Sleep Walking

Well, I know you guys have been wondering where I was. We’ve just been busy this week.

Grace is in 3rd grade and she loves reading books. Yesterday in the car she asked me, "Mom, are there books about sleep walking?"

I said, "What, sleep walking? I doubt it."

"Oh darn."
I could hear the disappointment in her voice.

Then I asked her, "What do you want a book about sleep walking for?"

She said, "Because I want to figure it out."

I started to laugh but knew I had to hold it in because she was deadly serious.

I told her, "Grace, you walk around enough during the day, you don't need to learn to walk around while you are asleep."

And so goes life in our house. Sometimes its hysterical!

I’m still working on projects with my embroidery machine. This was yesterday’s project.

I embroidered a design on a small re-usable shopping bag. I got it a little crooked. I think next time I’ll mark the bag so I get the hoop on straight.

I’m also working on a quilt. This is quite a feat for me since I don’t really like to sew. However the quilt squares are embroidered which makes it fun. They will have sashing (a frame) stitched around each square. All of that will be sewn together and then the batting and back put on. My sister has said that she will help me get it together. So watch for updates and pictures.

Here’s a sample of the quilt squares.

There are 10 different squares and I’m making 4 sets, or 40 squares.

So far so good! I can’t wait to get it all together.

Thanks for listening ~
