Mystery Solved

A few months back I had the

opportunity to attend a

"Mystery Quilt" retreat.

It was my first one but not the last

(I hope)

Anyway.....

The mystery has been solved!

Have a wonderful day

Happy Easter

HE HAS RISEN!

Great Minds Think A Like

Hello and good morning to you!

Do you remember when

I wrote about the

quilt that to someones eye

looked a little Christmas-sy?

 made from Bliss.

Well.....

Shortly after I wrote that little post.

I found myself with a bit of

 free time on my hands.

So, using my free time wisely (wink)

I did some blog visiting.

First stop Carol  and

since I had some free time (smile)

I started clicking on some

of the blogs she likes to read.

With one simple click I landed

on Maree's blog 

 Guess what I found.....

 some Christmas sweetness!

A little Bliss and Christmas......together!

 

Aren't they FANTASTIC!

Y'all I just had to giggle.....

I love that each of us can look at

something and see different possibilities!

If you have a bit of time

on your hands stop over

and visit Maree

I found myself right at home.

(FYI.....she was making some

choccie goodies yesterday. YUM!) 

She also has a sweet little

 on line store called Ollie and May.

Maree.....cute engineer.....

Great minds really

do think a like!

Have a wonderful day!

Change Your Day

Good morning all!

Yesterday was one of

THOSE

days where my heart and mind

were in a battle.

It came on the heels of a

very emotional anniversary of

my fathers death.

I was struggling with the

truth of my past

and the truth of what

God's Word says.

 I struggled

sometimes

hour by hour

and sometimes

minute by minute.

God's truth won!

I have this little plaque

in my kitchen and I would

walk in there and read it

over and over and over.
This verse helped me to
focus on the victory
Christ has over sin.
I would really like to encourage any
of you who might be struggling with something today
to let the Word
fill your heart with truth.

It will change your day!

~Nancy~

Look.....

Look,

at what we woke up to

this morning.....



Yep, that would be snow

and

Yep, it is April 18th

Oh well,

I have a ton of things

to get done inside today.
(insert sarcastic smile)

I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Toodles,

~Nancy~

Very Nice.....

Done!

I finished the binding!

I love to put on binding

I find it to be quite relaxing.

As I finished up

I showed the cute engineer.....

before I go any further let

me say this.....

you have truly received a heart felt
 compliment from the cute engineer

if these two words are used together

very and nice

This is how it went.....

me: I finished, what do you think?

cute engineer: That's a very nice...........

WAIT FOR IT.....

WAIT FOR IT.....

Christmas quilt.

me: Thank you

WAIT FOR IT.....

 WAIT FOR IT.....

me again: You really think it looks like a Christmas quilt?

which led to a whole different kind of conversation.

So, cute engineer.....if you are reading this today

I think you are very nice!!!!!

Love you lots

Hope you all are having a great day!

Squeal

Good Morning!

You all are so kind and cute.

It's another wonderfully cool morning

and the sun is shinning,

showing off a very lovely blue sky.

LOVE IT!

A few weeks back I entered

a giveaway from my friend Jilly

and to my surprise

 I was one of the winners.

Her blog is called Jilly's Happy Quilts

Jilly is so sweet and kind

and has a wonderful sense of humor.

If you have a minute stop and visit with her.

Well, yesterday (squeal) there was

a package in the mail

and it contained some very sweet fat quarters!

Thanks Jilly!!!!!!!

I love them.

Hmmmm....what should I make?

~Nancy~

Almost there...

Our spring here in SW MI has

been a little different this year.

This past Friday it was in the thirties

(COLD, COLD, COLD)

Saturday the temps bloomed

into the fifties

and yesterday the

temps skyrocketed into the eighties (smile)

All this to say that...

last night it was pretty warm and muggy.

Not a good combination for pleasant dreaming.

When I finally laid my head on the pillow

I had the fan going, all the covers kicked off

and I was still sweating.

This morning as I woke up I thought I was dreaming...

You see, as a kid I grew up in

the rocky mountain region of this beautiful country.

where summer mornings are usually on the cool side.

As I was still asleep in the early hours of the morning

the cute engineer (on his way to work)

opened the windows and let the cool

morning find its way in.

In that foggy wake up haze my

mind took me back to some of those

sweet cool mornings.

it was as if I was almost there....



I hope you have a terrific day!

~Nancy~

Gosh

Happy Friday!!!

Gosh, it's been a whole week

since I was last on here.

Can't believe it.

There just hasn't been

much to blog about.

Since I have been taking it "easy"

the house has suffered

 but

today Alecia came to the rescue.

Everyone should have an Alecia.

SHE IS AMAZING!

Alecia cleaned and cleaned and then cleaned some more

I can't tell you how thankful I am

to have a clean house!!!!!

I may have to talk to the cute engineer

and see if we can have her come back...sometime.

Remember this quilt

I got it back from the quilter today.

Since it is suppose to rain all week end

I know what I will be doing

...binding...

What are you plans for the week end?

~Nancy~

Thank You

You guys are the

GREATEST!!!

Thanks for all the sweet comments

and lovely e mails.

Each one touched my heart and made me smile

Thank You

Now, to answer a few questions...

My back is doing sooooo much better.

All tests came back with good news and

I will start physical therapy next week.

The tulips and daffodils from the

last few posts didn't come from my garden.

I found them at the grocery store.

I just thought they were so lovely

and they brought a little spring into our house!

My tulips and daffodils are starting to poke through

the ground..YAY! shouldn't be long before

the garden is blooming.

Yesterday, I did something I have never done

IN MY LIFE!!!!!

I went house hunting with Kate.

When did she grow up

and become a responsible adult

who can buy her own house?

WHEN?

I am so excited for her!

and so thankful she wants me to be apart of this journey.

and now,

a little more spring loveliness...

Have a sweet week end!
