Make-A-List Monday June-August 2018

June-August 2018

Wow...
I haven't done a Make-A-List Monday blog post all summer.

I've been VERY busy this summer getting ready for my daughter, Shea's, wedding.  I will have so much to share about the wedding that took place on 8-10-18, in the near future.   I decided to enjoy the experience of the wedding, rather than taking a lot of pictures.  I've been slowly gathering pictures from family and friends.  Hopefully we will have the photos and videos from the professionals soon, so I can include some of them in my wedding blog post. 

We celebrated Father's Day in June.  This is a candy dish I made for my Dear Father-in-law.

I have been walking A LOT this summer.  Here are some of the pictures I took on my travels...

Storm Damage...

Wildlife...

Maurice Hawk School construction...


I took a tumble one day.  I tripped over this slightly raised 
sidewalk.

A quick trip to my doctor proved no broken bones, thank God, but I did break my cell phone screen and pull my hamstring. 

It's been exactly one month since I fell and I still have a lot of pain in my hamstring.  I'm powering through it though, as I continue to walk 5-8 miles almost every day.

Here are a few pictures of JT and Kaela's pup, Thira...just because she is so cute :)

I made some thank you cards for Shea's Maids of Honor.  I hope they like them!

(I'm sorry I scratched out the notes I wrote, but they were personal.)

My Cricut has been keeping me busy when I'm not with Ryder, Logan & Jace or quilting.

My first Mandala...

My first t-shirt, made for my husband, Don, for his birthday...

Some monogram stickers made for Shea...

With her new monogram.

A zentangle for my tote bag... 

This was so much fun to make...and so much weeding!  I love the teal glitter HTV!  :)


Now, onto my list...

1.  Piece, quilt, bind and label at least one "Quilts for Kids" quilt.  Attend the QFK workshop at Pennington Quilt Works.

Here are the two blocks I completed this summer...

4.  Work on TONS of Cricut wedding projects for Shea and Ricky's Wedding.

I have been very busy this summer making all kinds of things for the wedding.  I am going to do a separate blog post with pictures of all the things I made and pictures from the wedding.  Here is a sneak peek at one of the signs I painted.

5.  Attend Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, PA.  Participate in a Bonnie Hunter class.

We had a wonderful time on our annual trip to Hershey. 

 I have a lot of pictures of

 Ryder & Logan at Hershey Park in this

 July Awesome Adventures post.  These are pictures from my quilting class and some of the quilts that were on display.

I spied Bonnie Hunter's car in the parking lot at Hershey Lodge.  You can't miss that license plate!

QUILTS!!!

We had beautiful weather while we were in Hershey.

But a few days after we left, there was severe flooding in the area.  

It was so bad that the amusement park had to close for a few days.  

We were very lucky to be able to get our mini vacation in before the rains came.
