Trying for a new look!

My computer hasn't been cooperating lately and I've got pictures and everything to show but haven't been able to get them to my blog. Tonight I'm having some luck and was able to change my back ground and hopefully I'll be able to change my picture. I really want to update!!! I've enjoyed reading your blogs ( when I was able to get to them!) hopefully you'll hear more from me soon!
Have a great 4th of July everyone.

Busy,Busy ,Busy

I've been sooo busy getting things together to work with Claire over the summer (sorta home schooling ). Actually it's been fun and I think I've got a nice schedule worked out for her. I will also be taking her to a program at the public library once a week, and she has occupational therapy out of town once a week. I am setting up a little area for her and have a desk and chair and I even got a really cute calender to hang up. As soon as I have it all together I'll take a picture to show.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Did I say I Love Crazy Quilting?

I don't know what it is but its pure enjoyment and quiet therapy for me.. It helps me to concentrate on colors, designs, embellishments, and all the little things I love. I am making this for my great niece, she loves the peace symbol and I came across this fabric and couldn't resist. I just haven't figured out if I'll make it into a pillow or a wall hanging. I have a lot of work to do on it yet as I've only started the embroidery work ,but that's the fun of crazy quilting!

Everyone have a great week!

Furry Friends Friday

Raja wasn't thrilled with the terms of this meeting from Harvey our bunny, but I think Harvey actually enjoyed it!

Look what I found.

These are growing out of a crack on my patio! I can't believe it's November and I have Snap Dragons blooming! What a nice little reminder that beauty is all around us even in places we'd never expect. I hope everyone has a beautiful Thanksgiving.

Furry Friends Friday

My name is Raja and I came to live with my family in August of 2008. I am a white tri color rough collie. As you can see the collar in this picture even though a small one is still too big for me but my mom has it as a keep sake since I've outgrown it. I guess fridays will be about me and sometimes our bunny Harvey. I can't wait to share more of me with you!!

Nothing Much

Well the school year has started and we have adjusted pretty good, although I can't wait for the time change this weekend! Claire and I both have a bad cold but we're getting better, and I hope she'll be better by Halloween. I've been working on a crazy quilt pillow and will be starting a couple of brooches for gifts....(if they turn out) my sister gave me a pattern booklet by Judith Baker Montano on how to make them so we'll see. I hope everyone has a great week!
