Would you like to see my daughter's art show?

Here are her pieces of art. Next, I will show you some of her show partner's artwork. It was their senior show. Not all pieces were her favorites. The teachers chose what was to be shown. If nothing else, they are interesting. :o)

Another quote I saw...

Buckle up-
It makes it harder for the aliens to snatch you from your car.

A quote I saw...

The Wizard of OZ~~
Just 2 more women fighting over a pair of shoes.

Is life always so busy?

Worked all day, picked up the grandkids from daycare, went to Target and bought some laundry baskets, stopped at the carousel for a couple of rides and came home in time to talk to Rick on the phone (he's working out of town). I left the house at 7:00am and didn't get back until 6:30pm. Sheesh! Are my feet tired! Mind you, they are tired and only in stocking feet because one of the kids accidently knocked the bowl of spaghetti out of my hands and it splatted sauce all over my white shoes. Of course, I had to wash them before they stained too badly. They will be fine, but they are my favorite shoes, so I get to wear something less comfortable to work tomorrow. :o(
Got to read a bedtime story all the way to the end, and even though I was yawning, I didn't fall asleep. :o)
Now, it's time to start a load of laundry, go to bed and start the whole routine over again tomorrow. Sweet dream to all of you. May you have a wonderful May.

P.S.-I ordered a new camera. Yay!

What *is* $100,000,000?

Here' a nice little clip that explains how much a hundred million dollars is, compared to the rest of our federal budget...

Something to think about, huh?

Oregon is beautiful!!!

Retreat week-end

Some of the members of one of my on-line quilting groups went to a retreat in Arkansas, but I didn't go this time. I stayed home and played along with them. Here are some of my finishes...
First, the one that's right at the top, is one I just finished today. It's McKenna Ryan's "High Spy". It's only 12" square, but I swear, it took longer than a regular bed-sized quilt.

Here is both sides of an Elvis pillowcase. I have a friend that L-O-V-E-S Elvis, so I think she's going to be a little excited to get this gift.

Here is my nephew, Jamie, with his new Asian quilt. He spends the night and needed a quilt to use when he's here. My 2 little grandkids aren't always so happy to share one of their quilts, so he now has his own.
The front...

the back...

and the matching pillowcase.

I already showed you the hot pads--now I can tell you, the Coke ones have already found a new home and are much loved and appreciated.

And that's enough for tonight. Hoped you enjoyed peeking as much as I did sharing. :o)
