Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I believe we can be in love with inanimate objects like our cars or our sewing machine or maybe a piece of art work. Right now I am in love with my new laptop . It is so sleek and shiny. Has that "new look" to it. You know like that new car smell that so many love. And speed, oh my I'm so not use to it. But it is wonderful and I will easily become accustom to it. My old one served me well for many years but as we say here on the farm, it's time to put it out to pasture To do this post has taken at least half the time as the old. So in love, hope the "the man of the place" doesn't get jealous. Till next time Kat =^..^=

I was the other day blog hopping on my own and came across a new blog good cheap eats  .She must of been  having the same brain waves I was having the other day and thought the same thing. You see I was suppose to get that new fridge the other day, (did not come in yet), so I had been thinking for the past couple of weeks how I need to empty out the old for the new. I was also thinking I should stretch it out to  include also the freezer(s) in the garage. Then I came across the pantry challenge . So why not take a challenge where I can eat from my pantry, clean out and organize the freezers and also my mess in the pantry. You see how do I know what I have until I get in there and see but right now I have to dig. You need to see what I'm dealing with and I feel like I'm about to show you my private undie drawer or something. Nobody looks in these spots but "the man of the place" and I.  Deep breathe, OK,  here goes;  Old freezer.   Old fridge

My daughter found out yesterday what she is going to have, and it's not one of each Boy/Girl but BOY! OH BOY! Bless her heart she is going to have two little guys and boy will she have her hands full. One thing about about most boys, they look after their Moms. I think it's that protector mode they have. I can't wait, I had 3 girls myself so this will be all new for me too. Now I'm on the look out for boy related things to make. Any ideas, I would love to hear them.

I finished the first 6 blocks for Take 2  free bi-monthly BOM given by Gay at Sentimental Stitches and Brenda at Dear Jane. Gay does her patterns on the 1st and Brenda will do hers on the 15th.  This is the first set given and they went together like a piece of cake. There are 6 blocks of various sizes.  And yes they are Blue and White. So far so good, I am keeping up and a little ahead of schedule, my goal is to not get behind.  Update on the "girls" they gave me 6 eggs today. If you have chickens too, do you keep records of your egg production. I haven't or even thought about because I keep chickens for pleasure not profit so I had never consider doing so. But after reading The Hen Blog the other day Terry, she  was talking about keeping records and this cool old form she had. She is making it available to us on her blog. Here is the link  to download a copy of your own. So now I'm keeping track. I am going to have plenty of eg

I am trying to find a new look and with this old laptop it takes forever for things to download. I can only handle a couple of hours of this till I'm ready to scream and pull my hair out. I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry for the messy look Till tomorrow Kat =^..^=

So I wanted to show what I have been working on and is up on my wall. The picture is lousy, lighting is bad and I have no flash. That is next on my wish list, new camera. (with flash and other bells and whistles) Here is it I had to start Take 2 even if I was working on this I have it all printed off, fabric picked. I'm going with blue print and Kona white. I was hoping to get more gone but "the man of the place" is home and needed help loading up some wood up on the back porch. Well I did something to my back and I was not good for half the day. There is tomorrow. That's after I clean out my frig cause I'm getting a new one delivered tomorrow but than I can busy. I was not able to do the stash report last year for 2 reasons, first I had started my bog till the end of May and second I did not know about it until just a few months ago. But I am going to do it this year. I'm not going to figure out what I have already, I'

I love new beginnings and that is how I have always looked at the new year. Technically it's just another day if it wasn't for the calendar but I still like the idea of a fresh start. Now I don't make resolutions but I make what I like to call "goals" for the year. Now I will share a few of my goals but it will be ones dealing with what I write about here and none of those usual personal ones. No need to bore you. But I do want to share the few I have planned for here. One of goals is to be more focused and work more on my writing skills. English was not my best subjects in school and as a child I had speech issues so communicating both in speech and writing is a consent challenge. And writing for this blog is a good way to work on it. There is a program I plan on getting that will help me, will see. Another goal is to get one more step closer to having my quilting room organize and to have at least a dozen UFOs completed, no matter what it take.
