Home again, home again

I tried to post last night when we returned home with college girl but Blogger would not cooperate even though it was not time for the scheduled maintenance. I have had 'issues' with my internet connection all day today and it has been pretty frustrating.

I wanted to share some pictures of the finished Pinwheel Baby Quilt. My 7 1/2 week old great nephew didn't get too excited about it, all he wanted to do was sleep, but his parents liked it.
I am still working on taking well lit photos of my projects. I really dislike flash but when the wind is blowing it sure does help.




Here is the tote bag that I made for my sister using Tanya Whelan's Practical Bag pattern. My sister and I were travelling buddies when we were children and I thought she would like this Alexander Henry print as much as I do. She can use this bag for toting her library books or taking stuff to the beach.


THIS is what we were met with when we got my daughter's dorm. ALL of this stuff was supposed to be put into our vehicle! I am not even sure you can see everything in the picture! She insists that we took it all there in the fall but I just can't believe that. Let's just say it is a good thing we were driving a suburban with the back seat taken out.


The kids are getting back into the routine of being home together. My son spent most of the day helping his sister unpack, move things from her room into the spare bedroom and generally harassing her.

I did a little bit of sewing today but I need to get caught up on my Quilt Along quilt! I am hoping that I can make huge progress on Tuesday.

Praise - for safe travel to and from college and that my hubby will make that drive basically alone when I fall off to sleep and don't keep him company.

Prayers - for our young friends that are on a mission trip in Mexico. For their health and safety, for cooler weather but most importantly that they would be sharing God's love with those that He puts in their path.

  5. :) I remember having LOTS of stuff. Fortunately, my family was only an hour away. So we made two trips. My parents came up about a week before I was done and took a lot of stuff and then I took the rest with me in my vehicle.

    It's great that she is home and getting some time with her family and brother. :)
