Quilting

So I have been taking a quilting class with Malauna
It has been really fun and I have learned so much!!!! I know, there is actually something that I didn't already know about sewing, IMAGINE!!! => I learned the right measurements for triagle pieces and how to clip the corners and how to sew triangles and make them match up. It was very instructional!! Even if I hadn't learned anthing new, it was nice to have a night away doing something I like!! I can't wait for the next half when we learn to machine quilt and bind it. I am only doing a small 4 square wall hanging in hopes that I get it done. I am using browns and blues to go up in our tv room.

So I have to interupt to tell a very funny story. As I am up stairs typing this the kids are all out front with Doug. Out the open window I can hear the beginning sound a music, yes, it is the ICE CREAM MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I brace myself for the onslot to come, and it came, four little girls came rushing in to the house yelling and jumping up and down, "CAN WE HAVE ICE CREAM??? CAN WE HAVE ICE CREAM???!!! HE'S ON OUR STREET!!!!" When that music comes floating down our block it is amazing how fast they come running. Maybe I should use that song when I want them to come clean. =>
But I panned them off this time by telling them to go find their dad and let him tell them no.

I just had to share that. Thank you.

Now I have lost my train of thought so I will go now.

We were eating dinner outside, enjoying the beautiful ice cream truck music and I told my kids if Scarry Larry came down our street, we would get some. Lucky for my wallet, he didn't come. In fact, this summer, he has only come down our street once.

Last year we chased Scary Larry down for the first time ever and now I can sympathize with your woes. 2 bucks for a lousy bomb pop? No thanks. I'm glad I live on perhaps the least busy street in the neighborhood.
