Paisley Playtime

One of my favorite patterns. I used it on both of these customer quilts. Only one more to go and all the May commitments will be finished.

Another rainy day

Looks like another rainy day, no biking this morning. I guess I will have to get right to work.

My daughter and I had a nice ride last Sunday. We still haven't taken Kendall out in the cart, hope to do that this weekend.

I did finish a couple of customer quilts and worked a little on OC. Still, still on step 2. I have 3 quilts that must be done this weekend and am hosting a little stampin up card party at my house tomorrow. It is going to be a busy day here! Getting the first quilt loaded this morning and this afternoon cleaning and preparing goodies for tomorrow.

Ocracoke and back

Nothing quilt related accomplished. The plans for yard work yesterday and loading a quilt were set aside for a day trip. A couple of friends called and invited me to go to Ocracoke Island with them so off I went. It is a 2 hr. car ride and a 2 hr ferry ride from my house. We had time to see the lighthouse and had a nice dinner. We decided to spend the night but all the hotels were full. We will have to go again when we really plan the trip and head out early. Even though we didn't have much time on the island it was a fun trip and I'm ready to go again. Next time I hope to remember my camera!!

Not much happening here

I just got back from a bike ride. I think I did about 8 miles today. Doesn't sound like much but I may be taking a second ride later today with the kids. My daughter, Sherry, bought a bike cart so she could take Kendall with us. That should be fun. Until then I have a lot of yard work to do and a little shopping. I must get a quilt loaded today - it's going to be a busy day!!

Happy Mother's Day

I decided to change the routine a little. I walk a lot, either with Kendall or taking Lucky to the beach. I dug out the old bicycle and thought I would fix it up to ride. Emerald Isle has a nice bike path plus a nice ride along the ocean. It didn't take long to decide that a new bike was in order. Yesterday I bought myself a shiny new bike. Never thought I would be buying another bike at this stage of my life. My one slight obstacle is the fact that I drive a VW bug. It is not an easy task to stuff that bike in the back of the bug. I bought a bike rack but it isn't working out too well on that slanted trunk. Guess I will have to do some more researching to find the ideal carrier.

I got up early this morning to ride before the rain came in. Well, it took me a little over an hour to find the car key. I had left it in the garage last night while installing the carrier. I was determined to ride so I went anyway. Got a bit of a ride in before I saw the lightening and decided to head back to the car. So even though I did get pretty wet it was fun.

Spring roadside flowers

We have the most beautiful flowers along the highway going out to Emerald Isle. Kendall's Mom and Dad took her out to see them and to get a few pictures. I really like this one.
