I have really fallen off the wagon with my blogging!  So here goes. I’ve decided to write just 
a little each morning.  A lot is happening in both my quilting world and my jewelry world.  
First things first…QUILTING!  OMG…I recently purchased the ProStitcher to go with my
Handi-Quilter.  Let me tell you, this thing is AMAZING! I’ll be giving long arm discounts in 
June to accompany the FabShopHop.   Look for that coming up!  



Also I participated as a vendor at the Odessa Quilt Show.  It was so much fun!  I got a lot of
 advice from Gail and her hubby at Quilt Patch Lane. She is amazing!  Things are going really 
strong at The Log Cabin.  We’re currently upstairs, but will be moving down stairs the end of
the month. You have to check us out!

I’ve been working on a quilt for our Wing Commander for his retirement.  It’s turning out 
amazing – not sure I want to part with it!  I’ll post pics when I’m done.

Jewelry News
I may have mentioned in previous blogs that I started selling Premier Designs jewelry last 
August.  I did this to pay for my small business loan.  The jewelry biz is kicking butt!!!  I love
 it so much and I’m making at least $1000 extra a month.  I’m trying to earn the entire line of
 the new jewelry, but right now it looks like half the line might be more realistic.  I’m 4000 
points away from half the line.  I’ll be heading to Dallas in July for the annual rally.  Can’t wait!

My PA (Precious Angel) had his last arena football game of the season.  The South Hill Soul 
lost, but he did score a touchdown.



At the request of my First Born, I FINALLY watched Kill Bill.  Uma Thurman is a bad ass!  
Kill Bill Volume 2 is next in my Netflix cue...



OMG…I just bought the most AMAZING beauty product from Sephora.  It’s from Urban 
Decay and it’s an eye shadow primer.  No kidding…my eye makeup looks just like I put
it on at the end of the day!



That’s all for now…

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  This past Saturday, my 13-year-old had a wrestling tournament.  If you've ever had a kid in wrestling, you know that these are all day events, sometimes not ending until way past 7pm.  My son has always done well at wrestling, he's never not received a medal.  We're usually one of the last ones at the tournament.  SO...this particular day went something like this.

His first match he won.  His second match he lost - was pinned by a friend so it wasn't that big deal.  His third match he somehow got dropped on his head.  You could hear the thud.  I didn't see it because the ref was in my line of sight...but I heard it.  His dad ran out to the mat to make sure he was okay.  He was tested for a concussion by one of the coaches and he appeared to be okay.  We were all really shaken up, so we decided to head home early -- no more wrestling for the day. 

The plan was for Anthony to go to his dad's house, then I was going to meet my husband on the road and we were going to head to Coeur d'Alene to watch his daughter's dance recital.  That didn't happen. 

Anthony wanted his XBox, which he left at my house, so his dad said he'd drive him the 44 mile round trip distance to get it.  Anthony was in the car w/his dad and I was following them in my car.  I stopped to meet my husband and tell him  I was exhausted and I wanted to go home and rest.  Anthony and his dad were a few miles ahead of me when I got a call on my cell phone from his dad telling me to hurry up and get home, there's smoke every where and there's a fire!

Here's what happened...when I left in the morning.  We have this roll top cabinet where we keep our toaster.  I closed the cabinet down on the toaster handle, causing the toaster to be on from 7am until 4pm.  Everything in the cabinet was burned and melted!  Smoke was everywhere!

SOOO...had Anthony continued to win and earn a medal and we would have kept the original plans, no one would have been back to our house until at least 10pm.  I honestly believe the house would have burned to the ground.

Everything happens for a reason...I believe God must've had a hand in dropping Anthony on his big ole head that day and causing us to come home early.

BTW...I'm getting new counter tops and cabinets...

So there I was in the heart of Music City, USA…Nashville, Tennessee and boy was I looking forward to going to the Grand Ole Opry.  On the lineup for the night was Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and Vince Gill.  Mark and I had great seats up high, right at center stage.

Behind us sat a family of seven.  With an infant.  When I say infant, I mean maybe a 2 week old baby.  Who brings a baby to the Grand Ole Opry?  Unless you’re one of the acts and you’re breast feeding…  

Well, this family talked the whole time, ruining the show for our entire row.  The baby cried and cried, and occasionally they would take the baby out.  I asked them to “shush” twice and they just looked at me like I had 2 heads.  They were the rudest people I had even encountered.  

Finally the show was winding down and Mark says, “I can’t take this anymore, let’s go.”  Well you know me…I just can’t keep my mouth shut.  When I got up I turned around and looked at the rude guy behind me and he FLASHED his camera at me, blinding me!!  So as I was leaving, I said to him, “Thanks for being so rude and ruining the show for us, a**hole.”  I then started walking down the aisle stairs.  

Apparently, they were following me because when I got downstairs the gal says to me, “Excuse me!  You have no right to call us names!  We paid for seven seats!”  I said, “I paid for TWO! You guys didn’t stop talking the entire time and you ruined the show for us!”  As Mark is heading down the stairs he says to one of the elderly ticket taker guys, “These people need to be arrested!”  And he proceeds to bolt down the stairs while I’m still exchanging words with these people.  I soon realized I wasn’t going to get anywhere with them and I turn around and headed down the stairs to find my husband.  Well then this chick yells over the balcony, “Hey you Yankee!  Go back to Boston!”  I think her baby daddy also called me a dog or something like that.  

Where was Mark?  In the gift shop…

Oh my gosh, you guys...this is so exciting!  My favorite local quilt shop, Log Cabin Dry Goods, shut it's doors a few months ago, only to reopen as a crafter's-type vendor mall!  They have rented out square footage to local small businesses to sell their wares.  The majority of the vendors sell quilting related items.  The West Plains Quilt Company moves in March 1st!!!  So, in addition to the online store, we'll also have all the benefits of a brick and mortar shop!

Come see us at:

This could not be possible without the Lovely and Talented 2 Pams...Pam Clark and Pam Pointdexter.  Thank you, ladies!
