A Box Of Chocolates!

I just told my sister Lori that life is like a box of chocolates! You just never know what you are going to get! I heard that somewhere?..humm ....where?....humm?.......
We had a great 2nd week at Olde Glory Quilt Shoppe! What can I say but that God is blessing! We have had over 75 folks come to the shop plus a few "kids" have popped in too. Thank you so much if you are reading this and you have come in to see us!! You are making us feel so much "at home" already. A few brave souls have signed up for classes too...I say brave because Lori and I do not want you to think we are these great, so talented, always have what it takes to teach quilt people! haha! We are not! We are just going to share what we know, what we have done and of course what we don't' know too! We are wanting to learn from you! in every case! always learning! that is a quilters' successful k ey! or needle?..hummmm...
Ok, so I have been in the car too much lately or is it that air mattress at the shop..humm? probably both! No, really Lori lets me sack out at her place when my hubby is at work all night..that is so good of her..THANK YOU LORI!!!...
So, as you can imagine, we are busy preparing for the coming week..I am back in northern Indiana and yes, it is snowing..argh! .. but I am encouraging my wonderful daughter-in-law (she is not paying me to add that!) to help me with quilting today and also start helping me with longarming. I love to do both but I can't do both at the same time!..
Lori is cleaning out a storage unit for the school system and organizing OLD paperwork..she is having fun?...maybe not fun but she is thinking it is so cool to see the Old stuff! We get so excited ! ha
Oh, I wanted to know too if you are you a quilter that actually cooks or cleans? Just thought I would ask...I am blessed with the fact that I stood on chairs and cooked with my Mom from a very young age and helped prepare BIG meals twice a day for our ravenous family! so, I can cook, but the cleaning part...yep, gotta do that too....necessary evil?
Lori and I came up with a cute saying for our "threads" that accumulate...."sawdust"..our "sewing sawdust".....since GW and I have been building our cabin and now finishing it for over 4 years, sawdust or drywall dust is part of my genetic code I am sure! Clogging the veins?
Ok!, gotta put my silly thoughts away for now and get busy busy busy!!!


Quilted Blessings, as always...kari
