Aaargh! It's been one of those days...or maybe I should say weeks. Craziness from one day to the next! Between problems with my sewing machine and me just being tired and careless, I've found myself many times cursing under my breath like a pirate! My baby quilt is coming along (good thing since my neice had her baby, Sophie on June 1st).
But I did end up ripping out an entire edge to undo the backing that wasn't supposed to have been sewn into the prairie point border. Eventually, I got it straightened out and should have the backing/binding finished tomorrow. I love how the prairie points are turning out and I learned a lot about how I will attach this type of border in the future and have an easier time of it.
Aaargh!! Speaking of pirates, I managed to get out to see the new POTC, On Stranger Tides last friday (I think anyway...the last two weeks have been such a blur of activity...graduations...birthdays...newborns...school ending for summer, yay!). But anyway....
I wouldn't say it was the BEST of the four, but it definitely lived up to the three previous movies. Very entertaining...and who doesn't just love Johnny Depp's, Captain Jack Sparrow?
Aaargh!! Also in the midst of the craziness of the last few weeks, I had to watch my Roger accept defeat at the hands of the rogue spaniard, Rafa once again. He had some sweet victories on the way to the French Open final but in the end wasn't able to come through with the goods. Aw, well...it was a great tennis match in spite of the loss and tomorrow's another day and the beginning of another tournament and so it goes.
Aaargh!! I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since I posted anything here. Like I said, it's been crazy busy and I'm hoping now with school out I'll have lots of time to quilt & blog! Good thing because I have several projects in the works. Can't wait!
Most of you know I'm a tennis fan and if you aren't, you may not know that the tennis "season" runs pretty much all year with many tournaments around the world. 
Been looking forward to the Australian Open to see Roger Federer and many other favorite tennis players in the coming week. 
First off, as I was thinking about New Year's resolutions, I ran across this over at Charming Chatter. The idea is to come up with a focus word for the year. Interestingly enough, it wasn't difficult for me to select a word because I have the same resolve as last year and that is to keep BALANCE in my life. I always feel better if I keep a healthy balance between work and home. And balance goes hand in hand with variety. I have an obsessive personality and tend to get too focused on one thing and let it drown out everything else. So I have to work at filling my time with a variety of activities and balance out the time I spend with them. So my resolution is to continue to find variety and
I plan to travel to Oregon to visit my boys sometime in February, maybe take a ride over to the coast while I'm there (haven't seen the beach in a while) ...
