Catching up

Busy times at work with exams starting.  We have pressure put on to get the exams ready at least 5 days ahead while convincing the profs to help us along sometimes is a loosing battle.  What's a girl to do?  I guess just sit back and hope the copy machines are actually working and you don't get sick in the mean time.  Because we don't have a single bit of control. Ugh!

First a couple of pictures from the last Turk Lake Retreat with the Variable Stars this fall.



A beautiful quilt Carol Schon has been working on.  Love the colors.



I think this one was Carols as well. Recycles shirts at their best.



This is a t-shirt quilt I'm putting together for my trainer out of her college and softball t-shirts.

Last weekend was my mom's side of the family's Christmas party.  A coworker is also a cousin and her grandmothers home was right across the street from my grandmothers home.  My grandmothers home, owned by the bank, was torn down as soon as she passed away.  Sarah's grandmother's home, owned by her uncle, is slated to be demolished.  I suggested to her it was forth getting pictures  to preserve those memories.  So since I wasn't sure she would be able to get over and get pictures I stopped by on Sunday and took some.  Love the stone work and gingerbread trim.

Loved the round topped windows upstairs.

I have several retreats coming up, 1 in January, 2 in February and maybe a show in Indiana in March.

Guess that is enough for now.  Take care, enjoy your families!
