Happy October!!

Here is a peek at a runner I'm making. I hopefully will be finished by tomorrow. I'm loving these charm runners because they are so quick and easy for a beginner.

My second picture is the piecing for the baby quilt I am making for my youngest girl. I have sewn it all together, now I just need to wait for the funds to finish it.

No worries though, I have more work that can be done in the mean time.

I had every intention of participating in World card making day but alas, things did not go the way I had planned.

That's okay, I can have my own card making day sometime this week.

We are planning on having a Advent Bazaar the first week of December and if I want to participate I need to get cracking on things.

You know it's not like I'm not already busy but I'm sure if I manage my time wisely(yeah right) I can accomplish all my projects and then some.

We are all superwomen and don't need any sleep right??

Here is another one of those charm runners that is going to be a present for a family member.

I'll be trying a new runner pattern soon and I'm actually both nervous and excited about it.

It's funny to me that I feel calmer making quilts then I do scrappin or card making. What I mean by this is I buy just what I need, no extra embellishments, I have a pattern and I follow it.

I really need to apply this thought process to my other crafts.

I don't usually feel this relaxed when I scrap because I have sooooo many options and extras I can't make a decision.

I know there are sketches and maybe now I will look at them differently and try to use them, where as now they just sit in a binder.

hhmmm.... food for thought. Hell for me a light bulb moment.

the kids have had a great weekend and are right now wrestling with each other on the floor with the dog jumping around them.

Scratch that, they are all trying to get under my feet at the computer desk. the cubby isn't that big.

But the giggles make it all worth being shoved around.

It sure is different than last night when Wyatt shoved Kellys blankets off her bed onto the floor and she gave him a bloody nose for it.

Aahhh...sibling love
