Post Card Swap

My fellow Blogger Brenda from The Quilt Journey wants to start a post card swap. I thought it was a great idea so I joined. If anyone else is interested in swapping with us head over to Brenda’s blog and let her know. This will be a great way to meet new bloggers and make friends across the world. Hugs and happy blogging.

Happy Father’s Day

I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day. My hubby had drill this weekend but surprised us by coming home early today. We took a nap when the baby took a nap. We needed it. The boys made dad some cards and I made him a wall hanging. He told me not to buy him anything so I made something instead. My husband likes to Geocache. He has gotten us involved as a family. We are 3/4 of the way to 300 caches found. So in honor of his hobby the wall hanging is themed using the colors of the Geocache logo.

Fabric Post Cards

Okay, I have been wanting to make fabric post cards for a long time. I signed up for a swap the other day and have to make four. I figured this was a great way to bite the bullet and do it. Oh my, I am in love with making them. These are the first 3. I made 2 more with different cats but I haven’t finished the edges yet. I will post those later. They are simple but speak volumes to me.

The Boys

Do we look happy? I don’t think either one of them are very photogenic lately. Josh needs a hair cut and well Andrew just doesn’t care yet.

Quilt Book

I have been wanting to buy this book for sometime because I am an unexperienced quilter. I can straight line quilt all day long. I have been afraid to free motion quilt. I think my biggest fear is that I will be really bad at it. But anyways, I found this book at a discount store yesterday. It was the only one and only $7.00. I had to get it. I also bought 2 cook books for $3.00 a piece. How exciting. They are hard covers too.

I went to the OBGYN today for my post-partum check up. It went great.

Some very sad news for my family came this weekend. My great grandmother passed away. She was 88 years old. She had a lot of health issues and her body decided it was time to go. She was a wonderful, kind and caring lady who will be missed. I take comfort in knowing that I will see her again someday. I miss you Gramma.
