Great News!

I've been busy at my daughter's school lately.  I have started writing grants for the school.  I am pleased to announce that my first grant was rewarded! YEA!  Victory for the teachers and students!  Leap Frog Tag Reading Systems were purchased for all of the K-1 classes!  YEA!

I just finished writing my second grant for a much larger want- computers!  Hopefully, this too will be rewarded!

On the sewing front.  I have two wonderful God Children who haven't had an 'updated' quilt since they were born.  The girl chose the colors black, silver and red.  The boy, chose anything with HD motorcycles.  I have waited until the last minute on these.  They have to be complete before June 1.  Glad to say they are now at the quilters! I forgot to take completed pictures :0.  I will take completed pictures when they come back!

For the girls quilt I sewed a jelly roll race.  I used two jelly rolls to get a lap size quilt.  It was fun, quick, with a great look.  I then appliquéd on different sizes of red flowers.

For the boy I used a friendship square.

This quilt too ended up being around a lap size.  From far away it IS a busy quilt with flames going different ways, but the end result was very 'boy'.

On the garden front my azaleas have started blooming!  LOVE!

It is SO GREEN here, there have been several storms over the last week and coming again next.  The rewards everything is blooming and growing!

On a personal note, I finished my first 5K!  Wahoo!

Have a great week~ here's hoping a slower pace will find me soon?
