Life as we know it....

Baby Ava Renee
My grandchildren's new sister arrived today.
Great excitement all around.

Evan sick as a dog with a terrible type of strep
Hopefully the others are not right behind him.
No excitement there.

Tonight...such great fun at my favorite event:
Charlotte Modern Quilt Guild

We have a challenge re:
Sherry Lynn Wood
Whose story, by the way is just too awesome.
We took a piece of clothing from the donation table.
Mine was the rayon palm trees on orange shirt...challenge is to make a
36 x36 inch square using only old fabrics..not from our stash.
I found this circle print from an old dress at the Goodwill.
I love a challenge like this!!!


Here are the blocks from our purple group challenge.
A challenge it is....Oh, my..
Not my idea of beautiful...
Embellishment? What can I cut them up to be...or fabric to add..etc.
I just love the creativity ahead..
Was someone speaking of Easter???
I saw this Facebook clip...putting chocolate chips in a Pyrex bowl,
covering them with Peeps...melting them in the stove or microwave..
I forgot which...and once melted, scooping them like a dip with
Graham crackers....
Good Lord, I will never lose weight.!!

Welcome baby Ava! and continued restored health to Evan.

I will let you have my share of chocolate peeps!! Much as I used to love chocolate, well, that one doesn't call my name :):)

But I would love to play with purples ~ ~ ~ and can't wait to see what becomes of the palm trees and the gorgeous circle print.

PLeasant day to you for today!
