Happy Birthday to Me!
Okay...so I am a big baby! I didn't want to spend my birthday by myself, so I sort of threw myself a party. I invited my mom, Mary Ann and her boys, Mike and Nick, Shawn & Sadie & Harry, Scott's parents, and Scott's Grandma out to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and playing tonight. Scott isn't going to be home until after midnight...completely missing my birthday. Although I did spend a half hour with him last night from 12:30 - 1:00 before I went to sleep that was technically my birthday. Anyway...everyone met at Chuck E. Cheese for pizza and playing. People warned me about the pizza but I thought, who could screw up pizza...it was awful! AWFUL! But...we had a lot of fun playing and it was nice to see everyone.
The good news with Scott being gone so much lately is that I have completely caught up my scrapbook up until the last week of June. I only have our reunion pictures and then a few play date sort of things to do and my scrapbooking is done for now. (With the exception of the title pages which I have not figured out yet). And...I am back to sewing. I didn't want to announce I am making a quilt for Scott's grandma for Christmas because I am almost 100% sure I will not actually finish it our it will turn out horrible...but I just announced it. I think 20 12 inch squares should be enough...that would be 4 feet by 5 feet...for a lap quilt, but I'm not sure yet. They are not perfect, but I have six blocks completed as of tonight. I was going to do the same pattern over and over again, but it was so much fun making a new pattern (the second pattern I've ever made) that I wanted to make it more of a sampler quilt with 20 different patterns. I realize though that this will take me much longer because I have to cut different squares for each different pattern instead of being able to cut a ton of squares at one time. The good news is there are lots of block patterns online on my favorite site: www.quilterscache.com. Maybe I will post pictures of my squares...but they are by no means straight..but I am a beginner and have to start somewhere. I'm totally excited to make a quilt for Abbie and I to take to picnics and live music gigs and just to have for snacks in the park. We will see if I get done with Grandma's first.
My rac-e car cake.

Have you measured abby's head yet?
Ok, so I really think that protesting blogging is getting old. xxx -m
I'm not protesting...just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I'll think about it tomorrow! :) I do enjoy yours! Keep it going, maybe you will inspire me. I'm sure I've lost my whole audience though, being that it's been 2 months! Thanks for checking though!
