Piecing it all together...

My newest little gb is now 2 months old...

Man! Time flies when you are having fun!

(he's frowning cause he wanted to come

go to the ranch with us this weekend...)

This weekend is our finishing touches 

on our kitchen counter tops!

 My sweet man is bound and determined

to get them finished and have my sink in

by the end of the long holiday weekend!

 Bless his heart, the first laminate he 

bought broke on him while

he was unloading it from the truck...

Needless to say,

He was DONE

at that point. 

But as you  can see, his second

attempt was successful and our

little island now has a top!

It's my job to finish up the edges...

Rhut Rho....

not sure he knows what he's asking...

On to other news...

I have been busy making

blocks for my swap partners...

Here is one that I made for Ann.

It's a paper pieced block.

 I am a little dyslexic, so I have

to sometimes do weird things

so I can picture what patterns

are telling me to do.

So I just colored one of my paper

pieces so I could see where 

this was going...

 I am not gonna lie...

this was a little mind-bending 

especially since I had never 

made one before!

But in the end, it

all worked out!

Can I get an

AMEN 

up in here????

I learned a lot about 

paper piecing...

#1

Don't USE COPIER PAPER!

It's too hard to remove when

you are done!

It was a lot of fun and it taught me 

a lot...and I am ready for my next

paper piecing...

Sew...what do you use

when you paper piece?

I don't want to make the 

same mistake twice!!!!
