Do the Math Thoughts and Things: Math was not one of my best subjects in school. After fractions I was lost...but I do know that 4 quarters make a whole.

With a total of 396 pieces cut, pinned and sewn together, this modern spin on a double wedding ring quilt is finally taking shape. Just 11 more "wholes" to make. It will be twin size.

Made using vintage reproduction scraps (know as 30's)and Kona Snow for the backgroung pieces.

The pattern is by Denyse Schmidt Quilts, called "Single Girl"

Words to live by Thoughts: After my grandma passed away, my dad found this small handwritten note used as a book mark in one of her books. I asked him if I could have it, and as fathers do, they give their children what they want. It is such a treasured keepsake for me. It reminds me of the person that my grandma was and how I need to be.

Good words to live by.

The Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.

Love isn't love 'till you give it away.

Happy Valentines Day from my house to yours!

Always a mother

Thoughts: Over the past week or so my mothering skills have taken a hit, actually, feels more like a blow.

In my attempt to show care, concern, love and helpfulness, it has translated into being intrusive, meddling, judgemental.

Raising adult children can be challenging... (note to self: You have already had your chance)

Two things I do know... 1.I will try harder to be a better mother 2.I will always be here for them, no matter what.

Motherhood hurts sometimes...really hurts.

Missing You...

Thoughts: I logged into my blog this morning.

I don't know what I was expecting to see.

Maybe hoping a little fairy had been updating it for me.

I miss this blog, sometimes.
