Friday Fun


Anxiety GirlI saw this online the other day … and I have to say, it definitely describes me to a “T”. 

The summer swim season drew to a close last night … and what a night it was!  First of all, the weather was ideal.  And secondly, my Ts did a fabulous job!  T#1 finished first in his individual medley and his breast stroke – in dramatic come-from-behind finishes… and came in a close second in the butterfly.  Their team finished with a 6-2 record.  The conference competition will be a week from tomorrow … T#1 will definitely make conference, and T#2 is on the cusp … T#3 won’t because the conference competition is open only to 8+ year olds. 

Papa and I left the meet a little early to bring T#4 home for the evening … she spent the night here because she’ll be here all day today while the rest of the family is going to Six Flag with friends.

I finished the quilting on T#4’s quilt yesterday afternoon.  All I need to do now is to cut the binding strips and then stitch it on.  I’ll have to wait until Saturday to do that … and then it will be time to start piecing my storm at sea quilt. 


If you recall, I’ll be making in blue and white … just like the drawing above.  I can’t wait to start piecing.

Have a fabulous Friday!

  4. Hi Kathy, I think there are parts of my personality that this sign describes as well. I know you'll have fun today with your grand. Hope you get lots of stitching done!
    We are going camping(I wish we had an RV), but my back hurts this morning and we had high winds last night-so hope we don't blow away.
    Have a great weekend my friend.
    Hugs, Noreen

  8. If DH saw that sign he would probably have a T-shirt of it made for me!
    I have a blue & white storm at sea quilt made for me by my Mom before the days of rotary cutting. She still remembers how tedious it was to cut all that with cardboard templates she had made. But it is a beauty. I love blue/white quilts (even more than red/white).

  9. I love anxiety girl!! I was reading your post when my husband walked in and he said, " Hey I know that girl, that is you." So two peas in a pod I think. :) So today you are having a nice day with your baby huh? Aren't they sweet to have around.
    I bet you have fun with a new quilt I always enjoy starting new projects. My DIL has started quilting and I got to see her how much she got done today. I am so tickled. Hers is blue and white too.
    It sounds like you have a nice weekend planned.
    Have fun.

  12. Know you are proud of the grands. Nothing more fun than cheering for them....whatever they are participating in. We are still getting tons of rain which is keeping it a little cooler here...which I am grateful for. It's been in the high 80's...quite a change from the 100+ degrees we usually have in July!
