I guess I should start by saying hello!\u00a0 I’ve been a very bad blogger lately.\u00a0 This summer has been very busy with traveling from to Texas to Missouri and back to Texas.\u00a0 Then I loaded up the car and went back to Missouri.<\/p>\n

As if that wasn’t enough driving, my hubby decided that I should meet him in Florida for a couple days.\u00a0 So, off we went to Florida.\u00a0 We had a great time but that meant a 15 hour trip back to Texas.\u00a0 I don’t care to get back in my car for a very long time.\u00a0 In total, we went over 2800 miles in 3 weeks…that’s way too much driving!<\/p>\n

But now I’m back home and I’ve had a little break from sewing and blogging so I’m ready to get busy again.\u00a0 Well almost ready.\u00a0 I’ve been having a little trouble with my back again which stinks but I’m working through it.\u00a0 I have to get another MRI Monday so I’m praying nothing major is wrong again.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I do have a bit of sad news.\u00a0 Today was a terrible day for mom and Gene.\u00a0 They had to take their beautiful little toy poodle Murphy to the vet.\u00a0 She was very sick and she didn’t make it.\u00a0 My heart goes out to them during this terrible time.<\/p>\n

Ok maybe now I can share some projects.\u00a0 I was a month behind on my Stash Bee blocks but I finally got caught up.<\/p>\n

Here’s my July block<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

And my August block…we weren’t supposed to sew the quadrants together so here’s a couple different options for putting it together.<\/p>\n

I think that’s it for tonight.\u00a0 I’m anxiously awaiting my hubby and 8 year old to get home from Florida.\u00a0 They should be here any minute!<\/p>\n
