Tuesday

Finished up my Celtic quilt top yesterday, of course still need to quilt it but for now it is stuck to the wall in my room! I really enjoyed this class, I learned a new method of pinning and also a new way to finish off thread when you are doing the quilting ( same as you do when hand quilting) I think that I will be making more of these, mainly as wall quilts as they look good hanging.

The ladies and I are finishing up our fabric postcards tomorrow including French onion soup and dessert. Girls have to eat, might as well be good food!

Weekend

<-- Our friends new puppy, Hoover!

Busy busy weekend! I and the girl child ( she is now 10) went to DM, Thalia and the pet store on Landstrasse. Then when we got home from that I and the hubby went and bought all the food at Spar ( well felt that way ) and then had to lug it all home. Saturday night food was home made pizza and I made a two layer Carrot cake for the girl childs birthday. Sunday was random, the boy child had a friend over to stay Saturday night so we had to feed them breakfast and can two teenage boys EAT! The girl child had a birthday party to go to out by IKEA north and we stopped and visited our friends and their new puppy. Still not sure what I like best puppy or kitty, maybe that is why I have one of each! We made a birthday dinner and had cake and open presents and then made cookies for the birthday girl to take to school today. I was wiped by Sunday night!

This is one of the quilting projects that I have been working on. This fabric is from a challenge that I bought but didn't do, I have since figure out that I don't do challenges well.

In other parts of my life I have been busy keeping busy. With the kids, the dog and the cat plus social activities with friends I manage to fill most of my days.

I am really enjoying my quilting class and will post photos when done

Fridays

Another exciting installation!

Normally on Fridays here in Vienna I am looking forward to the weekend. Eric is always home on the weekends and we do exciting things like make breakfast and go shopping. This weekend we are thinking of taking a drive up into the mountains so he can play more with his new camera.

Fridays also means that I do laundry, as the machines here in Europe are smaller and they can take FOREVER to get a load done! I miss my US machines.

Angel the cat has reverted to PreBob status. Meaning that she is pushy and demanding. Ah the life of MY cat!

Yeah I know I haven't been posting much but really have not been doing anything to interesting. Dealing with kids, hubby and pets takes most of my day.

Next week I am being brave and taking a Quilting class at the local quilt shop. The instructor does speak English so I hope it will work out. I just need to go and buy fabric.

Hubby has bought a new camera and so the photo quality here should go up as I'll be using his photos. I tend to use the point and shoot camera and my hand always moves!
