The World According to O'Quilts

Warm and cuddly, batted with wool...a perfect thank you gift.
All DONE💙

 Backing is bats...color was right, person could be a bit batty, like all of us.😲😱

 One of the last days before school starts...I found the two littles..."studying??"

Of course not..U-tubing.. and actually getting  along...So grateful.
I see Granddaddy's old  laptop getting a workout.

This morning was open house..meet the teachers...My grands were thrilled that both parents came.
They put their differences and their own feelings aside, for their children's sake.
I am way proud of them... Wonderful!!

I love the school and they love us...the best staff...the best teachers.

My son has been working.

Yesterday, he took Evan, the 13 year old to help him cut down a tree.

Today, he took Dylan, the 8 year old to an outside painting job.
This weekend he has two jobs lined up...
Gas money and helping his mother money.!!

I love our Orkin man, Derrick.

I said...Derrick...What if this does not last with my son????

Derrick said...What if it does???

Fall weather is here for two days...I have been outside reading, Flight Behavior, by Kingsolver.

She is one of my favorite writers.

Her books are like a delicious pastry, needing to be savored a bit at a time.

Joy is being under my tree in the backyard, dog and cat at my feet.
Children with their parents.

Me napping, reading and breathing deeply.

For dying of a broken heart is not a literal thing.

It is just about not giving a damn any more, thus ignoring self-care.
Friends try to encourage, but nothing works if you are not yet ready to care.
My 5 life changing events of the past few years are incomprehensible, even to me.

In the constant drive to clean my sewing room,
 often a surprise pops out from my own personal fabric detritus.

Voila a fat quarter pack reminding me of a time growing up in Arizona.

Where did this come from??

Tula #19   This one was not fun...why I am still doing this?

Addiction, just like Oreos💙

And then my great son...whew....
See, he has not really been around for the past 5 years...He is so guilty about that.
Now, his children cannot get enough of him.
Wooosh...there goes the schedule Stephanie and I have had them on,
like forever.....
Eamon struggle to set boundaries and his children push.
And old Grandma O'Quilts has an awesome sewing room with doors that shut!!

Life is good!!  It is about to get better on Monday, when school starts xo

Lazy Boo just came out of bed for a peek at the world.
He is sick and tired of Stitch getting all the photo ops!!
But, not enough to make an effort.
