New layout for SPRING!

Here in Michigan we have had a few spring like days...FINALLY! I had to celebrate the moment and change my layout on here. I AM SO READY FOR SPRING!!!! This winter up here kicked my booty! We are hopeful that this will be our ONLY Michigan winter. We put in to go back "home". For us that is Indiana. Those who pray, please pray for us that the transfer comes in soon. We all are homesick and wanna go home. Being up here with no family and in this unstable economy is stressful. So anyway that is the goal in the next 6 months.> Back home in Indiana.

Contest quilt is going very well. Should be all pieced this weekend and I want to turn it in by next week. It's been a blast to design and sew up. I have high hopes for it in the contest. Next on the list is my daughter's quilt. I have half the blocks done for it and I need to finish the rest up and quilt it and bring that to her in Ohio. Then I have my son's to do the same with. After those.... I am sure I will find more to add to my plate, list. ALWAYS have projects to do. The issue seems to be the time to do them all. AHHHHH the creative life of a quilter. Gotta love it.

I got a GREAT chance to do some work for a awesome sewing mama who is writing a book. I am sewing up some of her projects that will be pictured in the book. YAY! I get my name in the credits which to me is worth SO MUCH! It's the little things. Each is a step closer to making this hobby into so much more for me.

The twins start kindergarten in the fall so I have more time to devote to my biz and work on making my dreams for it happen. YAY

Nice looking layout, Angie! And I will be anxious to see the quilt you are making for the contest when the time comes. As to this winter - it has been a real one. We moved to Michigan about 16 and a half years ago and this has been the snowiest, coldest one. The others have been more like what I was used to in Illinois (my home state) and Iowa. The only difference I could see was that spring comes a little later and winter a little earlier. We spent a long time in Kansas, too, and that is really fickle weather there. You just wait a few minutes and the weather changes. I know from talking to my son that it was around 80 one day last week - but it could well get down to 10 or 15 later on. I think we all will love to see some green! One major plus I have found in Michigan - not as many bad storms here!! We lived in Topeka, Kansas, in 1966 when a tornado hit there. We were not affected but I sure hate those things! Anyway, I think we can start watching out for robins!!
