September 9,2014

one year shes been gone! I am doing much better these days and think of mom often so many wonderful friends and quilty friends who have helped me thru this tough time in my life. I feel like I owe so many people hugs and more!

Putting my quilt in the fair and getting Best of Show was the best ever!!! it is one of the best things to happen since mom past away! I think that honored her in many ways she taught me well and she was so very proud of my quilting and sewing and my talents. all she taught me!

I plan on making a memory quilt for my kids  so they have a great quilt next to them that they can cuddle up in and feel her close.

So with knowing she is at peace and is out of pain it is time to move forward and post something Happy


soooooooooooooo new topic!

 I am thinking of getting a grant to get me a digital long arm so i can make a go at a home sewing business that is more serious and so i can turn out quilts faster to my customers.... I am also getting my patterns ready to put in shops and I am still writing my sewing book> I am hoping it will be a great success as well.

My husband and I really need to have something to bring in a income as he is getting to where cars are just not his job so much anymore its tearing up his body and this is something we both enjoy! who knows this may be our retirement that we enjoy together!!! so here we go onto a new adventure together! praying that this is a path we can make a go at
 

We are even thinking of selling machine quilting threads as well........ thoughts ideas??/

see you in heaven....

Today I am doing much better learning to cope and learning to listen to her whispers in my dreams she is still here by my side. I think this last year has been a time for grieving and growing. I have learned many things from my mothers death and i have learned how to keep her alive every day in my life and my childrens life.
I will see her again i do believe that i will......
See you Heaven mom i hope you fathers day is a great one as you spend it with your father for the first time in 63 years tell grandma and him hello from us all!

I think of ways i can help my kids cope with  her being gone and fishing is one way we cope as we feel close to her fishing. We always say this one is for you grandma and we throw her in. usually i catch a fish every time! as mom usually out fished us all!.

I have learned why my mom did things and certain things are so much more clear now. wow
