 This is wednsday and it looks like it will be another busy day. we have been getting a lot of rain this week which is unusual. there have been some storms out in the ocean so that is why. it gets so humid when we get all this rain and heat together. although I must say its good for my plants. I just recently planted some plants in buckets on the deck and they are doing nicely so far. will post pictures later. 

I have another quilt I am working on called the dissapearing nine patch its one of those that I have seen before and thought of doing and have never started one. well I finally did and the blocks are all done but they need to get sewn together. will try and get that done by next week and post a picture of it. so many quilts in progress that need to be quilted. found some adorable baby dinnasuar fabric for the newest great grandson comming up. would like to get that done soon. although the baby is not due untill this winter but it never hurts to get ahead when it comes to quilts. I am also going to make quilts for some of the other great grandkids in spokane for christmas. one of my great grandsons loves dinnasuares and trucks. did not find any truck material so got some dinnasaure fabric and really like it. also have some princess fabric for another great granddaughter (the one that is going to get the baby brother) she is not too excited to having to share her mom and dad with a new baby so thought it might help to give her a princess quilt durring the baby shower and take a little bit of the sting out of it. then I have another great granddaughter in spokane that I am making a barbi quilt for. and once I finish with all of those there is one left that I will have to find out what she likes so that I can find fabric for her. never a dull day. 

I named my blog the way I did because so much of my life is related to fiber type hobbies. between knitting , quilting, crosstitch, ect I am always staying busy. I think I have owned every sewing machine available throughout the past few years just recently invested in two jukis which I love. I have always been one to go full throttle on my sewing machines and these are the first machines I have owned that will acomodate my need for speed.  some other things I love to sew besides quilts are bags they are so much fun! my husband likes to call me the bag lady. when I am not sewing them it is usually gift related like pillow cases, aprons ect. whoever said retirement was boring did not have hobbies. there is just never enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done. right now I need to let the dog out . rascal is our big baby. and fill hubbys pills. have a great day
