If you have not visited this place, you must! Marilyn has the best gadgets, tips and contests for those of you who have a heart for homemaking! Check it out!
Welcome! I hope you will find my ramblings entertaining, informative and maybe even uplifting. You will find entries on homeschool curriculum reviews, concerns and questions as I try to organize my life with three ever growing and changing boys. I will also write about gardening, quilting and scripture. Why? Well, I need a place to put all my crazy thoughts! You are welcome to comment all your crazy ones too... ;)

Sunny, warm. Well, define warm. It is in the upper 30's so yeah, that's warm for us! The snow is melting, the ice is melting and that alone makes me happy! We have lost around 6 inches or so of snow from rain and warmer temps yet we still have 3 ft of snow around the yard, 2ft on the roof and it's probably 4ft still on the road edge. >:/ If that doesn't give you an idea of how much snow we've had, I don't think anything will. I hear good ol' Phil didn't see his shadow this past week so Spring temps aren't going to wait until March 21st this year right?
Today I am going to finish my table runner that I started for a friend of mine. It was supposed to be her Christmas gift but that didn't happen. So, her birthday was the end of January. Surely I'd have it done by then. Nope. Now I am determined!!! I have to bind the thing. The worst part!! Well, besides cutting, sewing, pressing and quilting...did I miss anything? :) I am not a trained quilter or seamstress. I have taught myself with what little I've been able to pick up from here or there. You Tube can be wonderful! Now this binding is something I've not done before. I have points on the ends. Why couldn't it have just been a simple rectangle? Why? Because I like to challenge myself and don't think anything can be too hard....until I try it and realize it's too hard!! LOL!!
Oh well, I'm off to try to figure that one out. Hopefully she'll forgive me when I send it to her in the mail. She can always use it under some plants or when she needs a rag! I'll post a pic when I've completed it, hopefully before the next millennium!
