Last summer my husband, Tim, and I went on a dream trip out west. We visited Mount Rushmore, Craters of the Moon, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Little Big Horn Battlefield, and The Badlands. It was an amazing trip. Here are a few pics from the trip.

This is my first blog post from my ipad and I hope that it turns out well! I have been so busy with life and work that I haven't posted since January. I am still doing some stitching but not as much as I used to. I divide my time between cross stitching and quilting/sewing. Since my last post, I, also have a new granddaughter. I now have two grandsons and two granddaughters. Our family keeps on growing.

Quilting

In 2013, I began my love affair with quilting. Even though it has been only a year, my quilting romance has produced some beautiful items. Though they have many flaws, I continue to make improvement in my quilting. My husband bought me a new singer quilting machine for Christmas and this should make my quilting easier. My other machine is dying and was not a heavy duty machine.

A New Year!

I did not post at all in 2013! So this year, I will try to be more responsible in my blog posts. 2013 was an amazing year. My husband and I had a super vacation that included Niagara Falls, Upstate New York, Vermont, and Maine. We ended the summer with four nights in Key Largo.Aiden went on his first fishing trip in Key Largo and he started kindergarten this year! I have a new grandson, Cutter, that was born October 23. He is gorgeous! And I discovered the joys of quilting! I have not cross stiched since I started quilting. This year I completed a king size quilt, three full size quilts, and four baby quilts! I am currently working on quilts for my two daughters. I hope everyone has a super 2014!
