Trying Something New

Image
Today was the last day of an eight week volleyball camp. Aubree attended each week for an hour long class. They were the "Tween Titans". She had a great time and made some new friends. Her coach was awesome and we look forward to working with her in the future. We may have found a new sport for Aubree. Today for their final class they showed off all the new skills they learned. Afterwards we enjoyed a reception with punch and cookies. The girls were also invited to attend the volleyball banquet in November. Good times.

Just Remembering...

And definitely looking forward to next time!

Quilted Wallhanging

I am finally determined to finish this project. Probably because it is the last step in redecorating the guest bathroom. I am thread basting it, then I will begin hand quilting. I decided to take a short-cut with the binding. I will fold the backing over instead of cutting strips. Partially because I am anxious to finish, but mainly because I am running short on fabric. Here is the work in progress...

So Glad He's Home

I'm loving my husband! He gets to spend a few days at home with us and I'm so glad. He's been working alot and I've been missing him. He has enjoyed today, but I wouldn't say he spent the day relaxing. He worked all morning in the yard. It's looking nice. Then he spent the evening painting our guest bathroom. It looks amazing. He's amazing!

Quilt Squares Part 2

Aubree designed her own.

Quilt Squares

Today we worked on and completed four quilt squares. They will be mailed to another homeschooling mom who will then have them put together and quilted. These quilts (four of them) will be gifts for a grieving family. They recently lost their two year old in a horrible accident. We moms, who frequent a homeschool message board wanted to do something to comfort them. My girls helped by embroidering on "their" quilt squares. I will hopefully post pictures later of our completed project.
