Blog Backgrounds

My son was home this weekend and was helping me change my blog background.  Took a few trys but I finially got it figured out.  I will probably just stick with background changes for now.  Would love to take a class on this!

The Wool Room !

This is the wool/Lucas'/Guest room.  This was Lucas' childhood room , you can see the graduation photo collages.  It has evolved into the WOOL ROOM.  I enjoy collecting all colors of wool.   Lucas says everytime he comes home there is more!

The scraps!  My Aunt who is learning wool stitching loves to go through my scraps.

Finished a couple of projects

Happy Memorial day to all!  Instead of picnics and boating.  I am deep cleaning and finishing a lot of projects this weekend.   Always a good feeling to finish up things on my to do list!  Lot of comments on the square mat.  Pattern is from Primitive Gatherings,  I get a lot of patterns from there.

Wooling in Williamsburg

My best friend and wooling buddy Kim Benskin and I went on wooling run.  The Woolen Needle in Williamsburg, IA  We live about an 1 1/2 hours from here.  We try to make this trip as money allows!  This store was featured in the Quilt Sampler Fall/Winter 2010 edition. Can you EVER have enough wool.

Lucas' New apartment

My son has been living in a yucky basement in the TKE Fraternity for 2 years.  We helped him move 1 block to his first apartment.  He has 1 semester of college left and then will have a degree in business.  He will be getting married New Years Eve 2011.  His wife Allie will then join him there.  She has a year left to get a major in chemistry.  Allie has plans to get her Masters and maybe a Doctorate in Chemistry.  They are currently going to Truman State in MO.  Who knows where their lives will take them from here.
