I have an addiction....

I have been so good at avoiding buying more fabric and more kits. I am good that way...and then one day the dam opens up and it's like I am buying stuff left and right. Such was the weekend for me!

It started with Friday's inspirations and that darn quilt kit in my Etsy store.

Usually they sit in my Etsy store and the desire for the quilt goes away....not this time!

And then V and Co. came out with another pre-order for this quilt....Walk in The Park, Ombre quilt

I had seen this earlier and by the time I had looked for it, she was all sold out of the quilt kits. So guess what I did this time...I ordered it before it sold out! Of course I did!

And then we went to a wedding this past weekend and of course I found quilt store and of course all I was going to do was to "LOOK" and of course this all just fell into my lap!

Quilting Therapy in Liberty, MO is wonderful quilt shop. They don't have much fabric but what they have is wonderful. I would say that most of the quilts they had displayed had a very modern twist to it. I had seen the Thrive panel online but it was the first time I had seen it in public.

I had seen some of the things people were making out of it when it the market. This quilt was one that Natallia and her mother Kathleen had designed.

But the one I really like the most were these placemats. There are 6 quote panels in all. I thought that the placemat pattern would be perfect for a smaller wall quilt.

The layer cake of Grunge Hits the Spot would be perfect for one of my Layer Cake Recipe Books:

Well there you have it. I went from July to December of last year and only bought one quilt kit! It is March and I have since added 4 more quilt kits!

It must be the fact that I sold 3 quilts on ETSY and now all that money is burning a hole in my pocket. Well until I get some quilts done...I am finished buying anything else.....

well so she says.....

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...

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...

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...
