OMG .... I was tagged!

OK, I've been tagged. Since I don't really know many bloggers & the ones I do know were tagged already, I will just post the 7 random things about me.

1. My favorite song is "Melt with you" by Modern English. It's from the 80's and is now popular again so I hear it all the time, it's even in commercials on TV.

2. My grandfather was a furrier, as was his father. They had a shop in San Francisco on Geary. I used to help rip the seams of coats with my grandmother for alterations when I was a child.

3. I used to rollerskate competitively, figures & dance. I loved it so much I wish they'd bring it back, I'd love to teach it.

4. I don't truly have one favorite color .... I've never been able to decide which I like best. I don't have one favorite food either, too many to choose from.

5. One of these day's I'd like to go back to school to learn photography.

6. I fall asleep every time I try to watch a program at night on TV, I always have to record it to watch the end the next day.

7. I had my Bat Mitzvah at 41 yrs old, last June. I was an amazing experience.

It's been a week ... wow how time flies.

I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted. I guess I'm still getting used to this blogging thing.
Yesterday I washed up all the fabrics I purchased when my tsb was here. WOW, there was a lot of fabric, over 75 yards in all. It's now ready to be cut up and sewn back together into awesome quilts!
Today is just a relaxing Sunday. Laundry, grocery & a little sewing. My dd has her final basketball game and party later today. Take it easy! Catch ya later!

Monday!

Well, I'm pooped. I had a busy day. A few Monday errands to run with dd. She had today off from school. Then we spent a good part of the day with a friend of mine organizing her quilting stuff. That was a lot of fun. She had started quilting some years back but got frustrated with it. Our goal today was to sort out the projects and then pick one for her to work on. So tonight I'm sure she's sewing her "Jacob's ladder" blocks together. That project had been given to her as a UFO, her best friends mother had passed away a few years ago. And gave the boxes to her so she's going to finish piecing it so it can be quilted and given to her friend as a surprise. Isn't that cool?! I'll post pictures once she finishes the top.

My TSB goes home :(

Today my TSB flew home. I miss her already. We had an awesome time the last few days! Shopping, sewing and just hanging out. I can hardly wait till we get together again. Hopefully I can make a trip out there this spring to help/watch her quilt the quilt I made for my brother.

Later tonight my cousin is coming by to pick up the kids so hubby and I can have "date night". We're thinking about sushi and a movie......
