Hello and Good Afternoon:  Today is Monday and it's been a blahhhhh kinda day. lol  I spent the morning out away from the house shopping for...... you guessed it material lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually was on a mission to find some comic book boards to start organizing my heaps of fabric and you know what?  Not one store in this city carries them.  I'm going back to the blog I found the idea on and see if they have any links to where they can be found. I'll do that right after starting dinner.  Since it's 4;20pm I should go put the roast on brb.  Ok so if you think I start dinner late your right lol.  We eat dinner usually around 6 to 7 It will be ok. 

I bought fabric for a teal and brown quilt I'm going to make for one of my daughter-in-laws.  I have been gathering fabric for this quilt so I hope I have bought stuff in the right tones.  Anyhow,  I'm making this quilt from a pattern on Favquilts.com (my favorite quilting site to date) and found a summer star quilt, and a summer solstice star quilt and pulled my favorite stars from those 2 and combined them to make my own star quilt lol.  so now I'm piecing that and laying that out.  In the meantime I finished the quilt for my new great niece.  I made a story time quilt with the center block having all the information about the baby's birth. I'll post a photo in the future.

My sister of the day is Anna.  Anna is the oldest of the 5 sisters (we have a brother that's the oldest).  She is a humble, giving, loving, sister.  Anna has a small farm where all the animals on her farm are her "babies" lol.   There are 2 goats,  Baby and Bubba, a mule Nelly, and numerous chickens, and a Jack Russell Terrier cross named Cricket.  Cricket is the daughter of my Jack Russell Maxwell Smart.  And smart he was!!!  but that's a story for another day.  Anna never had any children of her own but with sisters ranging from 2 years younger to 27 years younger she was surrounded with a plethora of children.  We come from a large family and we were very close to our cousins and they in turn have a huge range of ages too. 

Anna married a guitar playing can't do anything unless it's done right kinda man.  Gene,  Geno as we called him was one of the most giving men I ever have had the pleasure of knowing.  He could do a little of everything and saved me from having to hire people to do my house because I would just pick up the phone and bribe Geno with a home cooked meal and waaalaaaa he would come to my rescue.  This man had a voice that could sing with the angels (he now does).  I also had the pleasure of entering into matrimony on the same day as Anna and Gene we had a double wedding.  What a funny thing that was but so nice to be able to share that moment with my sister.  Oh how I love my sisters but there is something very special about Anna and I think I can speak for all my sisters when I say that.

TODAY'S TIP; Comes from Anna:  To make your own fly repellent mix 1 part blue dawn dish soap, 1 part white vinegar, and 3 parts water.  This is safe to use on your pets as well as yourself.
