Playing Catch-up

So much has been going on these days - from the big to the small. In the big category one of our two boys graduated this week. I'm so proud of him! He has worked his behind off for this day. Yes, these are my boys, and long story short they just came into our lives a pre-grown so to speak! :) Aren't they cute?... ahem, I mean "handsome"... nah... CUTE!

Also, our Peonies are in bloom! I just love them and they are my favorite flower in the yard. The owners of the house before us lived here for at very long time and left us these beauties. They are so large and heavy that they just plop right down to the ground once they bloom - so we cut them and bring them inside to enjoy. That quilt behind the flowers is the first oneI ever designed and got me on my way to becoming a quilt designer. It's a fixture in our house, not only because I made it, but honestly it's one of my few quilts that has a hanger on the back!


Cars are a big part of our life - my husband is a lifelong car junkie and now restores them for a living. He recently acquired this beautiful 1964 VW Notchback (a pretty rare find) for FREE!!! A nice man had to move quickly for a job and wanted it to go to a good home. Well he found one! So my husband is restoring it for me... I tried to convince him to paint it a very girly, but tasteful mind you, pink. He was having none of that. How about Robin's Egg Blue? I'm even considering making custom door panels for it in a cute blue and yellow plaid. The girl mobile rides! Well someday.

Well, that's it for me now - sort of! Lots of quilts in progress that will be posted here soon. Later gators...
