Past quilts I've made

Ely modeling the flag quilt I made for Rick while he was deployed.

Lindsy's quilt I made in 2009. She loves it and uses it everyday.

This is the quilt I made for myself the week before Dragonfly came because I wanted to take something girly to the hosptial since this was my 3rd boy!

This is a sister quilt. Nicci lived with us for 6 months. We made 3 of these quilts... one for each of her sisters. Each heart is a sister. The big one is their name and the little ones are the sisters. Yellow-Nicci, Purple-Beth, Blue- Sarah, Red- Jessica

We made  this one for Nicci's mom.

This was the first quilt I ever made. Nice pick of a hard pattern huh? I learned lots on this quilt. That trimming is needed. That JoAnn's fabric doesn't hold up even after one wash. That I can do hard things by myself. And that colors do brighten your day!

Glo Bug sleeping with all his stuff

Kayseli sewing her quilt for a class project. She got an A!

Cool storm!

Mother's day dinner! We were all sick so none of us wanted to cook so we got Sprite drinks and a few burgers to snack on. It would a weekend full of THE tummy bug! :)

Dragonfly took this chunk of the table out with his teeth, through his bottom lip. We had to pull the piece out with tweezers. This is the coffee table at the hospital waiting room for the labs.

Maimom asked for a grocery bag holder. This is what she got.

Lipstick for the first time in years!

Fishing at the Inn of the Mountain Gods with Besty and Ben Fisher. No one caught fish because they were spawning but it was fun!

Party up in the mountains! Notice the boots in the background!

Church boys

These are the bugs! This picture cracks me up everytime I see it!

I made the boys church bags that they only get at church so that it's fun thing at church during Sacrament meeting.

Swap for Fabric Basket Swap

My partner was Rachel from wooden spoons! She LOVES low volumes and green. The package was going overseas so I wanted to make it light but still a lot of fun. I thought this basket was a good choice. It's reversable too!

Kindergarten graduation

This is Bee with his teacher, Ms. Campbell on the last day. Ms. Brenda is in the back.

This is Bee's best friend this year, Isaiah. See that rainbow chart in the background, that was how they did consequences for the kids. They started and green and what color they earned at the end of the day, that was what color they got for the day. I did not agree with this because it wasn't an average for the day, it was what color they were on at 3pm. Bee could have been awesome the whole day but the last 5 minutes told his teacher no, he gets a purple day. And then their self-worth is rolled up into these colors. Bee said he was a bad kid because got a purple or blue day. That's when we stopped caring about the chart. When Chris and I were in school, we didn't get notes home every day about how we did in class. If we got a note home, it was because we called Cosme a turkeybutt!

Dragon at graduation, wanting to play with the balls.

There was over 100 kids to hand out diaplomas to. This was Dragon, Globug and I sitting on the floor.

Ms. Shelley and Bee

Bee lining up to do the Bird song.

Sunday

I had to take a picture of my boys. We can't see well but dragon and glo have a faux Mohawk. I did fix bees tie. 

I made the boys pouches just for church. A notepad, couple crayons, plastic animals and one car. 

They did a great job being quiet this week so I call these a success!! I will switch out things to keep it interesting. I hope I remember! :)

So sweet

I am (really) rile good at playing catch with my dad. 

(The spots are dad's uniform and Bee's camo shorts/shirt)

Ivig drama

In May, I got my blood drawn on Monday. I didn't get the results until Wednesday. They were 53K. I got them drawn again on Thrusday. they were 34k. We decided that since they were trending down and it was Thrusday, that I would go up to ABQ that night and have IVIG at 8am on Friday.

These are my pre-meds so I don't have a reaction, or slow it down if I do.

IV and quilting the binding on the red/pink quilt.

My view....ABQ's mountains

Doctor's note for Chris. We love Dr. Quintana! I'm so glad she had me stay the night becuase its so much more comforting to know that a hosptial that can handle me in five minutes away, not 15 minutes to a helicopter ride.

Things I want to make

Look at these things!! I need a cleaning lady and a cook and about a million bucks for fabric!

Pinterest/Craftsy

We were driving up to Ruidoso to pick up Ben from the Ford dealership. Melissa texted me and said get on Pinterest for a Live pin chat. I didn't know what I was suppose to do but listened. It was easy to figure out...just answer the questions in the comments on the pins. Craftsy people then took everyone that commented and randomly picked a person....ME!!! I won $100 to Amazon!! Awesomeness! I bought quilting books, clover pins and more bobbins! Sooo fun!

Thanks Craftsy!
