Lunch in Lucketts

North on 15 is a little pit stop before you hit Maryland called Lucketts. It is like going back in time and they have the best antique store with lots to look at. Today was a beautiful day and Dee and I decided to meet for lunch and look around.The quilts and vintage tableclothes were the most popular with us. Hard to keep from grabbing them up, but I managed to walk away only because I know the family and I are going up to Intercourse PA and I'm sure there will be things there I must have.Dee put on a tiara in one of the fabulously decorated rooms and I had to have a photo and share. We each brought our lunch and had a picnic. A great day had by all.

Houseguest

Fluffin finally decided to come in for a visit. This has been a four month project of feeding this little ball of fluff (thus his name) to trying to get him to accept people, to coming in for a visit. It didn't last for long - maybe 10 minutes and then he was crying to go outside. We've set up a place for him in the garage if he needs one. And speaking of the garage. Look what I found on my saddles when I went to run a few errands. Cowboy Pumpkin taking a nap.

Dragonflies

  I thought is was fun that one came to the window as I was quilting one on the Pinwheel Quilt. I am halfway through and I have to watch myself that I am not rushing through. When I rush my stitches get different sizes.

The Block Swap

These are my The Block Swap blocks for May. Nicole had this month and asked for Wonky Log Cabins with permission to get a little wild and ambitous. You have to love a girl that gives you free reign to create, create, create. Nicole is making a quilt for her new light blue suede sofa. Her colors she sent were blue and brown and wanted us to add in orange from our own stash. This was my fun morning while my littlest one was home sick and slept ALL morning.

Happy Mail and Fluffin update

Look at what sweet Crystal sent me for the May/ Easter Swap done by Old Red barn Quilt Along Group. The queens are going to be so happy with the candy as I'm trying to loose some of the extra stuff I have going on right now, but NO ONE is touching that magazine. I can't wait to look all through it. Queen 2's tennis lesson would be perfect for that. Cryatal also sent thread and fat quarters and a gift card to Joann's- I know- I'm totally spoiled!  Thank you Crystal for everything.

And Now on to Fluffin. Look at that face. How sweet is this kitty? Still not all about being touched, but comes to the door every morning and evening and will play with me with the kitty toy I bought. I did have him in the house one morning last week and he was good. A little freaked out and meowing to get out at which point I let him. I want him to come to me and am fighting grabbing him up and demanding he love me. He is getting so much better though. And would you just look at that face?

A Day Off

The Queens had off last Friday from school and we went to the park with the pups. The dogwood is in full bloom and the sun was shining. We started off with dentist apts.. and then the pups had grooming apts. In between we went through a drive through- treat for us- and took it to the park and ate our lunch outside.

Jack would like a fry please.

A very good day

Dont you just love a good day? The weather is great. I'm having all kinds of creative ideas and looking forward to my Stella walk. Because of the book below, I've decided to be brave and give handquilting a go. It's really not so bad. I love to embroider in the family room and this isn't too far from that. The book- a great story with lots of quilty knowledge thrown in. Plus- Plus

This is my placemat that I recieved from Jodie. She had owls on the brain too. Isn't it awesome? She also gave me 1/2 yard of MM Owl By Myself. I have already made a quilt of out the 1/2 yard I  had and now I'm thinking of another.
