i feel 8 1/2 months preggo instead of the 7 i really am. {*sigh*}
today is the 1st day of summer camp for the 2010 tackle season. {go bulldogs.}
i'm behind on all things quilty. {and all things not-so-quilty.}
cable tv is the griffith source of entertainment until further notice. {no joke.}
i feel like i haven't slept in a week. {or two.}
my camera is totally on the fritz. {son-of-a-nutcracker.}
& paula deen needs to take over as cook until after the baby is born. {*wink*}

but hey...at least the laundry is done. {thank god.}

rachel

cheers & jeers.

jeers:
well the flu is gone, but strep throat is here.
market is in 2 days & i'm now forced to stay home.
i'm really bummed out about it, but what can you do???

cheers:
i still have some awesome market stuff to show & tell though.
i'll share them later this week when things can be revealed.
exciting stuff. promise.

oh & this picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
i just like to look at it.

promises, promises.

so things have been really hectic here.
things like kiddos being sick.

things like an emergency root canal.

things like still unpacking.

*sigh*

the good news is my internet is on.

the bad news is my laptop won't pick up the connection.

i'm SO not a happy camper about it.

*sigh again*

so you know what they say:

"the best laid plans...yadda yadda yadda."

i have been slowly getting back in to the grove.

where did october go???

*geesh*

i just wanted everyone to know that i am alive.

my blog WILL be back in order asap.

that's a promise.

i'm going to get rude with my service provider come monday.

that's another promise.

and i still have lots to show & tell about market.

yet another promise.

i miss yall.

♥

p.s. the honey bun in the pic=a new moda bake shop goodie in the works.

{it's essence by sandy gervais.}

no worries.

*que bob marley*

don't worry...'bout a thing.

cause every little thing...is gonna be alright.

so i'm alive.

i'm getting reports of peeps freaking out due to my absence.

my blackberry is reflecting worried emails & texts.

not to mention the phone calls i've been getting.

{11 days=forever in blogland.}

no worries.

i'm okay.

promise.

some genius thought that moving around market time was a good idea.

that genius would be me. {& the hubby.}

*what the heck were we thinking???*

so i went to houston.

came straight home and moved.

and my new house is boxes upon boxes.

ewww.

oh and...

i have less than 9 days to have a secret project in another country.

that's right...another country!!!

it's NO where near being done.

what i can tell you is...it's bed sized.

*yikes*

i won't have internet at my house until monday-ish.

right now i am "borrowing" this connection.

it's either from a new neighbor or the middle school down the street.

so yeah...i better disconnect myself. lol.

i have SO much to show & tell.

and yes...i have tons o' stuff from market!!!

lots of goodies. lots of pics. lots of stories.

just please bare with me until i get this monster of a quilt made.

{& for my legal internet connection!!! haha.}

just know that i am alive.

and i miss yall like crazy!!!

in the meantime...i get emails on my blackberry.

so leave me some comments that'll make my heart happy.

{and distract me from unpacking!!! ewww.}

nothing but the truth.

well market is upon us!!!

i actually fly out in 9 days!!!

{yikes!!!}

i think it's pretty safe to say this...

blogging might be sporadic between now & market.

but what i will do is post some sneak peaks for yall!!!

sneak peaks of:

market projects.

moda bake shop projects.

secret projects.

everyday projects.

{maybe i'll be cool enough to actually post a real post too!!!}

just please don't give up on me.

i promise this is a temporary thing.

just wait until i post all those market pics!!!

fabric police lineup.

mrs. griffith...

know that none of these suspects can see you behind your screen.

please tell us...

with 100% certainty...

which one of these fat quarter bundles has held you hostage this past week.

was is suspect #1???
mezzanine by patty young for michael miller

was is suspect #2???
rouenneries by french general for moda fabrics

or was it suspect #3???
spooktacular by sanae for moda fabrics

*dramatic pause*

it was...
the general!!! suspect#2!!!
i'd now those french inspired prints ANYWHERE!!!
even in a snowstorm...at 500 feet away!!!
he kept mumbling something about a man named 'market' and how my number is up!!!

but don't let miss mezz & ol' spooky fool you!!!
they were in on it the WHOLE time!!!
they kept distracting me while the general was out of site.

a written excuse.

to whom it concerns:
please excuse rachel from blogging.
she's fighting a yucky sore throat & has 2 sick toddlers.
i recommend she'll be back on track come monday.

doctor p.s. i quilt

and i'm back!!!

well well well. here i am blogging from our new house. yayyy.
it rocks my socks off...seriously.

i have MUCH more quilting room.
:O)

let see, what's new with me...2 weeks is a long time to not write a blog. i seriously was having withdrawls. {stop laughing!!!}

i won some fabric from the wonderful mrs. pat sloan. AMAZING fabric i might add. so amazing that i ordered more. {oh yeah!!!} and along with that i ordered a book of hers too. and starting next week i will be happily tagging along in the 'crooked cabin' quilt along. fun stuff.

oh and did i mention that my new house is LESS than one block from a quilt shop.
i know you're thinking, 'shut up!' but seriously...there is. so i'm quiltin' good in the neighborhood.
tehehe.

AND i found out that my sister is having a baby boy on monday. yesterday i spent ALL day working on his quilt, and it's SUPER cute. i'll post pics soon. i promise.

so that's it for now. i missed yall.

more quilting space!!!

yayyy. we got the house we've been wanting. hi-5!!! and so i will be spending the next couple of days moving. sounds like fun huh??? i'm SO excited...our new house will give us SO much more room. {including more quilting space!!!} i'm still unsure as to when our internet will be hooked up at the new house, but i will try to stay in touch.

so until next time...happy quilting.
