It is always a sweet surprise to look back at a month and see all that I have accomplished, and recount all of the joyful moments. February 2015 does not disappoint.
I finally got my much awaited upgrades to my longarm.
I finally got my much awaited upgrades to my longarm.
It was a bit of a messy process, but the staff from Linda's Electric Quilters of McKinney Texas were wonderful. I love my upgrades - new computer, complete with the latest version of Creative Studio, new wheels and rails, and hanger for my hardware to keep my floor nice and tidy.
As messy as that upgrade was it had nothing on the upgrade to our wifi. Oh my gosh what a circus. The wifi is faster and fairly awesome but it came at the cost of our land line phone. For some reason the phone company thought that we didn't want it any more and turned it off. Then they told us they couldn't turn it back on and give us our number back. Then they could give it back, but it would cost us $100. Then they could wave the fee, and give us our number, but it would have to go through digitally and be added to our wifi...oh and they couldn't do it for a week. All of that to point out what a blessing the staff at Linda's Electric Quilters really is and to thank the people at ATT for the quiet week we had with no phone service. I should probably also thank ATT for the upgrade to our TV service....we now get even more channels with programming that we don't want to watch, but hey, we get all of them now.
My last baby is now a licensed driver. No more car lines at school for me. I seem to get a lot more work done, but I do miss my time with my boy. Even so, it is right that he should have the opportunity to learn and practice driving.
I played a lot in February. There were 6 different occasions where I took the time to spend time with friends new and old. Why in the world I haven't been doing this all along I have no idea. This too has been a huge blessing. I'm now enjoying myself while I piece quilts - a phenomenon that hasn't occurred in a very very long time.
2013 Toes in the Sand BOM from The Fat Quarter Shop
(It was gifted to me for Christmas two years ago and I am just now playing with it.)
My oldest boy came home for a quick weekend. It was so fun to hug his big shoulders and stay up late (for me) talking with him.
We had a week of ice and snow - unusual for us, but it will bless the lakes and lawns when it melts eventually.....probably tomorrow....for today it is winter in Frisco.
All of that AND I quilted 13 quilts at Tops to Treasures.
How I fit all of that into 28 days is a mystery.

It sounds like you had a great month on all fronts. Too bad about the phone fiasco but it sounds like in the end it's a good thing. Our cell coverage can be spotty in our area still so we have to keep our landline even though we rarely use.
