Catching Up

It has been ages since I've posted a blog, but that does not mean that I have been totally ignoring it. I have learned in the past several months that the world of blogs is absolutely immense, and there are blogs for any topic under the sun. So, I have been reading a few (which easily turns into reading a lot!), updating and adding features to my blog, educating myself on various aspects of the crafters/quilters blogging business.

My current interests seem to be focused on further collecting of Kaffe Fassett fabrics (a box of the gorgeous stuff actually came in in the mail today!), making drawstring back packs, finishing off the baby quilts for the twins (one is in the frame, finally - a quilt, not a twin!), and working on my doodling skills for the day down the road when I am working on a Rhapsody quilt. The art of doodling must be perfected, and the non-artist in me needs lots of practicing. Erin has given me lots of tips, and she even recommended an artist whose work is noted for his excessive embellishments. ( Of course, at present, I do not recall his name.)

The summer is winding down, and in just a week and a half I will find myself back in school. Kevin actually started today. Emma will go on Monday. There is a lot going on between now and my first day. Adam will be leaving for the Navy on the 18th, and we will have a send-off here on Saturday with a brunch. Big changes.
