Are you a bit Crazy & Twisted?

Some of my friends would say that I am 🙂  I’m ok with that because you know what…I am!

If you are too you should head on over to Fiber of All Sorts! I have teamed up with Shanna again to start a new online quilting bee of sorts. This one is a little different, it goes about it outside the norm. Instead of your typical blocks or rows or rounds we are doing things a bit crazy and a little twisted.

Here is a sneak peak at what we are thinking of creating!

1. Emily’s Round Robin Quilt, 2. The Traveling Quilts Bee – Round 4, 3. Improvi-Robin #1 front, 4. birds eye 1, 5. The Traveling Quilts Bee – Round 7, 6. QUILTCON ~ Improv Round Robin 02, 7. QUILTCON ~ Improv Round Robin 00, 8. QUILTCON ~ Improv Round Robin 11, 9. QUILTCON ~ Improv Round Robin 13

So if you are a little bit crazy and maybe a bit twisted too – go check out Shanna’s blog and see if you are interested in joining us on a new quilting adventure! To join this bee, you must have prior swapping or bee experience.

Today is the day. My birthday.

And since nothing is cuter than a baby’s first birthday, here is a picture of Anne on her first birthday 🙂

I would like to thank everyone who has asked to be a pattern tester. I am slowly going through emails and responding. I want to let everyone know that I have been unexpectedly called home so the next week I will be packing and then driving 800 miles to my parents house.  Please know I will respond to every email I receive but I might be a bit delayed. Thank you for your understanding.

Have you missed me? I’ve seriously missed you all! On the 18th Anne came down with a fever that lasted for 5 straight days and she lost 3 lbs in those 5 days. Now 3 lbs may not seem like a lot to most people but when you consider that most toddlers average weight gain over a year is between 3 and 4 lbs then that number is a little more frightening. As soon as her temperature broke, mine kicked it in to high gear. It turns out Anne had Strep B (I didn’t even know there was more than one kind of strep until last week!).

I have now been sick for a week and yesterday I finally dragged my butt to the doctor to get a lovely diagnosis of bronchitis mixed in with a severe asthma attack for which I am now on antibiotics and steroids. I am hoping to be on the mend by the end of this week, and I’m so sorry that I have up and disappeared.

You have until tomorrow evening to enter your finish for January’s A Lovely Year of Finishes Party and the February goal setting party will start on Friday so start thinking about what you want to work on next month. I have one big deadline I will be working on in February and I will share that with you on Friday.

Have a great day! I will be spending my day convalescing.

Thank you.
