UFO

What do quilters call unfinished quilts? UFO; Unfinished object. I had made this turning twenty years ago. I have never been a red fan, I made this for my son but he said it was too foo foo. So I put it in the bottom of a tub of fabric and forgot about it until I saw it while looking for a something. I never had it quilted until now and here it is. I am donating it to a conference I'm attending next month. I'm sure someone will love the quilt I made many years ago.

New pattern

I had recently been to a resell shop in Jefferson City. I found a table runner pattern there for .25 and bought it. I have made all kinds of holiday table runners, especially Halloween ones. My favorite holiday. I love Fall and am beyond ready for sweatshirt weather. This heat is awful and on Tuesday the heat index is supposed to be 111. Yuck!

Rain

We have had a lot of rain lately. The Missouri River has been very high and causing creeks to swell and come out of their banks. This morning started off sunny and in the low 70's but as the day heated up, so did the storms. Needless to say we have flood warnings out for my county and the surrounding area.

The weather forecast calls for rain every day this coming week. 

The sunflowers are all starting to bloom. 

Art in the Park

My husband and I went to Columbia, MO today to see what Art in the Park was all about. I loved it! I couldn't take photos of the photography booths but Wow! Some really amazing artists! We missed one row but it was getting so sticky. We have had so much rain lately and now the temperatures are in the 80's. Makes for really humid day! This is my first time to Art in the Park and I hope to go again! Some amazing art work!

Kids Fest 2015

Jefferson City had a Kids Festival today, lots of games, face painting, candy and even a petting zoo. My husband and I were lucky enough to spend time with our grandson. My sister and brother in law were there with their twin grand kids too.

Family vacation

My family decided to do a trip to Gulf Shores, AL Well, all but my daughter and grandson but everyone else went and we had such a wonderful time. We celebrated my sister's 50th birthday, my parents upcoming 55th wedding anniversary and my son's recent engagement to a great gal! The weather was wonderful and our week went way too fast. However, my husband and I were ready to return home to our dogs. I hope to go back in another 5 years and this time take my grandson as well.

We stayed at the Phoenix West

We spent a lot of time in the Lazy River.

We went deep sea fishing one day. 

This guy was waiting for fish to be cleaned.

And this creature! Someone put one of these in the lazy river. It tried to climb up my leg twice. They are called toe biters and you can tell by the ruler it is on, it is not small. My mom laughed as I screamed as it came after me again. Beware of these nasty bugs! 

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all the moms, a happy Mothers Day.
