I Know What I Am Going To-Do Today

Here is the skinny.... our oldest daughter was married last Friday.  We did the whole wedding and reception ourselves due to my hubbies unemployment ;)  So THAT is what I did last week <3



I'm tired...well, POOPED out so I have plans to do NOTHING whatsoever this week. ..except to finish the quilt for Alexa's shower on Saturday... YIKES!

Check back, I'll post anything I do end up getting finished ;)

I am for sure going to be washing linens until the cows come home :/

(Just to toot my own horn, I not only did an ENTIRE wedding in four weeks, I also finished 3 quilts.  Two king size and one baby quilt) ....it's OK if you decided I am NUTS! ;D   ...none of which would have been possible with out my AMAZING family and friends :)

  7. It looks like you have your hands full. You are a Crazy Mom, and I don't know how you get it all done. I admire you a lot. I have been trying to get A FEW of my blocks of the month worked on. I am making progress, but not as good as you. Keep it up. Your wedding was spectacular.

  8. Congrats on your wedding! You definitely deserve a week off, time to recover! PJ's, meals in bed, movies, chocolate, and of course quilting!!! My oldest daughter got married last October, with a 5 week engagement! the next one is engaged now, with a May date. I love the bright colors in your quilts.
