Machine Quilting Isnt JUST For Quilts!

Can you tell what it will be? They are hot pads, Mitts, large and small with heat treated batting for a local restaurant! Sometimes machine quilting isnt for quilts at all!
Adorable function:) For Chefs line and Servers alike... Say no to hot Pasta Bowls!

Dreaming With A Broken Heart

When I'm dreaming with a broken heart, waking up is the hardest part.

 I roll out of bed and down on my knees and for a moment I can barely breathe.

Then I remember the wave will subside and life goes on, and life is still good.
I find that smile and my step begins to spring froward. I have no idea why, but I am grateful for the resilience in me, and the lack of bitterness that could, and probably should be ever present. Thanks be to God and my support systems. They keep good news following bad. I find that the fear turns into courage if I treat it right. If loss/fear hasnt killed me yet... what can? Nottin. Nada.
Why so pensive ya ask? Because I still have the dreams we discussed a very long time ago and this week, pretty tough. I so loathe them too! I'm very certain that is the cause of a series of loss (es). No one could blame me really if I ran down the street naked screaming obscenities right? Of course right. However good news did follow, and I feel encouraged, empowered and wanted to share. Again I have to say that sharing is healthy, but maybe not such a good idea at this time.
I have much yet to do. To give. To share. To love. And I shall.

Family Time MM

Yes it is! I am so busy I forgot my MM Manners again! ( almost)

I'm working hard on Mid State Fair Entries, outside work, inside work, and yep....cooking!

One would think that I'd be skinny as a rail by now but nope... what a struggle! It must be the age. Mind over matter says I.

The kids came to give warm fuzzies this week end and it was sure needed! We all had fun in the pool and at the beaches. ( aka water parks) We ate too much, drank too much, didnt talk enough. All in all the house was alive with laughter and I like it that way.

Back to work I go now, I hope that you all made it a marvelous Monday today!
