MON 2 FEB | Yay!By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
I finished my part of the quilt on Saturday!!!... at least the biggest part... and everything that I can do for now! Once I getting it back from the quilt store I still have to do the binding but that is normal.. I can't wait to post a picture of the finished project!
Mom said to me, wow it is huge, and dad's comment was well at least they won't have to fight over the quilt cause there should be more than enough.. LOL Anyway, now I just need to do the pillow shams etc. But I'm not sure if I will get those done ahead of time, it all depends on how energetic I get, as well as the amount of time I have. First I'm going to try get some other things done now! Like invitations etc.

WED 4 FEB | My quilt is gone...By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
.. so yesterday after work I brought it to the quilting store to get it quilted... Since my name wasn't on the list till March I asked if there would be a possibility that she could get it done before the end of February... so we will see what happens!
Other than that.. lets just say if you are addicted to quilting and have a good reason to want to make more you should avoid those kinda stores at all costs! I was in there yesterday and saw some realllllyy! cute fabric!!!!!! Let me tell you, anyway so I come home and was telling mom about it and so she says.... well you need something for your diningroom/kitchen table yet??!!?? LOL Anyway so now she has me thinking and who knows what will happen now! It would be more of a table runner if I did anything so not nearly as expensive as half of the other things I have done so far!
So for colors that was in the Reds & Pinks... umm to try and explain it.. well that is kinda hard.. but if you went and looked in the Stampin' Up! catalogue at the Designer Series paper it is is like the Candy Lane paper colors! Very cute!!
They would all end up being after the wedding projects so it doesn't affect anything that I have to get done before the wedding!
Then the BIG thing was since I took my King size quilt to work yesterday to show everyone, someone at work asked me if I could make her a Lap size or maybe a Twin size quilt same pattern just in her colors! So that is where I'm heading tomorrow... (quilt store) I pretty much told her if she wanted that it had to be soon... (Right Stefanie??)
Anyway that is all for now!

FRI 6 FEB | Hanging out with Friends!By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
Well, last night I went over to Yvonne's house and had a nice visit with her, since we hadn't done so in a while and she is going to Ontario for a few weeks it was really high time to catch up! Alanna also came after she was done milking... so it was a great girls night for just hanging out and having a gab session! LOL
Other than that after work yesterday I went to the quilting store again! This time first of all because I'm making a small lap quilt for someone at work! So I went with her and she choose out what she wanted and that was that... then I had fallen in love with some other fabric last time I was there... and mom gave me a great idea... so I ended up buying that as well... but in the end that wasn't nearly as expensive as all the other projects that I have recently bought fabric for..... But now I first have to finish the lap quilt, that I offered to do for Stefanie....

TUE 10 FEB | Well bring it on....By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
... as usual it seems like my life has a way of getting way busier than I want it the weeks that I have to much happening to begin with! So I have something everynight including today for the rest of the week... it does make a difference that I have been trying to go to bed on time for the last few nights... hopeing to get a little extra sleep... since I know I'm not getting a whole lot for the rest of the week! Oh well such is the story of my life... Anyway almost the end of the day here gotta go get my eyebrows waxed and then pick up some stuff for Evert in Coalhurst and then head home and eat supper only to turn around and head to choir for 2 hours.... who knows I may get in bed on time tonight... cause we really aren't home that late when we have choir... at least before 10 but then before you get to bed... I guess about normal.... hmmm hopefully my car is almost done... I'm really getting sick of his car after a week and a few days so far... LOL... I know way off topic..

TUE 17 FEB | Yay... or not....By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
... well I got home again yesterday at 5:30 so we made good time both ways.... I was really happy since the roads were good both ways! When we went there was snow till about the Crowsnest Pass and after that we were good! so that was 9 3/4 hour or so but that includes 3 stops so I would round it down to about 9 maybe even 9 1/4 tops... and the way home a bit longer so that was closer to the 10 hour mark total... so I would say that was with at least 3/4 to an hour of non driving time as well, (but that was also because we stopped a few times and went shopping in Walmart in Sandpoint).... hmm we had to stop to get something to eat somewhere... so that was where it ended up being. We also bought some books and then I found a really cute summer skirt. So in the end it was worth it but at the same time not so much so... but oh well We had fun...
Leanna figured out that I don't need a backseat driver like some people... according to her I am my own... LOL Her reasoning was that I tell people to do things and even say what I'm doing wrong... Not that I'm such a freaky driver because she didn't seem to have a problem with it... she just thought it was funny!...
Anyway I do have some pictures to post but that will have to wait till I get home and have some time... which isn't tonight...

Ok, so I am starting to feel better, just don't have the same amount of energy as usual but at least I'm up and about and feel like doing things... like updating my blog but then my blog is making me angry... more like Windows Vista is making me angry... since it won't let me upload pictures So I guess no pictures for a while....

TUE 24 FEB | I should be in bed...By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
but... sometimes my blog is more exciting... And texting someone but that is all right...
I just got back from choir about 20 minutes ago since I had to fuel up my car... well I guess I didn't have to yet but it was getting really close. I could have gone to work tomorrow but then would have had to do it afterwards so it just worked out now since I had some time. Yup I'm finally driving my own car after way to many weeks of my bro's car!!!!!! I'm very happy to be back to my own but it still isn't done so that sucks... he was working on the hood when I got home so hopefully.......... I have a feeling that it is wishful thinking but he needs to get it done cause I'm sick of it and if it takes to much longer.... well I haven't figured it out yet but I will come up with some sorta threat or something that should work!
I should have taken a picture of my car before he started working on it... and then I could take a now picture... since it has improved a lot already... and then one when it was done.... I guess I could always go take one now yet but it won't do the whole thing justice for the improvement!! It was REALLY BAD!! is about the only way I can put it... stupid deer!!!! I guess first of all stupid person who backed into my car and then stupid deer... LOL... wasn't funny at the time... I can laugh about it now though!
Oh well that is all for now! or not... I could give a choir update but I won't tonight... since I really should think about going to bed!
Toodles

THU 26 FEB | Oh I'm hating....By Alise Van de Bruinhorst |
everything right now... I'm so sick of trying to get things done right at work... and it isn't working for that matter... and then I forget stuff.... it has been really bad the last few days... for a while I was doing really good and now I'm not sure, but I just want to crawl into a hole and hide for a while, hopeing that everything will be done by the time I resurface.... Especially all this crappy audit stuff... and all the expectations that I have no idea about! Oh well I guess I better tackle it or I will have more issues than before...... especially cause I have a few hours today and then tomorrow to get it all done!
This weekend should be better... just rediculously busy since John will be here and we have several things to get done... oh well...
