Well a lot has happen since last Monday and it looks like a lot will before next Monday. But before I jump ahead of myself I should stay focus here. You'll see I have a busy week ahead of me and that is all I can think of right now. So this past week has been a good one, after 3 week in the NICU Ben got to go home  Now him and brother Blake are back together. Sorry about all the Grandma pictures but I can't help myself. I'll try not to be one of those over zealous new Grandma. (Not working  is it) Now back to what's up, I'm working on a couple of projects but neither one of them are sewing. I have a  crochet and knitting project to get done this week 1. Is a birthday present for my oldest daughter, ( yes oldest ) It's a little purse pattern I found at Melinda's at  Mocrochet I'm half way done 2. Is knitting hats for the babies, so their mommy can get a picture of them wearing them. I found this pattern on  raverly Thi

Today, the 2nd Saturday of the month is  Quilt Times  QAL I wasn't able to start this morning with everyone else. First I had to go pick green beans that are out in the garden, doing very nicely this year. Nothing like what I had to go through last year. I posted about the groundhog that was eating my garden last year  here this years green beans Then I worked the Quilt Show in Tulsa. So here are a few pictures I want to share So when I finally was able to sit down and sew, I just did one block. I wanted to see what it would look like. After seeing what the others had accomplished I had to get at least one done. This is it.  But After I made it I thought what would it look like if I turned the four patch. So here is the same block but with the four patch laying on top of it but turned. Which way do you like? I need input!  I can not decide which direction I like the best. Thank you Kat Don't pass up the chance to win the

This weekend is the Tulsa Quilt Show and I helped my friend Pam at her booth. I have so much fun I can not really say it's work even thou you are on your feet for 7 hours, no time for lunch and have to be mentally alert (now that's work & sometime a challenge). But usually at the end of the show you have time to see the quilts and check out the other vendors. I have so much and so many projects to do that I try to find the unusual. and this time I did. The most beautiful crafted woodwork. I love wood and  this man had items made from  commonly seen wood but also had pieces from rarely used and unusual wood. This is what I came home with. Shaker style basket    Two shaker boxes and a seam ripper When not being used the point is inside the handle This is with cutter out, the handle is butter in my hand. Had a large selection. Wish list item He also had other beautifully crafted bowls and plates. If you are going

 I have a daughter who likes Hello Kitty, just proves girls of all ages like this character. So when I came across Melinda at  MoCrochet   blog  and that she had this pattern for free , I decided that I just had to make this for her birthday next week. This is what I have done so far, took maybe a little over an hour. I have to make another one just like this one. Is still going on, deadline is June 11. Enter  HERE .  A picture for you chicken lover, one of "my girls" I can't say it's one of her best looks, if you know what I mean. Till next time Kat =^..^=

I can't believe that I would forget my blogs anniversary, it was last Thursday May 31.  WOW  1   Year This has been a fun journey in my life and I have learned so much. You see, older "Kats" can learn new tricks. One of the main thing I learned is that there are so many friendly and nice people out there in  blog-land. Yes,   that means   you You all have given me so much by way of taking your time to visit my blog and leaving so many comments. I love hearing what you have to say and a lot of times it gives me encouragement to continue and finding new things to share. So I want to give something back to you all and it will be very simply.  I was thinking how I could express my Thanks and I realized that I have so many interests that I post about that some of you are interested in only one part of what I share. Whether it's gardening, the farm life, chickens, quilting, knitting, cooking or just a little bit of this or that, and I could not jus
