Sunday

Good Sunday morning! Well, my two older kids are leaving for camp this morning. I know they are really excited, and probably didnt sleep much last night! LOL This is a much looked forward to event each year. This will be their last time at this camp... junior high... next year they will be "thrown in with the sharks" in the high school camp! LOL The high school retreat is such a huge change from this one.. it's life changing. My oldest son came back from CIY (Christ in Youth) completely and totally humbled, in awe, and in the Spirit! I think I can honestly say that week was a paradigm shift for him.. Both Em and Bay could have gone to that one this year... but I just didnt think they were ready, maturity wise, just yet. They're still all about silly pranks and fun games! LOL But I know they will come back with a renewed sense of excitement and love for their Savior!! :) I have been a total slacker the last few days. Have been sooo tired, and can't seem to focus on any one thing for very long. Have had ants in my pants, and in my noggin apparently! My darning foot arrived yesterday - was soo excited!! And I went and bought backing and batting for the quilts. Now to get my backing for the small one put together and pin it all up and give this a whirl! I'm hoping to spend a little time down in my sewing room puttering with that, and also hoping to pull out my rug and the wool mess that goes with it, and plop down on the couch and hook a bit, while enjoying a Bones marathon! We'll see how that goes. LOL Good intentions and all that... I also need to get some things packaged up and ready to send out on monday morning. And that seems to take ALL day.. but if i can get them done, THEN I can sit and create a little! Looking forward to church this morning. But not looking forward to the kids leaving afterward! I always miss them sooo much while they're gone. But knowing how much fun they're having helps me to get over it pretty fast! LOL Hope you all have a wonderful sabbath day, and enjoy your day of rest!! Bright blessings, Bren :)

It is tough to let them go, but great when they get back. I hope you spend some time for yourself and your new foot works out for your quilting.

Sounds like the kids will have a great time at camp... I know my memories of church camp are still some of my dearest...and I can still sing the Christian rock songs I learned there (we're talking about 35 years ago...)

I'm planning my "Revenge of the Prim Stripes" quilt...will even do the piecing on the machine, no out my comofrt zone allowed...

Sounds like you will have more time to quilt/darn. Did you hear what Jacque is very honored to be doing for the hospital in Eau Claire?? I do believe she feels very honored.
