Tah-dah!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Gather 'round and feast your eyes on the completed wedding afghan!

I got to gift this to my friend last weekend at her wedding. Then my family and I packed up the RV and headed out on our first vacation in almost 2 years. Read about our adventures out west here!

This is how we roll!

Ooops! Was I gone awhile?

 
Hi all! The wedding afghan lives! I have enough squares now to start joining. I used the flat braid join and found an excellent tutorial here.

Close-up of join:

Only 2 weeks of school left, as you can imagine life is running at a break neck pace. My oldest DD has survived her first year of college and is home for the summer AND gainfully employed at local restaurant! The oldest DS will being staying put in his college town for the summer and is also gainfully employed full-time for the summer. The 2 younger DS are eagerly awaiting summer break and will be starting tennis and basketball.

This teacher/mom can't wait for the break either!!!!

Have a superb Saturday!

Hello Saturday!

 

I am at an extremely busy time this weekend, so what do I do? BLOG. of course! My DH is out of town until this coming Friday, which for us is a lOOOOOng time. We are still each others BFF and if we can't see and talk with each other everyday, it is a burden!!! With who am I supposed to share the gory details of the Elementary school schedule meeting with?  Who is he supposed to share his frustrations with current United States leadership with? * Sigh* Oh well, on top of it all it is my 3rd son's 11th birthday.  I have to handle 7, 11 year old boys today bowling, laser-tagging, and mini-golfing for 2 hours! What was I thinking when I agreed to having more kids?????? Anyway, we should have a fabulous time, I handle 26 5th graders at any given moment, but it is always different when it is your own, isn't it?

I have finally decide on a complimentary square to join my Wedding square. I am just going to do a traditional granny-type square. I did not use a pattern from book, but just remembered some random pattern that I must have done in years past.
