Quilting...on a Sunday afternoon

So, Sunday, I decided to do something with the huge stack of un-wearable, un-usable jeans I had in the 3rd bedroom. I have at least 30 pairs that I have been saving to do something crafty with. Mom gave me a really good idea to make a blue jean quilt out of them. Seems pretty easy. Just a bunch of squares and sewing straight lines. Has to be easy for any beginner. I borrowed her rotary blade, cutting mat and 6" square template and got to cutting. I sat on the floor of the living room so I could cut them up while I watched TV. Got some good movies in but when it was all said and done, I cut 124 6" squares. One hundred. Twenty four. Squares. Believe it or not, I am SO sore today! I guess it was the whole sitting on the floor using cutting muscles I haven't in a long time. Its all over sore! Who knew quilting was a full contact hobby. I bet moma is really in shape. I'll post pictures at a later date. There wasn't enough light to take any when I was finished cutting those 124 squares. Did I mention I cut 124 6" squares?

Today is our anniversary, number 8. He's not home but I did get those pretty flowers today at work, how sweet huh? I think this picture came out MUCH better than that last post of flowers! Whew, that was an old camera! It's the one here at work and a 3-1/2 floppy fits in it. O.L.D. We plan on eating out on Wednesday night, when he comes home. I was also able to change the number of years we've been married on my profile. Won't be long and I'll be up-ping Shelby's age there too. Time certainly does fly by.
Weekend was pretty slow, just hung around the house. I started yet another dish cloth, in a red white and blue and this one will have a star design on it. My next project is going to be a baby afgan for Derricks baby. I'm not going with a pink or blue. I'm sticking with a neutral beige. It's the color she's going with in the baby's room so it's perfect. When I start on that, I'll be sure to post pics. And I don't want to talk about those booties I started...

I recently saw the new Toyota FJ Cruiser. (i know, right here in the berry!) They are the coolest looking SUV on the road I have seen! They have such a vintage look, and I'm all about that. I think this vehicle just moved to the top of my "I'd like a vehicle like..." list. Not sure if I'd go with the Titanium Metallic or the Voodoo Blue. The blue looks so 60s, but who am I kidding, I'm a Silver chick! Hmmm...yea, I definitly think so.
