My 4 grandkids are keeping me hopping busy with all their stuff...I've joined instagram since I last posted and last night a dear friend suggested I start blogging again and she helped me link my Nonies homemade to my blog...here are a few things I've been doing. I am going to be more intentional with posting blogs in the future, I really missed the blogging community.

And got enough inspiration to make a few aprons. I'm really looking forward to a couple new projects as well...<br />

I am able to do the things I most enjoy outside of time with my Husband and children and Grandchildren and that is Cook delicious meals, work in my garden, Read lots of books and Sew to my hearts content...I am once again looking forward to doing the things I enjoy doing instead of dreading them...that is my Truth...finally in ending this I will say I have a wonderful Husband that just loves me as I am...and helped me through this difficult time he was and is always my Cheerleader always my encourager and always my rock to hold onto (next to God of course)...with all that Truth said I am ready to get going on this adventure called life...and that is the honest TRUTH!!!<br />

Life got busy and time flew by and I just checked and seen it's been several months. I have been sewing it's just slow right now as I am getting geared up to start my Christmas sewing. I was really hoping to be organized and ahead of myself to add my stuff to a couple Bazzar's this year but looks like it's not going to happen.<br />
well I am off to look for ideas for sewing...wish me lots of luck....Here is a couple pictures of some of the things I've been working on.<br />

March Hello April....Hard to believe how fast this year is already going by...what's the big fat hurry anyway??...although I have been busy as a bee sewing the last couple days the weather is perfect and it's doing that up in the 80's down to the 60's thing that it does this time of year... there is no way to know how to dress so I dress like I'm going to the beach, shorts, sandals and a hoodie....I also noticed how drab my winter décor was in my house so it was time to add some spring color...starting with a set of Criss Cross Coasters that I just have so much fun making...the cool thing is by the end of each season they get so worn out from cold drinks sweating on them that I just toss them away...washing them just causes distortion and there is no way to save them at that point....here are a few things I've been making in the sewing room....<br />

Why in the world can I NOT get the hang of crocheting?..I am desperate to get this down pat...Thankfully I have a very patient gal that is teaching me how and let me tell you she has the Patience of Job because I am a handful with this newest project...it all started because I kept seeing cute Granny squares on my pinterest news feed...so I got the brilliant idea to drag out all my old crocheting needles and yarn ( yes, there was another time I lost my mind and thought I wanted to learn how) so here I am trying my darndest to just learn this simple thing...ok so as your looking at the picture of those little darlins your probably thinking those aren't too bad for a beginner...well let me tell you those three squares took me 2 and a half weeks to complete...I can make at least a couple table runners in that amount of time...well the thing about me is I am stubborn and I WILL get this..<br />

As I was thinking back I took my first Quilting class between 12 and 15 years ago...a beginners Quilting 101 class and I took a lot of notes I wanted to be sure to make every stitch perfect so it would fit all together....well as I have been making a few more difficult quilts over the years I am finding things don't always fit together perfectly I've spent many hours seam ripping and starting all over, I've even thrown blocks away out of frustration...what I have learned is nothing is perfect sometimes you just have to take your eyes off the imperfections and allow a little grace to take over...I've learned in the process of that Patience...I have to be patient with my machine, myself, the pattern I am working with etc...I've learned to think outside the box and create on my own, to do what I like on a project...even to the point that sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a pattern in my head and I have to draw it out so I don't forget...Quilting isn't just a hobby for me it is a lot of life lessons along the way...Grace, Mercy, Faith, Hope and whole lot of Love...<br />
