Just working on quilts

Our ward needed 7 quilts for the DI chrstmas drive so i've been sewing tops for them and other sisters can tie them. i work on them in the morning when it's to cold to go out side and work or raining and we have had alot of that. Yesturday Levi i and Jen were out cleaning the trees so i can spray them and then they had to go, dad called to tell me rain was on the way. so megan and i went out picked up all the tools and came in i walked up the stairs and heard the rain pelting down. i would have been soaked in sec. i've been trying to get the house cleaned for the holidays. don't know what i'm doing for the kids but i'm exsicted to decorate. All my kids need money more than anything. well that will cut my shopping down. haha.

the fle season

well it's that time of year when the weather changes and we turn the heat on or build a fire and it never fails i get sick. you know the ichy eyes and stuffy nose, Danyel says it's anergys to dust, well today i was moving some things in my sewing room and there was alot of dust. so Danyel was right within a few min i was sneezing and my eyes were watering. I guess thats it i don't have to work any more. hahaha I've been making quilts for the DI christmas night and working in the yard. i do take time to play games with the family. well i best get back to work have a great day.
