I'm just not a blogger.

So I've realized, and yes it's taken me a while to realize this, that I'm just not a great blogger.  There are so many other things that I'm great at though and when I start being hard on myself for the things I'm NOT great at, I have to remind myself of the things I AM great at. One of those things is being a mom.  I love being a mom.  I love the day to day responsibility of making sure these kiddos are happy, healthy, and thriving.  I love to see them grow and learn new things. I love the satisfaction of knowing that often times I am the one who taught them that new thing.  I love how my son buries his nose into my arm to take in my scent and when he's upset it calms him down.  I love when the baby does something cute, and she knows it, she flashes us a big toothy cheesy grin and makes us all laugh.  And I love how my oldest daughter is growing into a young lady and wants to be like me.  I absolutely love and adore my husband.  He is my rock and my best friend.  And I think, because he tells me all the time, that I'm a great wife to him. I make the world's best chocolate chip cookies.  Don't believe me?  Just ask everybody.  I'll make you some one of these days if you stop by.  In fact, my husband thinks that every finished quilt should come with some of those great cookies.  Also, I'm a great longarm quilter.  I enjoy every short minute I have to do it. 

That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it until I'm a grandma and then I'll slightly modify it.  I'm not a great blogger but every now and then I'll stop by and update it.  Sorry to all my customers who have lost faith in my blog.  I don't promise anything for now but hopefully soon I'll be able to add it my list of things I'm great at.

Here is a quilting/sewing tip:
After you clip all those little threads put it on your shoulder, and then when it starts piling up throw the whole wad in the trash.  It keeps your work space free of threads and makes clean-up a cinch.  Happy quilting!
