Costco

Sometimes you just have to laugh

at what lengths we go to...

 

to go to Costco...

Hubbys Quilt

 I have not shown anyone this one.

I forgot.

This is hubs quilt that I made him for winter.

My first time making a half square triangle.

It has a flannel pieced back.

And it is not warm enough for our winters. lol

May I introduce ...Emili

One month ago my husbands second daughter had a baby.

She was named Emili.

In order to welcome her to the family in the right way, 

I needed to make her a quilt. 

The twins have quilts, 

The eldest grand son has a quilt.

Sort of. 

It is at the long arm quilter but he will eventually get it. 

So, here is Emili, for Emili. 

I hope it will warm her soul for many years. 

I really enjoy taking the quilts to the Rim. 

There is just something fun about going to the edge and remembering

why we are here. 

I also enjoy the funny looks we get when we take the pictures.

Not many people come to the Grand Canyon in order to 

see a crazy lady and her daughter doing a quilt shoot. 

The pattern for this quilt came from here. 

I saw it on her blog and knew it would be perfect.

Spring...finally

Spring is finally here. 

We actually hit 75 today. 

It is strange that Spring does not arrive till May. 

I am accustomed to it coming along in February or maybe March. 

I will take it, no matter when it arrives. 

Even if we are due more snow next week.

Einsteins Bagels

 I love Einstein's Bagels. 

The only time we get them is when we go down to the valley. 

250 or so miles for good food... 

We are becoming adjusted to that. 

I love a weird sense of humor. 

Einstein's has it. 

This was our bathroom decor.

It is important to know that the thrown awaits. 

But this is much more important. 

You always need to be aware of the acoustics. 

Material

I bought this material last fall.

For some reason it appealed to me in the store. 

Not so much here at home. 

Actually I really dislike it now. 

I have given most of it to Gerry to use for something. 

I still have to give her the rest. 

Now this material is better. 

Much, much better. 

Fruitcake by BasicGrey

So far I have made a table runner for Christmas.

The one that I finished in late January. lol 

I will work on photos of that tomorrow. 

Funny how you can like two different fabrics in the store.

And only like one when you get home.

Round Houses

I love round houses.

Really love...round houses.

I like them so much that I want one.

Badly.

I even liked my Airstream because it was not square.

I loved looking up at my ceiling and seeing the rounded corners.

She was sweet and I lived in her for 2 years.

But....

I really want a Monolithic Dome for a home.

They are a company based out of Italy, Tx.

They are truly lovely buildings.

Did I mention that I want one?

We went to Phoenix this weekend by way of Church.

Church is in Prescott

Not really out of the way.

As we were driving through Mayer, AZ we saw this.

 Oh yes, loveliness on a hill.

Pure, unadulterated, shotcrete.

Too bad it is not for sale.

Sigh....

Did I mention that I want one?
