Top 100 Quilting Blogs: Thank You Readers!

Almost 12 years of blogging, over 9 million views, and average that was once 3 new posts a week that has slowed down more than a bit, I'm still here, still sewing, crafting and most of all quilting!

So, it was lovely whenever my creative efforts are recognized. Thank you,

It can get very interesting and often a bit nutty around here...from grown children, to my little grandchildren, to my cats and chickens, to visiting squirrels, opossums, raccoons, coyotes, deer, to stray dogs, cats, a cow in our garden, a horse on a deck, three pigs in our chicken coop, well...you get my drift!  

And the craziest of all might just be me! 

(I almost never sleep..haven't since I was born..but I live life to the fullest and have so many interests and things I love that I'd better live to be very old because I want to keep going and do most of my to do list! And it's a long one!!)

 

Love my chickens, all of my beloved cats, and now my grandcats and a grandpup. They've all loved quilts and yes, even the one day old chicks sleep under a quilt on top of their warmer!!

 Now, back to sewing, quilting, crafting, wildcrafting, decorating and creating new things to share with all of you! The past week has been dedicated to my precious littles..grandchildren ages 3,2,1 years old. 

Yesterday was the "Awesome 3000"...an area wide fun run for all ages. My own children now in their 30s and 40s ran the "Awesome" every single year it was available from beginning in elementary school to their senior year in high school!

It is near and dear to my heart and makes me cry and cheer and clap for every runner with a full heart!

We held our littlest 1 year old grandbaby and watched the 2 and 3 year old run their little hearts extended out with determination and joy. And please forgive this grandma for especially cheering for her 3 year old granddaughter who crossed the finish line first among the gigantic crowd of 3 and under year olds, (non competitive all in fun but I can't help but be so proud!) and my precious little grandson, age 2 who ran and ran and finished the entire 300 meters...3/4 of a college track loop. So fun to watch and so proud of ALL of the kids who ran!

Love children of all ages, love their energy and spark, and love most of all their sense of fun, exuberance and joy in all they do! Way to go Salem runners! What a fun run for all ages from kids to the proud friends, parents and grandparents watching them!

Now,back to creating lovely and fun experiences with heart and hands in my own life with that same energy, spark, and joy that children carry in their lives and in their hearts!
