Sew? What's New?: December 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....

Dec 20, 2008. We had a LOT of snow yesterday. Larry is still in the hospital. Today is day 12. He had quadruple bypass, and a few setbacks. I've been home from work for 2 weeks now. Got a lot of quilting done, still could have done more, but got some done. We're hoping he'll come home today, but I'm not counting on it.

This is the quilt I was supposed to finish for last Father's Day for my dad. Finally finished it and now it's a Chanukah gift! It's pretty much his whole family history, from his dating my mom, to all of his grand & great-grandchildren. The cottage, and our late Duchess. It turned out great, so I hope he likes it. I named it Family Story"
