Pies, blocks and Angels...

Busy, busy, busy and all of it fun!!!

First I had to do a bit of baking to satisfy the bug.

So I made this:

I also made a cherry/peach pie, but I forgot to take a picture. AND by the time I remembered it had a few pieces missing.

This one is on the way to gone now too.

Then it was on to the air show at the Oceana Naval Air Base.

We had a great time--I can be such a boy at times.

Here is my boy showing his respect:

I think the Blue Angels are amazing. I could watch them for hours.

I have no desire to be up there doing however many G's they pull, but I love watching.

18 inches apart!!!!!! 

Yep, half of them are upside down and still way too close together!!!

Awesome!!!!

Back on the home front, I have gotten some more blocks finished.

Three to be exact, with one more in the works.

one

two

and three.

The colors seem a little strange--bad light I guess.

I also got my table runner basted, so fingers crossed that it will get quilted very soon!!!

I want to get on to some of the Christmas presents that I need to make.

It is coming too soon!!!!!

I need to enjoy the fall first.

Hope everyone is having a great week--getting lots done!!

I Have Been a Naughty, Naughty Blogger

...but I have not been idle. I have been quite busy getting ready for a new year of homeschooling and lots of house remodeling and getting ready for visits from family members.
And I have even been able to get a little bit of sewing done. Mandatory for sanity!!!!

These are several of the things that we have been getting ready for:

OK, so they don't look all that exciting at the moment, but they will be soon. The fridge and the range are installed. The dishwasher is waiting for a new door. Shipping is a dangerous sport. It has a big boo boo at the bottom.

In between all the remodeling I have accomplished this top for my fall challenge from Di:

and these two blocks are for Joy's finish challenge:

They are part of this pinwheel quilt that I have been working on:

and I have not showed you all of my Jelly Roll blocks. They are all finished; I just need to put them all together.

And I had a really nice surprise in the mail the other day. Di had us all guess what number post she was coming up to and I guessed 500. And I was right!!!!

She also gave me a goodie for finishing a fall project. 

Look at all these yummy things:

They are hard to see, but up there on the top right are the cutest little buttons. Look at these precious flip flops:

Thank you Di!!!!

Well, that is enough catching up for now. I need to do some more sewing and finishing and keep up with my blogging like a good little quilter.

Hope you are all having a great week.

Two more days until the weekend.
