Updates

Well this Thursday will be the last day of school. I realize my typing is poor because, I read real fast and I will type what I see when I look ahead. I need to slow down.

I am meeting my goal and I try not to look when I type. 

I am up to 38-45 if there isn't any numbers or symbols. 30-33 if there is,  I think that is pretty good.

Now for some fun stuff.  Here is a picture my youngest took of herself a couple of years ago and I did a "Andy Warhol" thing to them. They are going in to a photo album called "Girls on Film". ( I love Duran Duran)

Ain't she cute?

New Hope

I did well in school yesterday. I typed better. Let's try today.

The quick brown fox junps over the lazu dpg.

Not too bad 3 errors.

I will be doing some sewing after school today and I will post pictures then. Now if only I can figure out how to post from my phone.  I can post to my flickr account.

Mom and Frisky

 

 

This is a picture of my Mom and one of our cats Frisky.  She couldn't get out of bed without help. But he would carefully crawl up and move so she could put her arms over him and hold him.  He is such a big baby.

I sure do miss her.

Hope

Well school is almost done.  The end of the month is it.  I need to get my typing speed up.  I HATE to type!  I am not getting it fast enough. (I know it will but the child in me is impatient!  I WANT IT NOW!).

I will have to pratice more.

The quioc brown fox chaces the lazy fow.

(see I didn't fix the errors.  I will commit to posting this every day)

Wish me luck!

Accuquilt Baby Go! Give-Away!!

Surprise! A good thing happened white checking out other peoples sew in's Sunshowerquilts is having a give away.  Just wanted to let you too.  I would love to have one.  I have a studio and the little baby would be a bonus!

Friday Night Sew In

I finally was able to sew and to post.  Things are settling down a little bit. Here are pictures of the last Round Robin that I need to finish. I have decided to finish this before I sign up for any more. Here is the link to my Flickr pictures Photos.


Enjoy!

November 29

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I have been concentrating on schooling and a retreat with my quilting friends in between.

I have been learning more and more about "Word" program.  I am so glad I have the opportunity to learn what I will need to get a better job.

My typing is getting much better.  I started at 20 wpm and in 3 weeks I am now at 25 wpm. I just need to stop looking at the keyboard every now and then.

Now for the fun stuff.

Here are some of the pictures of things that were done at the coast:

My curtain climbers

Christmas Dotee

Lit'l sis Dotee

Paisley Dotee

Wild Dotee

Pinky Dotee

Sock Monkey Sweat Shop

Lorle's Table Runner

I made 5 little Christmas Tree Dottees that went to Finland.

My Girlfriend Suzanna made a basket of Sock monkeys. 

Lorle shared with us her table runner.  We love the block pattern.

Time to go back and concentrate on getting my life in control.

Don't feel guilty!

When I first started blogging, I thought I would be posting at least every other day.  As you can see, it has been 1 month since my last post.  

Life Happens!

Phone died and had to get a NON-touch screen phone.  It is hard for me to use.

But it is a phone and I can get in touch with people. It keeps me off the phone too.  It is a good thing.

Part time job, Body hurts and not that much time to sew, but I now realize that I can get retraining to work in an office from the state.  It is a good thing.

Daughters are not home as much, but I remember what I did when I was an only child and how to entertain myself.  It is a good thing.

Not as much income, I am learning how to appreciate what I have and not what I don't have and that I really don't need all the things I want.  It is a good thing.

I am not overly religious but I would like to thank God for giving me the hand and the brain to look for the ways to help myself.  

It is not other people’s job to take care of me.  It is my job to go out there and find the things that can help me help myself. Whether it is food stamps or financial aide. I tell others to go and do it when you need it.  That is why it is there.  Now to listen to my own help

Just remember:

"It"s a Good Thing!"
