What happened to November?

Wow so much has happened this month! Where do I start?

Well first of all the Royals won the World Series!

During the final game I got my knitting out to ease my nerves. At the 7th inning this happened....so I started another hat!

It was a marvelous series! And then there was a parade like no other!

We did not go... look at all of those people!! Imagine trying to find a bathroom... nope watching from afar was good enough for me!

I extended my cancer hat knitting to November. I ended up with 7 hats, 3 went to a good friend, 2 others went to friends who wanted them for their friends and another went to a breast cancer survivor. I have 2 left that I will donate. This was so much fun and I was so happy to help others out.

I am averaging about 2 baby quilts a month so that has kept me busy. This month there were a few more than usual..

I made this for one of my good friend's daughter who is also a good friend of daughter #1. Isn't he just the cutest?

These last two were custom orders...

And this one is another custom order for daughter #1. My kids are my number one customers!

I received a wonderful 4-H Volunteer award at our County Achievement meeting. My friend and I received an award for our work with the SPIN Sewing Club. It was so nice and meant so much to me!

Speaking of the 4-H Sewing Spin club, we meant again this month and made these wonderful Carrier bags thanks to a fabric donation from a good friend. These kids make me so happy!

And then last night my little neighbor girl asked me to come to her Girl Scout meeting where to be on a panel of women role models! I was so honored she selected me!

So to celebrate, I took her out for dinner and we had dessert of course!

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Let's start again....

WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't. I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up. Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post. Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?" Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels?? That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats". What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again. I am real...

July Happenings...

Since these are catch up posts for the month of July, here are the other happenings.... What do you do with all of those flowers left over from a wedding? You decorate your house with them! Hubby had a birthday... And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence. Someone loved moving the bed up and down. Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery. The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting... We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday... And since it is July, it is peach jam time! We got our bikes out for the first t...
