BSU Quilts, cupcakes, and other projects

This week has been insane! I started with the great idea of making a Boise State quilt for my brother and sister-in-law's baby shower this Saturday. The kicker....I've never made a quilt. It's coming along...slowly. I just sewed it all together and there are some pieces that are pieced in wrong so tomorrow will be a slow day or picking out stitches...but I will get it right....

Tuesday was Cameron's pseudo birthday at preschool. I am old school. I think if you get a summer birthday, tough luck. No party at school. But it seems to be the trend to celebrate a birthday every darn day so we have to include everyone. Therefore, Cameron was celebrating her psuedo birthday this week. She got the crown and the whole she-bang. Ridiculous, but fun. As soon as I dropped her off at school with cupcakes and drinks, I was off to Carberry to teach another sixth grade art lesson, this time on perspective and watercoloring. It was great, we made some awesome scarecrows using black crayolas and watercolor techniques. Now to get ready for the big ogre project next week (more to come on that later). Now I find out I am teaching Religious Education this week afterall (no lesson plan yet) and trying to make a quilt on crunch time. Why do I do this kind of thing to myself? A normal person would have just gone to the store and bought a diaper genie and called it good. Not me!

Matt is out late tonight. His Grandpa is not doing well at all and he went over to visit with is brothers. I am expecting him home any time, but I am on my second glass of wine and all I can say is "Good night". Enjoy the cards below. Thank you cards for our montly swap.
Birthday card for my sister.


Monkey Card for a Monkey Card swap on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com. I haven't scrapbooked for a few weeks because I have started (but stopped) painting my craft area and then got bored with it. I need to get that finished in between BSU Quilts and other projects. I'm starting to think I'm insane with the amount of crap I take on at one time. Hence the reason why a glass or two of wine a night helps make me realize it really doesn't matter if any or all of it gets finished. Enjoy your evening!
