Look what I have been up to....

No, we have not fallen off the face of the planet!! Things have just been crazy busy around here!! Gunner is jsut finishing up baseball (2 more weeks) and Drake is just getting started. Gunner plays games 3 nights a week (weather permitting) and so far we have had 2 tournaments for Drake (plus one this weekend and then next weekend), he will start league games the week before Memorial Day, I think...Crazy Times!!

In between baseball games/tournaments and practice I have been working on some quilts (2 of which have to be COMPLETELY!! done by May 14th!)(Sorry for picture quality, these were taken on my cell phone)

The first one is a red/white/blue Warrior color one with baseballs. I sure wish this one was completely done. High school baseball in the spring is really, really cold some nights!! Ironically I had made 2 like this last year, but ended up donating them both and so I had none!!

This pink and brown was made with Jelly Rolls, that is my new obsession. It used to be fat quarters, but now it is Jelly Rolls. Have no particular usage in mind for this one, but Missy if you are interested, you jsut need to buy the backing and the batting, I can get you the measurements! Although, if I knew someone having a baby girl, it could be a baby gift..or it can sit with the rest of the quilt tops I have done!!

This one is for a wedding gift, I have actually been working on 2 pictures quilts for 2 weddings (same day, can you believe my luck!) I am pleased with how this turned out, like the black and white, I just hope the recipients like it as well!

This is the other wedding gift/picture quilt also needed for the 15th........
Oh darn, for some reason I can't get my picture to turn out :) I guess the mother of the groom will just have to be patient and wait to see the finished product. I do really like though the pink and the lavender in it, really sets off the colors in the pictures (especially the hunting ones!!).......... I will post a pic of it after the wedding though. I worked too hard and am too proud of it not to show it off!

Finally, we have a new addition to our family.......for those who don't know, Gunner is in FFA, for his project in Ag/FFA he decided he needed a pig, sooo, here is a picture of Chewy Jr....ain't she cute (she will look much cuter on someone's dinner table!). Gunner plans on raising her and showing her at the Linn County Fair in July. SOo if any one has any extra money, Chewy WILL be auctioned off at the Fair (Yes, I have no problem with that!!))....

That's about all I know for now, will try to post more often, or as time allows, better get ready to go pick up Drake from practice.........until next time!
