The sweet little room.........exploded !

Nah, not really, but you can either have it NEAT, or you can get some inspiration and work going,  am I right?

I figured out a design that I wanted to use for a baby quilt that is needed for an anticipated September arrival, so I dragged out the appropriate fabrics (thanks once again to Jodie Ann's leftovers), and got to work yesterday.  Well, it didn't take long for the room to look like a bomb had been dropped on it.  But,  inspiration reigns !

On the other side of the coin, I am just jumping with excitement and anticipation of a couple of my dearest Oklahoma galpals arriving this week to stay overnight on their long drive home.  My husband asked yesterday, in front of his 59 year-old nephew, "honey, are you going to straighten up this mess before your friends arrive?"   REALLY?

LORD, I know that you set the solitary in families, and I am blessed to have been married to this man for over 35 years now, but........REALLY?  Where do they get these questions?  I think maybe it is because they were formed from the dust of the earth, and we were formed from good substantial BONE, albeit theirs.  I don't know, but we surely are different.

Anyway, never fear, Wanda and Terri........you are welcomed with open arms, a picked up home, and hopefully, LORD willing, a big pot of that Chicken and Dumplings that we used to enjoy during our quiltathons !

Then, next week, we'll think about this quilt.......
