#91 Scrappy Quilt

I just love this little quilt. It is a baby quilt. No baby in mind, just a pattern I've been wanting to try for a very long time. I save my scraps and trim them up into various sized pieces, store them in an organized fashion, then pull them out when I need them. This was perfect for those little baggies! Another finished project while I had time at home.

#90 Reflections

Another task checked off of my "To Do" list....clean house! My floors were so clean, I could've eaten off of them. ('course, I have that 5 second rule in my life, so technically, I eat off of them anytime!)

#89 Spring Break is over

I'm getting ready for work again....man, those 11 days just flew past me. (I'd taken 2 extra days on top of the vacation.) I was able to complete many things on my "To Do" list; I think I'll take this week to document the completion of some of those projects/tasts.
This is a quilted purse I started at the quilting retreat and just finished. I tried to find a button to go with it but Jo-ann's wanted $5 for a single, plain button. Nope. I think I have some Fimo dough so that I can make my own. The inside is loaded with pockets; one for a cell phone, which I don't own, so I'll have to find fun things to put inside.....or maybe I'll donate this back to my quilt guild for the Fall boutique since it is quite large for me. I prefer the small handbags that hold a tiny wallet, a tube of lipstick and aspirin!

#88 Home from market day

Coming home from town, I always look for a glimpse of our house....this is about 6 miles away and our house is a dot on the side of the hillside.

#87 Love Bugs

Just before we left for Seattle, I took this photo of my mini daffodils and two love bugs basking in the sunshine. (Trust me, there were two of them....one is hiding behind a flower.) We call them love bugs because they are more often than not, joined in pairs! I think they are really Maple Bugs.

#86 Market Day

Awhile back, Amy posted a photo of her fridge; thinking of her photo, I believe I need to go to market! Although after shopping, I'll add a few items, I still can't fill my fridge. My pantry and tiny freezer are the same way. (What in the heck do we eat anyway?) One of those items is homemade rye bread I just tried. Good, but not great...I may play with the recipe before tossing it.

#85 Nice view

When in WA, we were invited to dinner at my sister-in-law's and brother's home. All my siblings were there, (as mentioned prior.) I couldn't help but take this photo as the sun was going down through the clouds, fishermen were getting their last few casts in, and laughter was pouring out from the house behind me. (This is the view from the deck off of the dining room. )
