Sew? What's New?: August 2008

Winter 2011~

I wish there was more time! More time to quilt, more time to relax! Just time to enjoy life! There's so much stress in my (and most people's) life, that I'm simply not enjoying it. I'm trying! We now actually have FUN in the cold, snowy winter! We go snowshoeing with amazing friends. We hike, and bike and I run! The hiking and biking are fun...the running? Not so much. But I do it. I ran 5 miles in the Turkey Trot this past Thanksgiving! First time in that event. Larry stayed home and cooked! Loved that part!

But I think about all that I want to do. I just turned 59...can't believe that! 59! When did I get that OLD?? Funny thing is, I'm more active NOW than I was back when I was YOUNG! I'm in better shape, and I think I'm a happier person.

Just wish I had more time....

Here it is, August 24, 2008. It's 2 years today that my mom passed away. Can't believe it's 2 years. Doesn't seem possible. And, sadly, she never got to see my quilts. I started quilting the November after she died. But, I know she's watching what I've done.

Summer is almost over. Hard to believe that, too. It just goes by way too fast. It's been a hot one this year, but rainy, too. Bad storm today. Lot's of thunder and lightening. LOUD!!

Here's a pic of my most recent quilt. It was made for a friend of my daughter, Debbie, for her baby shower. The whole theme was ladybugs, and when I saw this pattern, I knew I HAD to make it!
