surgery and progress

My baby boy had his tonsiles and adnoids out and tubes put in his ears Monday. He is doing great.

Progress is.... I finished my 1st block .... in the BOM I am doing.

Here is the progress on my "shop" challange quilt. The black sashing it lying there so I can just see what it will look like.

And here is my row robin so far.... I think I am done with it for now.

stitchery and pin cushion

I worked on two stitchery BOM's on the camping trip. ( camping trip blogged here.) The first on is the Shabby Roses by Elefantz.
And the 2nd one is the stringybark farm by MissyMack.
We stopped by a flea Market on the way home and I found a pin cushion. I collect antique pin cushions, so I was so excited.

My new blog

Is all about our camping trips. Campin~Amy. We camp once or twice a month from the months of April thru November.

We camp in our VW bus, and our new teardrop trailer. Here are the kiddies on the way to a camp trip.

This is in MD on the Shore. This bus is our old one. Her name was 'Papa Smurf'.


'Everybus', not sure which year. Some buses lined up. There is usually 175 buses at this campout.
I will just be posting about our trips and our buses. This weekend we are off to PA, hope it doesn't rain too much. I'll be taking some embroidery work with me to stitch on the way up and back. :o) Can't wait to show you.... later.

Is he not the cutest thing.....

My husband found him in our back yard. After we got pictures of him, Jeremy ( my husband) put him on the porch and he took off and flew up in a tree. So no harm was done to the cute baby bird.

My shop challange quilt top coming along slllloooowly.


And I am getting ready to start quilting my son's teacher's quilt. This is her end of the year gift. I used the 'Brown Bear' panel. I'll show the whole thing when I am done. :o)

teacher appreciation week.

This week is teacher appreciation week at school. Today Jonah picked a beautiful daisy flower out of our yard to give Miss Ward, his wonderful teacher.
Here is a sneak peak of my row robin. (sorry , my brain is just kaput) I don't know if I have mentioned my row robin yet or not. The quilt group I am in is having a row robin. We are starting this month.
So I need "my" row done my the end of May. Actually the last Monday in May. Does it look like grass and sky? I am going to go with a camping theme. Go figure, hahaha.

Back from our trip (photo heavy)

Can you guess where we went..... we ate A LOT. I gained 5 lbs on this trip. ( pictured is me, my husband , my brother, his wife and his mother in- law).

We met a lot of characters like Donald and Daisy... ( I am in my PJ's in the photo.)

I got to sunbath a bit and even got a little burned.....

There were fireworks at night....

We got to meet Mickey Mouse the Pirate....

My whole family went with us.... this is my dad para sailing. My husband and daughter went para sailing too.

I met Captain Jack Sparrow, my favorite.....

We stopped in the Bahama's....


Ate warm chocolate chip cookies and milk in bed every night.

We had to have a drill in case something happened....

My son and nephew's first time on an airplane.
We had so much fun, the best time. Yes... we went on the Disney Cruise. :o)
