Busy Busy week!



Hi All:)

As the title states it was a busy week!
Monday the electrician came and spent from 8am till 7pm doing electrical work...hooking up the island, moving the fan from center of kitchen/dining room to over the table, and getting my mixer hooked up. He was in the attic and in the crawl space...poor guy! And he did it all with the electricity on:) Yea for me! I got to quilt all day:)
Tuesday Hubby had a hearing aid appt where he got to pick out what he wanted and we got it ordered...did you know that your eyes, ears, and teeth are considered luxuries? That is why they are not covered on health insurance... you have to get that extra:(
We also had an appt with the lawyer to go over what will happen this week when we probate the wills in front of a judge.
Wednesday was a quilting day:)
Thursday was errands and load a king size quilt.
Friday was a sick day... it looks like it is snowing here with all the cottonwood:( And I was in it on Thursday:(
Saturday we had lots of storms coming in... we didn't get much.... so we planned to do the trim work on the island:) I hate mitering!!!!! I did great the first 3 cuts and then it was no fun after that! But it is on and Hubby did some touch up painting a bit ago:)
Today...a surprise! We met Angela from Prosper in Hillsboro at Braums so I could buy her white featherweight:) SQUEEEE! She is a sweet machine! Born in 1964 and almost mint condition! Pictures are below:)

So next week is busy again! I do plan to start quilting the king size but know I won't get halfway:(  I will do what I can!  Okay on with pictures:




Roseanne made this beautiful One Block Wonder quilt. I have had it since Nov of last year:(

Love the space between the hexies! I stippled most of them but 2 I made into stars. You can see the triangles I quilted around this block. Makes it more interesting I think:)

Corners.... I love the beadboard.

Hot Pink WOW backing! You can see part of the star in this one also.

Kathy J made this BOM for her brother.

She wanted it lightly custom....umm.. really don't know how to do that:) LOL!

Turned out really nice and I hope her brother loves it!

And here is Whitney:)

She was named after Whitney Dam which we crossed over to get her:) Doesn't she look so elegant on the counter top?

She is in near mint condition with only a few scratches. LOVE her!!!!
Happy early Bday to me!!!!

Here is the island all done...well except for the trim. we love the 2 lights over head and they give out SO much light! Def not good first thing in the morning:) You can see Calli in the background..

We have eaten almost every meal there since.

The fan got moved over the table:) YEA!
What you don't see is the old hole where the fan was:) Yes we will get to it soon:)

My mixer is all installed and ready to use.

Love the way it is all setup! She is always plugged in and ready to use....just lift her up and the shelf locks in place and to lower I unlock and she glides back down:)


Hubby thought the old mixer did not go well with the new kitchen so he ordered me a new one in stainless:) Happy early Anniversary!

So that's it from here for right now.....more to come next time!
Happy Sewing!
