No Internet for 30 days....#isurvived :-)

 Hey quilter's...hope all is going well. I have to say that we just got the internet up and running again. Oh, my goodness...how I've become accustomed to technology. It was a mess getting it installed but they finally finished. It's amazing how doing without the "internet" makes you stop and think of how technology has advanced. I recently thought would if the whole world shut down with no internet...what would we do...when you go to restaurants everyone is on their cell phones...airports you look around and no matter the age...everyone is on a cell phone. This past month has taught me to take a few steps back in time and relish how slow-paced life used to be, although I was seriously going nuts without internet. I couldn't blog...we had no cable.... we had to communicate (little humor) but seriously how I've become so dependent on internet. I had to laugh recently...if you ask a child what a "phone" originally looks like you would be so surprised with the answers. Well, here's the real kicker.... we had no heat. Oh my gosh, I felt like I was drafted back in time. I had to laugh when I realized "glamping" is more fun when you can prepare for it...well for me anyway. :-) So needless to say,...my "quilt-a-long" is taking a bit longer to start but in the meantime organize those scraps so we'll be ready together real soon :-) Have a great week!

Happy 2022 from Me to You!

 Hey quilter's...happy New Year & I hope your day is off to a great start. This holiday season was filled with lots of Joy & some sadness but that's what makes us stronger. My dear dad's wishes were to make it into the New Year & he did. Sometimes I feel that I get my "goals" from him and have to say growing up military you don't have much of a choice. He was such a strong man & now we have an angel watching and guiding over us all. He told me last week to not get upset over things you cannot change. Boy did that hit home. Although it's the best advice he's given me, I think he forgot how OCD his daughter is. I am going to take his advice to heart & really try to focus on more time for joy, which is spending time with family & quilting projects for them. Time is precious & memories do last a lifetime, so my wish is for us all is Joy in this New Year. The quote below say's is all but mine wish for us would be..."May your bobbins always be full of Aurifil thread. 

Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
