Fall

Except for the wonderful warmth of summer? Fall is my favorite time of year. Actually around October 1st until January 2nd. It's my favorite. I love to decorate. I love to sew. I love to craft and create. I love sending Christmas cards and receiving "real" mail everyday with some other family smiling from their Christmas card.
Right now I have been building Halloween table runners. Every time I go to the fabric store, which is too terribly often (I think it's where my paycheck goes after soccer) I find a few new Halloween fabrics and have to build another table runner. I think I have made 10 or so now.

This one I sent to my sister and Dusty. They truly only take 10 minutes and I just need to move on to the next holiday.
I am also working on another quilt. I just finished the "pink one" that Haley requested. I also found the cutest Christmas card holder, but I think I need to ask mom for help in making it. I will let you know how it turns out.
I am off to finish the squares that I am currently working on. It's a surprise, so I hope that it's a good one. I will post it after I have made the surprise!

the last 2 weeks...

What a crazy two weeks! For someone who only works 3.5 hours each day I am never home. Never! For the last 2 weeks I have been taking a class on our school citizenship program. I have had physical therapy on my shoulder twice a week. The Thursdays? Leave home at 8:30 and get home at 6:15. I only work for 3.5 hours. But I was at school for over 7. Hmmm definitely doing something wrong here.

So, Friday was my home day. My day to actually get Jack off the bus day. My cook dinner at home day. My hang out day. I needed that, cuz today? we left at 8:30 and got home at 5:30. Two sets of soccer pix and a soccer game in Tacoma, (That they lost.) and late lunch afterwards. Pick up Konley from a friends and wait up til 12:30 for him to come home from his paintballing party. Can't let him spend the night cuz he has a soccer game tomorrow.

I never realized what a crazy life this would be. I don't regret it at all. I just really wish that there were more hours in every day!
