Beautiful weather

Not many days we have pleasant breezy perfect days. 

Today was one of them, windows open, fresh air filling the house. Everyone wanting to be outside. Not sure who started the balls from the babies ball house. All I heard was snowball fight. Was lots of laughing and giggling happening. Their uncle sat there making parking and roads in the dirt with them, aunt built a race track. Then sister came through with her shovel demolishing it all with her shovel. 

Best is they always clean up when done.

For Today April 3, 2022

Outside my Window…. birds singing, sun shining with squirrels playing

I am thinking….how I really want to spend more time blogging and reflecting 

I am thankful…my home, it is s a dream come true, another day to be here.

In the kitchen….haven't decided on dinner yet. Waiting for the new Hello fresh box to arrive today.

 I am wearing... comfy short and t-shirt pj's 

I am creating… a cathedral window quilt as you go quilt Jera Brandvig

I am going… to the grocery store ran out of butter, flour, bread.

I am wondering…… what don't I wonder about most of my thoughts lately are on the radiation burning. I know it will stop but daily wonder if it is today. 

I am reading……not reading at the moment. 

I am hoping and praying… I am praying for all my children. Oldest is working on buying a place for his family, second has decisions to make over which grad school. Third work, internships, keeping on track for graduation next year. Then youngest she is looking for new job, one that she enjoys, maybe slower pace then what she was doing.

I am looking forward to…. a new grandbaby coming soon. They are waiting till birth to know boy or girl. Momma wants boy daddy wants girl. Big brother would like to have a brother, since he has two sisters already. 

I am hearing…. the youngest grandbaby going around the house talking and making noises. She is so full of life and fun with lots of energy. It is a huge joy and blessing to hear her laugh and play. Months ago she was in hospital for a month very sick.

Around the house….full house, lots of life. Two are up preparing for school, third will be up soon for school. Grand Kids are up and eating, ready to play. 

I am pondering…honestly? How to answer these thoughts.

One of my favorite things….spring when the world comes alive. Flowers, baby birds, trees green with life.  

A few plans for the rest of the week….don't have to many glad not to rush out door since radiation is over. Will work on quilt, and cross stitch. If nice this week will sit outside.

Here is a picture I am sharing….

Working on new quilt

Have been wanting a Pioneer Woman quilt since she came out with her line of fabric. Made pillowcases to match my comforter already have her throw but not the same as a homemade quilt.

Then I came across Jera Brandvig Quilt as you go. Knew the two where meant for each other.

Quilting in the rain - this the link to the pattern I am using from the below book of Jera Brandvig.

(click picture to see Jera brandvig book)

Didn't think ahead of blogging about this quilt so forgive the lack of pictures. Below you will find a picture of the fabric circles in the process of being cut.

 

                                                       

These two pictures are of my finished circles. Next is to cut a template for a  6 X 6 square then mark lines on each circle for sewing them together. Having hard time seeing the finished size right now, I may add more circle to reach the size I really would like to have in the finish quilt.

                                

Can't wait to see the finished quilt, little worried it will be to small for what I was wanting, but with this pattern I can add on to it at anytime.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday,

Tara

Time passes…

How did I begin blogging with little, but now have adults? 

My oldest just graduated Paramedic school. Made Sargent in National Guard. Has 3 children and 4th on the way. Married for 5 years. 

Second born is graduating with B.M in music performance has been accepted to 6 graduate schools. Married to his high school sweetheart for 4 years.

Then my third, Junior in college working towards his civil engineering degree. Has a wonderful woman in his life that is also studying the same things as him. 

My baby, couldn’t be more proud of, at 18 she was totally independent had her own place owned her car. Smart as whip when it comes to money and people. She is all I wished I had been more like.  Has a special man that is perfect for her. 

Last night was my sons Senior Recital big deal for music grads. It brought me to tears. Seeing my babies grow into adults and path their way in this world: raising them, all the thoughts, fears, planing, and prayers. Trying to teach them not just arithmetic and English, but Gods word, faith and promises. Commitment, dedication, ethics, self thinkers, self starters, confident people strong and not influenced by the world.

The biggest deal to me is that ALL four still come home and still call and still include me into their life. 

Boost radiation

Had my first boost today. So thankful this is my last week. I am burnt from one last week after taking a week off. The local pharmacy I use aka Walgreens, never ever ever has the silverdene in stock. Thankfully I asked for more before out. 

I look forward to the day I sit and write about more then cancer treatments.
