I have a similar program but not as big as her's and boy can it do a lot of great, neat, wow, things with you photos...anyhow had to play somewhat, with it today and whew, need to go and watch some of the video tutorials on the program...basis stuff for now....lol...I also finished another bag...lol and also made a cute little baggy thingy but small, was supposed to be a little bigger but, oh well, will find use or someone to give to...LOL... here's some pics and (shhhh) I've found another bag to make tomorrow...LOL....how many, hum, not sure, they might be gifts or maybe keep one or LOL..... ciao, bonsoir, good night and have fun...

I may add a few little touches of my own, ummm will evaluate what I need on it, in it LOL...Now just finished cutting another one. Not sure who will get this, but need to make more hehe also made a few identifier tags cool... All in all, today for me was great... went again for a nice brisk walk with Denise, we started in the millennium trail and had to leave it and walk around town, the horse flies were really bad and few mosquitoes were having supper......but was great re-energizer. thanks again D..... Also for the tribute plane, I'm still working on getting the whole scoop on this, might be next week before I blog it's history, but I will do it for sure.....My big WOOHOO ,,,exited, and now, just have to wait a bit (oh, need patience)hehe, I ordered a Nikon D40 Kit (SLR) using my airmiles (camera) will take great pic.....For now Ciao, Adios, Good Night, Bons soir mes amis..........

Fireworks

Ok, we weren't going to go there LOL as if...My daughter called last night and asked if we were going to the fireworks for Canada Day.. I said well,,,,, not sure...she asked us to pick her and the boys up so we could all go see this.. Of course I'm a softy right,,,yep we went to the fireworks...they didn't start til 11:05pm, as I said before, the sun doesn't quite go down early here and dusk is well,,,,ummm light dusk. When they did start, we just laughed so hard at the little guy and also the other DJ...Chase kept saying "OH PRETTY BUBBLES" he then tried to blow on them, and pointing his little finger and tried to pop them he'd say.. DJ was just in awe, and kept saying wow, great fireworks....sooo I'm sure happy we went, we enjoyed more watching the kids than watching the works......Today I did some weeding in the front flower beds and then went for a nice long walk with Denise..wheew, that was good and felt great, thanks Denise... Also went down and did more of this Chelsea Tote from http://www.kayewoodtv.com/ktv.html (on the right hand lower side click on bar that says " video list" scroll down to Chelsea tote...very cute) I should have this finished tomorrow then I can take pics and maybe select great fabric to make a few more LOL (once I know what I'm doing hehe)........so here's some pictures and happy quilting to Ya All EH!.....PS: I will put a little something together regarding the plane in the next few days... I want to get all the info I can, this is really interesting history .....

DJ and Chase watched movie "Chicken Little"waiting in the truck for fireworks,,,Papa and Chase

WHEEW

All right, this was to be a day off...hehe NOT... has that ever happened LOL YUP always, ran around cleaning up, the boys weren't here today, got a call from real estate, will be showing again tomorrow.... humm I wonder if the people coming for the last 2 weeks have been only window shoppers or curious georges...(I know too many people in this town and thinking that some may be nosey)...Was way to hot to go out and do some weeding today, wanted to do that now...but.....then I decided to check out some other bloggers, on quilting bloggers (see side bar, and check it out , very cool blogs)I came across this : http://www.kayewoodtv.com/ under Chelsea tote I got inspired and voila, their I was,,,, cutting fabric and running to the store , picked up a 22" zipper to match and I'm off to the races, so I thought HEHE...I was just starting to sew when daughter called from her cell in a panic, her regular phone croaked....soooo the good mother I am,,,ran to Wal Mart to purchase a cordless phone as she is a single mom and the boys are in bed,,,well so the story goes....Came home and here I am.....I will work on it tomorrow in between kids and showing the house LOL Therefore for now I'll go sort my stuff out to start again sewing and will be back tomorrow,,PS: HAPPY CANADA DAY in advance (july 1st) will take pics.....Bonsoirs mes amies a demain......Ciao......Ta Ta, Nite to all.......

Sale

Ok, so who said yard sale was easy???? I was working on this for weeks, getting stuff sorted, priced etc.... Sale ummm, boy everything went fast, maybe under priced not sure but needed to downsize to relocate ourselves and the way gas prices are, you guessed it, it's cheaper this way and purchase new furnishing once we get their...Does that make sense...Sure she said ...HEHE... Of course it sounded good (amount made on this) lots of work involved...so next time someone asks if I want to make one... I think, I'll just donate it to a good cause and skip the sale...hEHE... Today was a nice warm day, but very grey outside... so took the boys down to see the Tribute Plane re Lamb Air.... this plane was found in very bad shape. I'll try to get the whole story tomorrow, I know that quite a few Thompsonites got together, got the blueprints for this plane and restored it ,,, it took a few years to do this and its' quite the site to see it up on pedestal that is really cool way of displaying it... ( it actually has all motor etc..) More info to come this week. I also made an awesome "carrot salad", very nummy, if your interested in the recipe it's simple and I can surely share it... Will make other types of salad for Canada Day July1st for celebration with family... sooooo,... will sign off Ciao, Bonsoir me amis, a demais.... Til tomorrow......Nite

UMMM carrot salad (marinated overnite)

OOPPPS

OOPPSS, sorry, didn't get a chance to blog yesterday, and today will be a short one. Have been getting ready for a yard sale and boy, do I have lots to downsize (good word eh).. I thinks after being married for 32 years (33 in Aug) we can splurge on ourselves. I don't remember when we actually bought new furnishing etc.... always either bought small (cheep, least expensive) to be able to give to the kids, well now it's our turn lol..... sooo no sewing yesterday but hoping by tomorrow night and the rest of week... They boys will be going to Day Care starting Monday and that will give us chance to do things we need to do before we go (moving to Ont, retiring) ...I'll keep updating blog and maybe tonight short one.......Have a Wonderful Friday and enjoy every minute of it...LOL

Way cool

Great day today, daughter called this am and said daycare called to say she's next (on a long waiting list) and boys can start on Monday...wow, what will I do with all that time for me...LOL..I can now be a grandma...heehee.. she's a single mom and Ive been helping and like someone once said, being "the other parent" for too many years ...Can't believe they're all growing up, even daughter hehe.... I worked on the borders on the topsy turvy quilt, finished, it's bigger than what I wanted to be but, oh well, someone will get . I need now to work on few smaller projects so I can pack more but keep me busy sewing.....Weather progressively got way better, sunny and very nice now this evening. Went for a good walk with Denise, was good to do that since we've been in house for few days , very wet ...lol PS son got hired on with Vale Inco. He's soooo excited and has been up too early every morning, he's been going for orientation this week. He's just antsy pantsy LOL....he goes to the job tomorrow....that's awesome... here's some pics and enjoying the rest of the sunny evening...Oh, did I say that here in the north (Thompson, Mb) the sun stays up quite late in the summer, on the longest day of summer which was June20th, you can sit outside and watch the sun go down around 10:50pm and back up around 4am....Evenings here in the summer time are awesome...I'll sure miss that moving from here...

HUM , guess what were doing?????......curly or what hehe
