Driving Home

A few weeks ago I went to Louisiana. I met my cousin, Layna, there to help my grandmother (and my Dad and aunts and uncles for that matter). My granny recently had surgery for a pacemaker that didn't go well... so Layna and I met there to clean and sort and organize and just generally pitch in. I love Granny and the memories I made that weekend will last a lifetime. I also learned a few very important life lessons in my alone time with her. They aren't blog appropriate, but I assure you she taught me the importance of making "permanent" decisions. 

On the way home I got to see some of the most beautiful Texas skies.... enjoy! 




Now a storm is moving in... 



I will never understand how mankind can look at the heavens and not KNOW there is a God.

Quilting

I haven't blogged in forever! Let me catch you up on the quilting stuff... 

Here is the second block from the red/white/blue block of the month quilt:

This is a really really ridiculously cute wall hanging (or table runner or whatever else you want to use it for) that I made for Natalie. She loves America like I do and this is so country/chic/cute how could I not give it to her??? (and her love language is gifts - so I love you Nat!):
