Under construction...

Please be patient while I try to figure out the ins and outs
of the blogging world.  
I decided to give blogging a try since I have taken the plunge to get a website up and going.  
Our son, Spencer, is creating a website for my quilting business 
as a project for a college course he is taking.  
I look forward to sharing bits of my life, quilting and otherwise.

Time...
Where does it go?

Has it really been almost 18 months, make that 22 months, since my last post?!?!
Lots has been happening in our neck of the woods.

Everyone came for Christmas 2015


March 8, 2015
Daughter Amanda turned 16 and is now driving.


Youngest son Spencer gets engaged to Awesome Alli.

 

March/April
A spot is found while doing routine mammogram, yikes!
Surgical biopsy done, yep, cancer. What, me?

Grand baby #5, Boston Chandler Hair was born April 5, 2015


May 1, 2015
Spence and Al get married, they now become SAL.




Lumpectomy followed by 30 radiation treatments.

I decided to add a computer to my machine for edge to edge work.
It has been wonderful to have a quilt going and be able to do some sewing at the same time.


Spence and Alli spend the summer in NYC with internships 
at the same company and we went for a visit.


Piper joins the family.
We got very lucky when we rescued this sweet 
4 year old Yorkie from a local shelter.


Thanksgiving at Tyler and Rachel's, we find out that they will be 
adding another boy to their bunch in April!
We took Piper and she was Austin's constant companion.



 Blake loves Lincoln Logs.


 Lots of help in the kitchen!


 Hazel and Cody having fun on the swings.




My sweet mother-in-law passed away December 14, 2015.  We had a graveside service for her in Utah and spent Christmas with Chandler, Devrey and Boston.


Richard, Amanda and I traveled to Orlando in February to meet up
with Chandler, Devrey and Boston.
We found out that Devrey won't be going on many rides, they're expecting baby #2.
Boston will be getting a sister in September.



Tyler and Rachel welcomed
Drew Anders on May 13th, 2016.
He weighed 8lbs 9oz.


  Hazel gets a brother!
Arlo Christopher was born on June 23, 2016
and weighed 9lbs 4oz!


I took the plunge and purchased a second machine.  A 2016 Millennium!
I have the best customers who trust me with their treasures.


Wow!  That's quite the recap of my life the last 22 months.
I have so much to be thankful for, my family is at the top of that list!
