The Simple Woman's Daybook




FOR TODAY: Tuesday, April 6th, 2010


Outside my window...bright, blue, sunny skies. It was warm enough to lay out in the grass on a quilt today. WONDERFUL!

I am thinking...that I wish October was sooner!

I am thankful for...friends
From the learning rooms...Spring Break...I wasn't planning on taking it, but Kyle has been fighting a cold the past two days and I get to keep my niece and nephew ALL day Thursday!! So....I guess God planned for me to take Spring break after all ;)
From the kitchen...leftovers from Easter!!
I am wearing...Jeans and a shirt.
I am creating...blocks....2 left for my boomerang swap. A wall hanging for my home for Spring, my cat wall hanging, and a gift.

I am reading...still the same as last week...Snowfall at Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs, The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini and Arizona Embrace by Leigh Greenwood.
I am hoping...that Ronnie can fix our wireless router.

I am hearing...the vent fan above the stove

Around the house...getting rid of stuff!!

One of my favorite things...is knowing I'm going home soon!

A few plans for the rest of the week...Walking tomorrow (I joined a group), Hayleigh and Cody Thursday, then Project Linus, race track on Saturday.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...the quilting frame and mid arm at Fran's!!

I need to make my April block swap partner her block.
I need to finish my Spring wall hanging.
And....Lisa and I are starting new projects together.
I also want to get my fabric ready to go for 2.0!
