So who's the fool now?
I left Diana alone for a moment, and she painted her face. Don't I feel foolish?
Reminds me of something Amelia said to me this morning, "I'm sneaky, but I'm still pretty nice." Both of the girls can be sneaky, but we love them just the same.
I haven't been blogging much, because I have been worn out every evening. Many nights I stay up to complete online training for my part-time job. The training is mind-numbingly dull and drains me of my will to live. This is not the best mindset to have when I would approach the blog, which is supposed to be happy and friendly. BUT I'm pretty sure I have all of my really important online work finished, so I'd like to welcome my brain and my smile back and give a shout out to all my peeps in the world of Internet blogging.
Now for the news: The weather has been beautiful. However, the warm sunshine and spring flowers have driven my family indoors. If you can't fathom why lovely spring weather would be avoided, check out the pollen count data for Northern California on weather dotcom.
And speaking of numbers, some of you know that I have undertaken a quilting project. For those of you unaware of my domestic undertaking, I have undertaken a quilting project.
So now you know.
Weeks ago I found myself beaming with pride because I had completed the required 108 squares needed to assemble my daughter's twin size bed quilt. But as I began to piece the quilt together, I found that I kept running out of specific colored squares. Beginning to feel a tad frustrated, I took out a pen and paper and calculated the actual number of squares needed to complete my first, fairly basic, fence rail quilt. I came up with 186.
After taking my first quilting class I realized that quilting required a lot of intelligence and skill in areas such as geometry and math. Apparently, the author of my quilting book missed the math section, somehow. Still, the book I'm using is a good one and I'm willing to sit down and sew another 78 fence rail blocks if that's what it takes to get the job done.
