And so...

It's another Friday... this week has just sped by leaving dust in it's tracks. So just where did it go??? I always ask myself that. The answer is???? The day to day STUFF... and extra's like, trimming the goats feet, worming delousing, getting parts for the mower, stringing electric fence wire from here to kingdom come... I felt like a spider afterward. But the goats... large, small, and not yet born... are contained... amazing!

And so... the week has finally come to and end... what a relief! And I even got the yard mowed yesterday. Still needs to be trimmed but I'm only good at so much.

You know, I think I'm' starting to like this whole draft blogger thing... yeah I know I'm behind in the times... so what else is new?! :)

OK...

SO... whatcha think? Like? No like? Hate?

Changes...

I've decided to to totally revamp my blog... once I figure out how to do things! LOL :)

Watch for changes to come!

What I like...


1. pop garden hexagon quilt, 2. IMG_0975, 3. Wildwood quilt, 4. Scrap Quilt - WIP, 5. Paintbox Quilt Along 2010, 6. Charlotte's Quilt

Flickr is a wonderful place. You can find things to inspire you, make you wonder why, or how, and how can I copy that! :) I have put this little mosaic together for a swap I'm in. SO :)

For my likes... seeing as I'm just getting into the whole modern fabric thing (last night I found hot pink fabric with little swimming orange octopus's on it... I LOVED IT!) I like pretty much anything...

For what I don't like... Brown (I'm around brown EVERYDAY!!!), Orange (as the major focus color in a fabric...) other wish I'm pretty easy going. :) and not so keen on muted fabrics... although I did buy some Martinique (loved that...) So I don't know... to my secret swap partner... it's all good!!! NO WORRIES...

Bye for now all, chores beckon... and another day begins...

the wave...

I just love our Iris's 

OK on with the post... It's all the ways one can wave while driving... granted I wasn't driving at the time... but you'll get the idea...

"The Point" 

or one finger up and the others are gripping the wheel as you fly by a neighbor at lightening speed.

"VICTORY!!!"

Or hi how ya doing as you flew by going too fast, on a narrow road...

"The Full"

just the thumb holding on to the wheel... this is saved for being nice when you might not feel like it...

"Hi" 

No Victory dance this time... just a friendly hello... 

And so we wave to friends, neighbors, and strangers on our country roads. 

It was a

Mountain Dew

Cadbury Mini Carmel Egg

Kinda morning yesterday... It just wasn't a day that seemed to flow. It all started the night before with Betsy Rose kicking "stuff" in to the milk... which I didn't know for sure happened until its was all strained into jars with the last 2c. going in to another jar. Had to pitch all the milk for the night. I was not happy. Oh well I got over it, as I always do.

Anyway, yesterday I was cleaning out, up, pitching, purging my sewing space. For the most part I'm done... I can only take so much of getting rid of my stuff (even if I don't remember getting it, or having it) at least I now have a more workable space. I hope, we'll see anyway.

At the moment I'm uploading pictures from my camera... It's been needing to be done, but I keep forgetting to do it. Like I don't have anything better to do. :)

Well it's time to get... if I want to get chores done before noon one must get dressed, out the door and face the day!
