Las Vegas Bound

Am in California now visiting my granddaughter and her parents. I arrived on a Wednesda and on Friday we left for Las Vegas for the weekend and had a wonderful time. Was great seeing all the new casinos. It had been about 15 years since I had been there and lots of new things to see. Cady loved all the lights and the people. Everytime someone got on the elevator with us she would give them the once over. And one night on the monorail she stared some guy down.

However, let me explain the picture. On the way down, in the middle of nowhere, I told Cady's mom and dad that she had pooped. They asked if we thought we could wait awhile before we changed her. I said, "how far?". They said 50 miles. I said "no way!" And then the "aroma" got to all of us and we pulled off an exit where there was nothing and pulled to the side of the road. When we took Cady out of her car seat there was poop all over. It hadn't got on her car seat but it was all over her clothes and up her back and down to her ankles. We got her clothes off and put them in a plastic bag and used LOTS of wipes. We stood her on the trunk of the car buck naked and finished wiping her down. In the meantime there were a few cars and semi trucks passing by. It was really pretty funny and I'm sure she'll really enjoy this story and picture in about 15 years.

Boomeranged Home

Here are the first blocks that were made for me and I especially like the one where she fussy cut the center block. Was wondering what everybody would make and so far I am really pleased.

More outgoing Boomerang blocks

Here are some more of the Boomerang blocks I made and are being mailed out tomorrow.

One more Boomerang and a quilt

Here is the last Boomerang block.

And the little quilt on the right is one I made for the lady who babysits for Cady every once in awhile when her Dad is busy with his job. It's actually a log cabin I Spy...don't know if you can see the fabrics but I just cut up my leftover strips from some of my I Spy fabrics. I have about eight more blocks just like these. Not sure what I'm going to be doing with those.

Now I really am up-to-date

Okay, now I really am up-to-date with my Boomerang blocks. I recevied some in the mail today and finished those up and there is no mail on Monday to I'm up-to-date. Mailed off all of the blocks except for these yesterday.

Up-to-date

I'm now up-to-date with all the fabrics I've been sent and will mail them out tomorrow. However, you'll notice in the last one that I'll be needing to turn the bottom right square around. Will do that in the morning and then mail them off.

Some more blocks

Here are the rest of the blocks I've finished. Am glad that Monday is a holiday and there won't be any mail. Maybe I'll finish up all the fabrics I've received so far.
