The Latest

I finished sewing the quilt top! I had some issues with making my seams smaller than I intended so it looks like I'm going to have to add an edge to the backing before I put the thing together. Oh well . . . I was already starting to change my plans for that so I'm not too concerned. Yeah me!



This week has been my spring break and it feels wonderful to spend some time at home. Dave's parents came up last night with his sister and her 2 kids and we had a nice time. It was a good excuse to get things cleaned so that I didn't spend the rest of the week thinking about how I needed to take care of it. The following picture is Dave playing a game while on the phone with his parents trying to coordinate last night. I just thought he looked cute in my dad's old national guard hat so I had to take a picture. You can tell he was pleased ;)



Anyway . . . I started teaching Math just before spring break. The book we were given to use is pretty good and I'm enjoying it. I've got some ideas that I will probably start using later on but right now I'm hoping to reduce my stress and worry less so I'm putting off working on school stuff until Friday and I figure whatever I get done, I get done and it will be good enough. I'm also enjoying the time I have this week to spend with friends that I feel like I don't get a chance to talk to except rushed conversations on Sundays. I used to be a good friend and I feel like I don't get to be anymore because I get spread so thin that I end up being self centered when I do get to see my friends. Sorry friends!

Our lives are pretty boring right now so I'll leave it at that. Tanya . . . I will post more of Dave's work later this week. He's working on a really cool painting right now and started another one at school so I'll post them when he is done with them.

Our Bedspread and Dave's Art

I've laid it out and now I just need to do a bit more cutting and I'll be ready to sew.



These are some of Dave's latest art projects for his classes.
