Thankful

I sound really negative in the last post.  I'm not really like that.  I am thankful for all that I am, and all that I have.  I have just had a really hard time with my Dads death , my mothers health, and financial stress.   I know life goes on and that God will get me thru this.  He is always faithful.  The devil will make you think that your all alone and that noone cares.  I know thats not true.  I love my family, friends and God.   Prayer is a good thing all the time, but especially when your hurting.  I will get get thru this.  I will.

Sometimes I feel like this, useless and empty!   I guess we all do at times.

I made my daughter get out in the snow and take a picture of this mail box in rural Indiana.  How it's still all attached is beyond me!  LOL

Rag Quilt is DONE!

I finished the rag quilt yesterday. I will try to get pictures up later. It turned out nice for my first try.

My Dad

My Dad died April 5th 2009. He loved fishing, hunting and his purple martins. I had this song played at his funeral. I miss him.

The Rag Quilt & Thoughts

Okay, It took me just as long to rip out those seams as it did to put the whole thing together so far! I used pins this time and am much happier with the way it looks now. I have four rows completed. Atleast I won't lose sleep over it now. I stayed all night at moms. I know she gets lonely. I don't want to have regrets with my Mom like I do with my Dad. I wish I would have visited him more and knew his thoughts. It makes me sad.

Rag Quilt

I've started a rag quilt for my mother today. I have three rows done. I noticed on the back that the squares are not lined up just right. Now I'm thinking of ripping the rows out and redoing them. With a rag quilt you don't have to have all the seams lined up perfectly because they are on the back and the fringe is on the front. But I don't think I'm going to be able to leave it that way. It's already worrying me! CRAZY I AM. I AM CRAZY. (I would have to fix it in a box, or with a fox. Here or there or anywhere!!!!!) :S
