough some bling for me! cute earrings and a necklace. <br />very cool. unlike me, she mailed this package on the day it was supposed to be mailed! I hope she likes her package as much as I love mine. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcsbj9tuPDapxBl7Xf89juIufFzoQeIloRCg3-45uC8AJHoaMfeZR3Pvowo-3P6kV1fy_4ydFhyOdlaYP2uVx5I6qkCqOLI01oYcL3k0MNME74eg-9BxPVNP79LyUEjmHfX2dQeWJ6o64/s1600-h/2009_0614snowquilt0016.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcsbj9tuPDapxBl7Xf89juIufFzoQeIloRCg3-45uC8AJHoaMfeZR3Pvowo-3P6kV1fy_4ydFhyOdlaYP2uVx5I6qkCqOLI01oYcL3k0MNME74eg-9BxPVNP79LyUEjmHfX2dQeWJ6o64/s320/2009_0614snowquilt0016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348149984749993106" border="0" /></a>grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-47997648535241977262009-06-14T10:57:00.001-07:002009-06-14T11:05:11.823-07:00hmmmm....too bright for the swap?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qvYe0UPNzqyOFu1Dbp08c48MRIIdkQdJhmvAXE149zdkHCtMCkWXw0gX0-MngtQTuONtURDIrUZMEviYW9wx7pTRpvJCqt5RmmoSmoZrZHterUhy5U3WqDxoLkeYQfHtxLE9caplfRo/s1600-h/2009_0614snowquilt0014.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qvYe0UPNzqyOFu1Dbp08c48MRIIdkQdJhmvAXE149zdkHCtMCkWXw0gX0-MngtQTuONtURDIrUZMEviYW9wx7pTRpvJCqt5RmmoSmoZrZHterUhy5U3WqDxoLkeYQfHtxLE9caplfRo/s320/2009_0614snowquilt0014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347244675936693602" border="0" />what do you think? it may be for the swap over at Auntpittypats the disappearing 9 patch.</a>grammatrishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632654816105990081noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157641534643422859.post-44775311630901019832009-06-03T22:29:00.000-07:002009-06-03T22:52:00.529-07:00sewing....and a sneak peekwhew a lot to catch up on.
