A little of this and that this.

I've been reading
Going Rogue.
I know,I know , strange reading for liberal (left of Ted me. ) But I was curious. Except for a interesting look into the Alaskan culture I found it a Pollyanna political propaganda .Strangely I did agree with some decisions she made as a Mayor and Governor. But can't see the working in the lower forty eight .Governing a large state with small population would be quite different from Washington.
And a close up of my little Bud.This is what I see greeting me at the window every time I leave the house and come home.

It's Patty's fault!

Most mornings I call to my sis (Patty) in Nebraska to chat for an hour or more. Well a couple weeks ago she was teaching an early bridge lesson and I was left to my own devices. The result= my latest toy, a Cricut Expressions. Yeah, I got caught up in an infomercial. I'm doing a little scrap booking but probably not enough to justify this purchase but in my defense I think I'll use it for quilting too. Anyway it's been fun playing with it.

I'm Back!

If your familiar with our family you know we're animal lovers. Here's the latest addition Mick and Kathy's ladies, Carter the pretty blue eyed one and little Buffy. A year ago they found little three week old Carter in their Vegetable garden. She was tiny and sick but here she is now doing well. Then a few weeks ago they decided Carter should have a pal. So here comes sweet little Buffy.

Little quilting,

1. Tyler went in the Marines last winter. Tyler is in Tech school right now . While we were in Cape Cod we got a call that he was hit by a car in a theater parking lot. We thought that might end his career but although he was pretty banged up but he's on the mend.

I made him this red ,white, and blue quilt. The last picture is the back. I really like fabric I used for the backing.

Just a few more.
