"In Quilting Heaven"

Image
By

I have been a "bad blogger" because I've been frantically quilting since Wednesday. I finished my sister's placemats and matching napkins on Thursday, and as I was eagerly finishing the last few stitches, I suddenly felt a slight depression coming on ... and a slight panic ("What am I going to do when this project is finished?? Oh, no!"). So Ashley and I went out and bought all the fabric for her Hawaiian quilt she wants. And I did all the prep (won't bore you with the details), and cut the fabric yesterday (including making another trip to the fabric store for more fabric (oops!) and thread), and this morning I started piecing a bunch of fabrics together. And I'm in the "I'm-so-excited-I-don't-want-to-do-anything-until-I-finish" stage.
This is where I am now. I just need to make about 40 more "mini blocks", sew the mini blocks in groups of four, then sew the groups of four together. Piece of cake--not :) The fabrics are pink, light green, and bright yellow, but they don't come out so well in the photo. Sorry.

But life must go on. Family time, time for friends, etc., etc. So the quilting will wait until "kiddies" have gone to bed this evening (IF I still have a few ounces of energy!).

Hey Carm, don't ever feel guilty about not blogging, although I felt that way in the beginning too! Maybe all bloggers all go through that stage? Anyways, life happens!

I can't wait to see Ashley's Hawaiian quilt!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
