Almost 3 Months???

I can't believe I have let over 2 months go by since I last blogged! I had to remind myself that this is a record for my generations! Lots to catch up on! Don't you love the view outside my studio window! It is beautiful! Sassafras loves it too!!

This is her "spot" in the sewing room. She loves it there. Cammy has a favorite spot too.

Under the table. She curls up and sleeps the entire time I am sewing, whether it is for 30 minutes, or all day long! She turned 1 on September 25th! I can't imagine our home without her!

Another birthday took place! Emerson turned 4 on September 16th! 

Such a big girl!! She loved her Princess cake!

Her brother lost a tooth. Just in time for the season...I wonder if he will be a Jack-O-Lantern? He would make a good one!!

My Mom also had a birthday. She turned 70 and we had a wonderful surprise party for her. I want to do a full post sharing pictures so that her grandkids and great grandkids can see them in later years. For now, here is a picture of my Mom, my sister, my aunt, and me (I am the tall one :p).

Let's see.....Zach has started 6th grade. We are still homeschooling . He just finished up his garden. It was not a great success this summer with the hot weather and no rain, but he got some carrots to juice and the tomatoes did fair.

Charlotte began her first high school year attending public school. She lasted 3 weeks, and it was an utter failure. Way too much stress, so we pulled her out and she is attending a private Christian school. 

God made a way, where there seemed to be no way! She is doing AWESOME!!! She is helping to lead Praise and Worship in the mornings, and I see only wonderful things ahead for her. Our October is going so well, I almost forgot it was October!

Kyle is staying healthy and he and Zach are spending some great time together. I am hoping to get Kyle in at a nursing home to volunteer with the activity department very soon.

We spent several different weekends at our local State Park over the last couple of months. It was a wonderful time of relaxing, hiking, and fishing. I LOVE this picture of my husband and oldest son. No words are needed.

On the quilting front, I have finally gotten my mojo back!! In the hoop, I have been working on a table runner, and, of course, Emerson's quilt, but in the sewing room I have 2 different projects going. 

 First, this Sawtooth Star quilt, which will be a cover up for my family room....

I think I need 28 blocks and will use the background fabric as an alternating block.

The newest project is a baby quilt that needs to be done by mid November. I made real headway today after church, when I came home, threw on these....

...and got to work! 

I should have the top together tomorrow, but I won't baste it until the runner is finished. 

I think that is enough for now. I will try to get back here at least weekly. Now that my quilting mojo is back, I should have lots to show and tell!!!
