Now and then I crave peace and quiet, eating when I want and just enjoying the quiet of nature. Yesterday we went to our camper and we had already discussed it would be quiet time. When we arrived 4 couples that we are close to were all there. Had a great time but so much for peace and quiet. Arrived home today and ordered some real camping supplies. Hubby is not happy with me because he is worried about my safety. Going to give it a try. Just a day or two, I will be car camping and taking a instant set up 2 person screen tent

Speaking of Memphis, I'm going there tomorrow, through the weekend. My daughter and I are embarking on a little business venture together. She has a couple of "venues" now in an upscale antique store. One is for babies and young children. I am making stroller and crib quilts to sell in the baby venue. I've been busy for weeks stippling my fingers to the bone, and tonight I'm washing all of them. They should crinkle well with their 80/20 batting. Eventually I will add pillows and probably bags and some outfits. My daughter would like to have some of my crocheted animal dolls too, but they take so long to make it really isn't worth it. I just make them for the grandkids' gifts.
Waiting, waiting for this boom to start. Maybe I'll make my own blocks while I wait.

Terri - enjoy it one night at a time. Pick a safe spot. You can do it!
SewBiz - I we had a dog like that. I couldn't take a walk without her - but couldn't walk with her! Let us know what are the sellers in your venue. I see so many items made and always wonder how much they sold. I give everyone credit as I am not one that could sew like that.

Bibliostone such darling fabric, love the camo like fabric with the frogs.
Klaws, your fabric is beautiful, all those colors are going to make a beautiful quilt.
Hav4, first thing I thought of when I saw your fabric was Kass would have had a blast creating something unique with it. It's going to be fun to see what everyone makes.

SBG, lots in the mail!
We’re babysitting Charlie at our house today and it’s been fun. Fun, right up until nap time. It’s been an hour and she’s still wide awake! At least she’s fairly quiet and not hopping from the bed. She’s going to be a terror for her parents if she doesn’t nap. Oh, dear!

LogCabin82, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’ll be a light case. Take care.
