So on Saturday as I sat sewing my guts out getting ready for Fall Quilt Market. My Sewing Machine decided to not sew. It stopped and refused to start. So I patiently took the whole thing apart and oiled it and cleaned it and put it back together. And miraculously it still did not sew. So on Sunday I tried again I oiled it and took it apart and put it back together and this time it worked it

So you know I have 5 kids. I didn't realize how much damage they could do. For some odd reason they really like to break things. Especially my things. And especially these three boys that I had right in a row. Usually they break things that mean a lot to me or that I really need. For example a few weeks ago they ruined my round brush that I use every day to do my hair. They totally smashed

About ten days ago My dads dog Gus and our dog Kate became the proud parents of 7 yes 7! Llewellin Setter puppies. Oh man are they cute. They are a little bit of a rare breed. You see my maiden name is Llewllyn. It is Welsch. These Setters are the only true breed of setters left in the world. We actually purchased ours from a very good kennel in Arkansas, and had them flown here as puppies.

We have had a pretty fun summer. Spent a little time at Grandpas Cabin, a little time at the ball park (oh I mean a lot of time at the ball park) Done a little water sliding. And just a little general goofing off. This mom has not gotten anything done though. I am ready for some serious mom/sewing/time!!

Well, I have opened my own quilt pattern company. I know crazy huh! I think it's crazy anyway. For those of you that don't know, I have been designing quilts for Izzy & Ivy Designs a while now. Well, I am going out on my own. It will surely be an adventure. My new company is called Sweet Ruby Designsand I hope to be having a booth at Spring Quilt Market next year in Salt Lake City. Cross

Oh no I did not die. I know some of you might wish I had. But I am still here. I am just busy. I do a few things here and there you know. Here is a quick update on life. I got myself a new toy. A laptop. And it sure hasn't helped me blog more, but it has helped me try and straighten out the books at my husbands business. I have written 4 more quilt patterns that are supposed to be coming

Thoughts for today*I like to eat broccoli, but my gall bladder does not.*I think everyone should wear polka dot pajamas and mismatched socks.*It should either snow a lot or the sun should come out.*Fabric makes me smile.Over Christmas break my cousin and his fam came to visit. It was like being on a staycation. We had a fab time doing things with them. One day we went to Soldier Hollow to go

So the past few Sundays I have been giving my husband this lecture on going to church. I start out with the line "I have made an executive decision, We are not going to miss church anymore." I go on and on and then I get into the part about how if we want blessings that we need to get up and get going and all that jazz. Well this Sunday wasn't any different. We got to church, made it through

Oh the new year is here. My new year is totally going to be soooo different than last year. First off my friend talked me into going to Zumba at the Community Center with her. It is 3 times a week at 6:30 in the morning. It is super fun. But man is my butt sore, and my legs, and my stomach, and pretty much all of me. I guess that means it is working. I am not motivated to get up and go to

So the cancer scare is over. My grandma, who lives in an apartment attached to my house found a lump but it is benign. THANK heavens. The ward party is over. The baby is better. I am feeling a bit more sane today. Thanks for the love Lola, and Bonnie. I will wish you a happy last weekend of shopping today and begin cyber giving tomorrow again!!!! On a terrible note.

So today it snowed a whole bunch. I don't know maybe 8 or 10 inches. It makes me want to eat soup. A while back I had some soup that was fabulous. It was from a resturaunt in Alpine called The Blue Lemon. I haven't been there, but I have only heard wonderful things about it. The soup I loved was Tomato Bisque, I am not sure if that is it in this picture or not, but this is from their

So todays gift is not a fun gift! I am really really sorry for that. This morning as I was wandering around, well it was more like running around (in my new cyber nikes of coarse), doing my usual morning duties. I noticed something not so nice. I happened to glance in my front room. This is my nice room. The room that is always clean, the one with the nice clean couch, and the piano. Well,

Today was a crazy day!!! Man am I glad it is over. We blessed our baby Ava today. I was up till 1:30 last night cleaning and cooking. It was a wonderful event. All that running around reminded me of my favorite running around shoes. I really like Nike shoes. All of them. Never met a Nike I didn't like. I thought these ones looked fun.

So my Internet has not been working. Bummer. But, it is fixed. I wanted to start this at the beginning of December but it didn't work out that way. I love Christmas. Yes, I love Christmas.

Remember this cute boy! He is hilarious! I mean he says the most off the wall things. He recently had an IQ test at school. The school psychologist was amazed.

So I decided that my sewing room needed a little pick me up. I don't know what got into me. Maybe it was the giant piles everywhere. Who knows. So I attacked the cupboard.

In my little world sometimes life changes. I am sure everyones does this. It seems like I am always looking forward to the next thing in line. For Example: I just had a baby. It seems like I waited for ever for her to get here. Then she got here and I had a break from regular life for a few weeks. Well, the break is over. Real life has started again. It is a little bit difficult finding

How sucky is that. Everything went really well with her. Except for that 15 minutes when my epidural decided not to work on one side! My other children love her.

My oldest daughter went to Jr. High today. I can't believe she is old enough for that. Or maybe I don't want to believe that I am old enough for that. I cannot wait for Thursday when they are all in school. Its coming fast. Thank goodness. I love the structure it creates. I think my kids are wanting a schedule also.

So my youngest little monkey is spoiled rotten. No really, spoiled rotten. I know I shouldn't have done it but now it is too late. Mind you he is almost 4 and he is home with me all day by himself, so he gets to do pretty much whatever he wants all day. But just look at him.

Have you ever wondered what you could do with a cracker? I was thinking about saltines today as I was watching monkey #3 pack his package around the house with him. Its funny to me that I can buy all the different kinds of crackers in the world and my kids always go for the plain old saltine.

The good times are almost gone.For some reason I am glad. Maybe because this week has consisted of (and it only gets worse) too much stuff. Three days of dancing workshops and auditions for Twinkle Toes. Three days of Soccer camp for the boys. Practice for the upcoming Rodeo that Twinkle Toes and her brothers will be in. Scouts.

Yes, it is true this last week I left the age of 32.I have been too busy. I have been working, sewing, and trying to entertain the little circus people. In the midst of all the craziness I did find time to have a birthday. I got some fab gifts.The Angel in my life gave me these awesome dishtowels. The ones on the right she even made herself. The bottle is full of dish soap. What a cute way to

If you read Lola Again then you know that she has a friend opening a Quilt shoppe. Well, she is my friend too, and I also have been drawn in by the many bolts of fabric. I have been working hard at making samples for her shop, and at helping her organize. It has been so fun!! While I have been having all this fun my blog has been totally neglected. I will soon have some fun pictures of all

Can I just tell you that I have HAD IT!!!!I cannot take anymore.This cute boy pictured here with my sister, is the latest victim of the evil fairy that lives here. On Saturday while in the front yard dancing for money (don't ask) this little monkey #3 fell off of the bed of his dads truck, and yes, cut open his head. So it was off to the hospital again. He was screaming so much that I guess

I really think that the , Could you go to the doctor one more time, fairy has been hovering over my house. I really wish she would leave. I am out of co-pay money. Thank goodness for our Health Insurance. It costs us an arm and a leg, no pun intended, but its a good thing we have had it. First off my monkey #1 had a terrible allergic reaction to some weeds and his eyeball swelled up rediculously

My new sewing machine arrived today. It is great!! Well, so far anyway. I haven't done much with it but open the box, and read the instruction book. I did thread it and try out a few stitches. So far so good. Maybe it will make me a wonder sewer and all my projects will get finished. Even the 4 quilt patterns I bought on a little quilt shop excursion I went on today. I will have to share

I finally got around to getting pictures of my fab socks up!! I love them how did Tricia from www.123checkoutthefamily.blogspot.com know that I have a passion for knee socks. I am sure to get things done faster in these babies. I am sure that if I ever run out of work to do that I could get a job as a rodeo clown. Maybe these fab socks will inspire me to use my bike a little more. I am sure

This is my new sewing machine. I ordered it from amazon yesterday. I am sooooo excited. Now don't get me wrong I love my other sewing machine. It is a 1950 Singer Featherweight. It has served me well. I mostly just quilt so it is all I have ever really needed, but these days I have been trying my hand at purses, and maybe I will try a skirt soon. So I thought I might need a machine that

Guess what I have internet. I really don't know what I did back in the ice ages before there was this wonderful world-wide web. Well, now I have to make up for the lost time.Have you ever tried to take a picture of the Loch Ness Monster or maybe Big foot? Well, I have captured a few images of the Queen Bee. She sometimes appears at the floral/salon where I work although few people have been able

So Sorry. I am borrowing my moms computer right now. I am hoping to receive my socks soon!!! Have you got yours? Today is the last day of school so that makes me weep also. Now I have to have a lot

This has been a much better week. First off i got a pedicure (which every mom of 3 monkey boys needs). Just look at these cute toes!! Too bad that soon they will be covered with some funky socks!!! Then I got some new nails. I admit I am totally addicted to my fingernails. I haven't been without them for some 13 years or so. I really need them. I use them all the time. I think I should be

Sorry, I have been absent from blog world lately. Maybe it was due to my crappy week. This is a lovely picture of what my week started out with. I have these 2 boys who are now dubbed the vadalosers. These pics are just two of the many places that black spray paint ended up in my brand new house. There were many other places, but I have gotten rid of most of it now. These lovely boys of mine

This morning about 5 am. Twinkle Toes' horse Shona had her baby!!! We have been waiting forever. (She was due on April 1) and of coarse she waits until we have a rainy night and day.She is so cute!!! Nothing gets you out of bed in the morning like a baby horse. It is a philly (girl) by the way. So CUTE!!!! My littlest monkey wants to get right out there and ride it.

Tonight i was so politely reminded of why I live at the circus. First one of my friends came over to get a haircut. I don't usually do this at home, but she's going on vacation so her and her daughter came over. Well, right after I got done with the haircuts I happened to glance over to my mud room and noticed my little monkey #3 (wearing only his pj bottoms, which are shorts, and his cowboy

Yesterday was a very eventful day. First, off Monkey 2 turned the ripe old age of 6. Second, we decided to go to the zoo with 8 children. Third, i had a few projects that needed to be done by today. So, here we are at the zoo. Standing by the elephant statue. The zoo has made a few improvements since i was there last. New elephant home, a tiger habitat, and a baby giraffe. We of coarse had

Well i was just getting ready to post a finished (well almost)project and got a little too excited. I pushed the wrong key. This is where the stupid part comes in. It was one of those smack yourself in the forehead moments. This is my everything has its season wall-hanging. As you can see it is only in need of binding. Which I HATE BINDING!!!!!! I have probably 3 quilt and 2 or 3 wall

This is my beautiful, newly arranged wall. It was very much in need of some decorating help before today. But my wonderful fristers saved me and fixed it. Now i can have peace in my soul that that wall is not ugly. We have only lived in our new house for about 4 months and that wall was a very upsetting place for me. And yes I said frister not sister. There is a difference, I will explain

So you may notice that i have added a Recipe of the week to my blog. I am usually very anal about dinner. I make a menu at the end of one month for the next month. Then I rip out all the recipes and make sure that i have the ingredients or that they are on my list. You see in my life there is only one day a month scheduled for the grocery store. I am pretty good at sticking to my menu, that

This is one of my 3 little monkeys. He feels the need to wear his pj's all the time. I know what you're thinking, that I am one of those moms who goes to the store with her kid in his pj's. Well, this is not so. I make him get dressed every time he leaves the house and much to my dismay the minute we get home he changes his clothes into his comfy pj's. I would really like to change this, but

I am so excited I just ordered a new camera today. The reason there are no pictures on my blog is because I lost the cord to my camera.(i ordered a new cord also) But i am getting a new camera soon so hopefully i will be able to picture up my blog soon. Sometime i will figure out how to put other stuff on. I am a computer-tard. Anyway my camera is a Canon powershot A720. I hope its good. I
