Weekend Inspiration

Well this week's inspiration has nothing to do with sewing but more about my alma mater and their run in March Madness!












This is just so sweet!  This place is my hometown, this is where I grew up, where I went to college, where I met my hubby.  And where we returned for our careers and to raise a family.  It is also where all four of my children have graduated.  So for me this place is more that sports, it is HOME and for all the kids who are going to the ELITE 8, I hope that later in life they can look at K-State with as much pride as I do...today and every day!


GO STATE...regardless of what happens, the coach and these kids have made us all 
K-STATE PROUD!!

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...

Updated Porch

So creativity for me isn't always about fiber, it applies to just about every aspect of my life.  My latest adventure has to do with my front porch. There have been many memories made on this front porch. My bench has captured many "first day" of school photos, family gatherings and all sorts of milestones such as first communions, proms etc.  maybe that's why it's been so hard to make changes.  The memories aren't going away and there are lots of new memories to make.    But I digress... The front porch.   This front porch has had these barrels for as long as I can remember. They've been a focal point.  Know what happens to a barel that's been around for that long? Yup... The bottom falls out!!   It was definitely time!! The bench stays, I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to that one yet.  Here's to many more photos and memories on this front porch!!

And the UFO for May Is....

I've been a little busy so there are lots of things for me to catch up on.  First of all I did not get much done on the UFO Challenge for April.  I did get some baby booties done and delivered.  I do hope that the moms will send me pictures of their little ones with cute little feet. As far as quilting is concerned.. not much got accomplished in April, maybe May will be more productive. The UFO for May is..... And according to my lists this is what I have scheduled..... The good news is that I started my LOVE quilt in March when I was on the quilt retreat.  The LOVE blocks are all done.  I have a few more small squares to cut up but then I should be able start sewing on it again.  Knitting is always difficult.  I should of worked on the cowl while I was on a conference last week but I needed to get some booties done for some upcoming new mamas. Because of this week long conference,  I have had a chance to get lots of knittin...
