WhooHoo!



Now the next thing I am going to blog about is completely a MOM thing and yep, I am gonna be a bragger for about 55 seconds! And I do know my son would probably NOT approve of me saying anything here, but phooey! I have decided that I put in about 26 years so far so I have a right to shout how proud we are of him. LOL

My oldest, John, is graduating Rosalind Franklin Medical School (a part of the Chicago Medical School) this June. He will then be coming BACK to our hometown in Rochester Minnesota as a Mayo Clinic resident in cardio-thorasic surgery. That means he got his first choice. And that means Mayo Clinic is getting a terrific, hard working resident! What it means for me personally is that my all-grown-up boy and his sweet, wonderful bride of 4 years plus --both seen above--are coming back to town!

So excited and so relieved. And so very proud of all his long, hard work. I know residents work even harder and he has some long days ahead of him. But I also know he can do it. Bravo!

Love you John!

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyar...

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have? Are you happy with your storage units? How do you plan on going about using it? Can you find a specific paper you need in less than 5 minutes? Choose containers and units that appeal to your sense of décor style AND your real storage needs. Don’t be fooled by cute shapes or new prints. No matter how cute, an acco...
