Project Update

Project one, block for our diocesan quilt...finished! (Although apparently I didn't get a good picture of it before I turned it in!)

A close up of the block center...




Project number 2, the current block for my Heartland Heritage Block of the Month...done!


Projects 3 and 4 are still in the works...I've turned the heel on my sock and I'm working on the foot and I've been appliqueing the first of the 3 blocks I want to finish...I have a feeling they won't all be done in time! And then we had a new project thrown in at the last minute...finding a car for Ellen in time for her to return to Providence for school. Her car has had a series of fuel pump problems and after replacing the fuel pump about 5 times it just finally died. So, she's now the proud owner of a Mazda Tribute. She was able to load all of her college stuff in the car and get back up to school safely...and we didn't have to take her!!! We'll be heading up to visit her before Labor Day.



One other project completed here...after 20 years of saying I wanted to get a real estate license and putting it off, I finally signed up for class! I start September 14th and class will be over by late November. The encouragement of a good friend can be priceless...

Oh, good luck! I'd buy a house from you. And what a cute little car. I love my Mazda. I loved my last Mazda too. I'm sad that Mazda doesn't make a proper minivan, since I've sort of outgrown their quasi-minivan and I don't care for SUVs. zoom zoom, Ellen!!

Good for you! It sounds like you're making great progress -- even on some really old goals!!! ;-)

The sweet Mazda Tribute fits Ellen to a T! Safe travels to her. ;-)
