14 hours later!

Ok it's 14 hours later and I have been CQing for 12 of them and it's been heaven!!! I have 2 sneak peeks I can show but not the rest, we are doing a RR and we have to keep the work a secret. The peeks are close up of 2 areas, the first area that had a blue and a gold area of fabric. I had some trim that was gold with blue (and a little pink) swirling through it, I put that around 2 seams and then did a design of beads and a gold embellishment I had, it really look rather neat if I do say so myself.

The 2nd area is a butterfly hiding in a group of leaves and flower buds. The flower buds are silk ribbon french knots in 2 shades of light yellow and blue. Those buds took a long time but it was worth it. Got to head back up for more work, I am almost done with my part on this block. Rae

Back to CQ and not soon enough!!!

I have been so busy with the holidays I haven't CQ'd in way too long. Starting tonight after work I am back at it and plan to do it all weekend.

I have the CQ RR block to work on and I want to really get a look at all I have and take some pics to share of stuff given and the 2 RR's I have hanging. There is some fantastic work done by very talented ladies. So check back soon, they are beautiful to look at. I also want to get more of the links I follow on so I can share with others. Rae

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

May your 2009 be healthier & wealthier, less stressfull, filled with more love and happiness, along with peace in as many areas of your life that it is needed.

Here's to a early and long Spring, not too hot of a Summer, long and colorful fall and we will leave winter out for now.

I love the temps between 40 & 80, no higher - no lower, that's my ideal year round weather. Of course I don't live in state that has that but I can dream right?

I babysat my granddaughter last night, am I glad I can't have children! I don't know how my daughter does it. Layla was here for 18 hours and I was wore out and exhausted. Too many muscles are totally tired and I had to take a 2 hour nap when I got back from returning her to her parents.

I plan to have my oldest granddaughter over for a Friday to Sunday weekend within the next 2 months (got to check the work schedule), now Katie is 12 so I figure that won't be as much wear an tear on the body but it can exhaust the mind. Guess it depends on what we do for fun. I am truly looking forward to it, there is a pic of Katelynn (Katie) at the top.

Have a wonderful 2009 everyone! Rae
