Some good reads!

I have been reading which is a very rare occausion for me, but I have fell in love with some books I thought I would share with you. Have you ever read any Janet Evanovich? I have found that all her books are great but the Stephanie Plum series is the best.....then I started reading the Lumby series and fell in love again these books are by Gail Fraser.

I just realized!

You know my blog says cats & quilts right? Well I do not have any pictures of my babies! So I decided to correct this tonight. Let me know what you think...I have 4 furbabies to be exact. The oldest is Naomi aka Nommers she is a torteshell we got her from the humane society.....then we have Frank the tank! He is a mancoon or Mainecoon however you want to say it or spell it....they are known for thier size and gentleness. Then we Velevet she was 1 of 4 kittens I saved from certain death, you see there was a call for help put out on a free cycle website that these kittens were going to die and was there some one out there that could help....well I am a sucker for cats so I went and got them and was able to get them to eat and go to the bathrooom. They were on the verge of as they were very dehydrated after the momma cat couldn't nurse them and their urine was so orange and concentrated that I was scared they would not make it.....Yet they all did! there were 4 total 3 female and long black haird and one male that was balck & white. I kept one, my daughters both have the other girls and my sister in Georgia took the male. Last bu not least I have Buckeye Boo...she has a story to! I was driving back from a biusiness trip and found her near some fileds with esd tail hawks circling around her. I stopped and brought her home and we decided to keep her. She is a long haired tabby and a sweet kitty!

Well I thought I would update some pictures of my grandkids and some projects I am working on. Enjoy!

Good golly I am not very good at this!

I have been sewing though so that is a good thing. I recently signed up for a bag lady swap again and have some beautiful fabric choices and foudn the perfect pattern to make with them. I really need to get some of my UFO's completed though. Tomorrow I am headed to meet a few great quitler friends to hang out, shop, sew and goof off. I will post some pictures of the fabrics form my bag lady soon. I actually got mine back already from a good friend Sue and will post pictures of that soon. Well gotta go be back soon I hope! Ellen

Well Well I see I have done it again!

I hardly ever get on here! LOL

Well since the last time I have some things have changed mainly my health! I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes aos I am trying to get healthier! My blood sugars are in normal range but I need to loose wome weight! I have already lost about 6-7 pounds so that is a good start.

I also need to start sewing again! I have too many UFO's to finish! So that is a goal of mine to!

Wish me luck! Ellen

Geesh!

Good grief I thought I was doing pretty good for a while until I signed in my blog and seen I haven't done anything on here in forever and a day!

Well what can I say life is hectic and the time passes too fast!

I got a new kitten along side a road in Ohio and brought it home. Her name is Boo and she is crazy! Her name should have been mischevious!

I finsished 2 quilt bags since I came home from retreat in September so not much sewing going on here!

My daughter who has Muscular Dystrophy Limb Girdle is pregnant with her 2nd child and so I have been helping her get the house ready and get her organized. She has trouble and things are getting worse as far as her strength. We ahve decided to have a maid come in a few days per week to help out once we get the house the way she wants it. It makes me so to see her struggle and I get teary eyed alot. She has a great spirit about her though so that helps. I love my kids tons and I am so proud of all 3 of them.

Feeling better every day!

Wow what an adventure with viral menegitis I am having. I actually am free of the sickness just having after math headaches and not feeling so well but definately feeling a heck of a lot better. I spent 12 days int eh hospital mostly in CCU. Hubby stayed by my side and is the best man in the world to me! I know alot of you have grteat hubbies too! LOL ANyway I am trying to get up enough strength to go back to work and get some sewing done. I just haven't been able to as yet, but I am doing better so I hope to get some stuff going. It was a good thing I got my challenge done before getting sick or I would be scrambling now. Ellen
