ramblings

I don't always blog as often as I should, mostly because I think I ramble about stuff that doesn't matter much..but I guess its good that I can get it out of my system.  I'm a rambler, what can I say?

I went to a quilting class today. This one was on the lone star quilt. I think its going to be really pretty once I get it done. I picked all pinks, not because I like a lot of pink, but mostly because of the fact that they were the color of the month fabrics at the quilt shop, and were 25% off. Its all different shades and prints, so I think it will turn out kind of neat. The neat part about this class, is its beyond my skill level, so I'm really stepping out there with this, and trying something new. Its nice to have something challenging I would say.

I'm still working on my crochet book of dolls I'm writing. Its a slow process, but I think it will be worth it, knowing that I put all of that hard work into it, even if it doesn't get published. But I'm going to try as hard as I can to find somebody to publish it.

So now you may ask, why am I taking quilting classes, while writing a crochet book??? Well, because in all honesty, sometimes I just need to clear my brain, because it gets too muddled. Once I get my brain all cleaned up from the tangles of the pattern writing process, I can step back into it, with a fresh mind, and have better results.

With spring coming around the corner, I've had thoughts of gardening. I'm going to have to thin out some of my bulbs. They are over grown in some spots, and aren't blooming out the way I know they can. SO my plan is this. I have this area of rocks in the yard, that is over grown with berry briers that I am so going to get cleaned out of there. I started planting flowers in it a few years ago, some peach colored Iris, and they are beautiful, BUT unfortunately my husband decided to let the briers grow up because he wanted the berries off of them. Well they look like crap, and I want my flowers to be able to keep growing. So I'm going to have to get some good leather gloves, and get in there and pull all of those things out of there. My plan is to spread out different bulbs in there so that it has a bunch of different flowers growing up at different times.  Then we have this one hill that I cant keep up with, when it comes to the grass and weeds, so I'm going to move some of my tiger Lilly's there and just let them take over...and they will!!! I think it will look a whole lot better. Those things multiply like fire!!! So I guess my head is wrapped in spring flowers.


So that's me, a quilter, crocheting, flower minded woman this month.
