Sew I Think I Can Quilt

Busy Busy weekend

We had a pretty busy weekend. We bought a used stackable washer and dryer from an older lady. Saturday we went to go pick it up. Thank God for our friend Ann because Sue and I could have never done it by ourselves. The washer and dryer are like brand new. We are so happy to finally NOT have to get quarters to do our laundry. The thing has run non stop since yesterday. I think we might be in love....haha!! We also got a ladder from my dad when we were home last weekend. Ann also helped us take a ton of things up to the attic! Poor Ann, she always get recruited when we need help....lol
Today I spent at least 4 hours in my bedroom putting things away, rearranging and cleaning. We are still a little out of sorts from when we moved here. I feel like I finally made quite a bit of progress around here. I also went outside ad burned a ton of paper and boxes. Jadyn, Moma and Tyson ( the dog) ran around and played in the snow while I was burning boxes.
Although our house still looks like it is quite possible a tornado came through..... we are getting there. We are almost finally all settled in. It sucks moving so close to the holidays. We have had NO time to do anything. I am so glad things are finally looking good :-)

I can't believe people........

I posted on my blogs, craigslist and freecycle asking for measily one yard pieces of fabric to make blankets and quilts for needy sick children. NOT ONE person has stood up to donate 1 yard of child friendly fabric or ONE unused receiving blanket. Not ONE person........ that is sad...... seriously......

Wanted: one yard measurements of fabric

I am in need of one yard measurements of fabric. I need 100% cotton, flannelette, or cotton knits. I am in the process of making things for charities. I thought perhaps if you have any of these fabrics laying around unwanted I will be very very happy to take them.

I also will take any unused receiving blankets.

I am willing to pay the shipping.

Please pass it along!!!

Thanks!!!

I'm not done, I can't be, I am only 32

I keep have reoccurring dreams that I am either pregnant, breastfeeding or have a newborn baby. I have them ALL. THE. TIME. I wake up feeling all happy and fuzzy! Then reality hits. I don't have another. Don't get me wrong. I am so happy I have Jadyn. I am very very very thankful for her.
I NEED another one. I can't give up yet. I am not even at the age where I need to stop yet. I still have 10 years easily to keep trying. Maybe it is time to start trying again? I do KNOW I will not do injections or Invitro again. To expensive and time consuming. Not to mention STRESSFUL!
I am probably crazy to even consider trying again. What if I am wasting my time and money AGAIN? Do I really need the disappointment over and over and over again....again?? Was the psychic right that I would never physically carry my own child again? What if she was right? What if psychics are real? Time can change your future, right? Just because your future is headed one direction at any given time doesn't mean it can't change........right? right??
I must be stupid!

New Years Eve Party

Sue, Jadyn and I had a great time last night. We stayed home. Jadyn and I made chocolate covered strawberries. We also had crackers, cheese, tostitos, salsa and buffalo blue cheese dip. There were also chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter whoopie pies for the sweet tooth in us. Well, more Jadyn and I have the sweet tooth. Sue isn't so big on sweet stuff.

I rented ( pay-per-view) Kung Fu Panda for Jadyn to watch @ about 10:00 p.m. At about 11:30 we started watching the New Year's events on t.v. Jadyn made it until 12:00 to watch the ball drop. Sue served us wine ( sparkling white grape juice) and we brought in the New Year with a "Happy New Year", a cheers, and a kiss. It was rather kind of fun :-)
