the promised pictures

ok, so here are the pictures of the quilt top that I had finally finished! I used fat quarter from the ginger blossom line from Sandi Henderson.

And then the other picture is my jewelry stand. Love them. I didn't realize how many necklaces I had until I hang them all up. Like it so much more than just having them sitting in a box, all hidden away.

a new computer

well, our computer got another virus and we couldn't get it to start up again. So we decided it's time for a new one. We had issues for a couple of years with the old one, but were holding off on getting a new one. I guess this was the final straw. DH went out and got a Mac. Still trying to find my around it, after having only used PC's in the past. So far I'm just LOVING it!

I'm getting really nervous about starting work on Monday - I can't believe I'm going back to work on MONDAY!

another thing that I had really wanted was something for my jewelry - storage wise. I had seen these jewelry trees before and liked the idea. I was thinking about getting one last year, but again was holding off. Well, I went out to the Brighton store and got one, and while I was at it, I got something for my earrings too(camera's battery just ran out, will have top post pic. later) , and also a new bracelet. Which I absolutely LOVE, been wearing it since I got it!

I also made a quilt and finished it and I'm even happy with the outcome! I also finished a quilt top that I had started last year (will have to make a picture still)

the outcome! I also finished that quilt top I had made last year! YAY!

ok, ....

so maybe I think it's too early for Obama to get the Nobel Peace Price, but hey, why is everyone so negative about it. We should be happy for the guy. I feel like he is trying really hard - Bush had 8 years to fuck this country up, can we give Obama the same amount of time to get it right, PLEASE!!!!!! And them maybe some, some of the issues were already starting in the Clinton administration.
Ok, just really had to get this out, and just didn't want to put on my FB - too many issues with revealing your political points - I don't think anyone is really reading this anyway.
As a european I feel like Obama had done a hell of a job already getting the rest (well most) of it to respect the US and it's citizens again. And that is worth something to me. I know a lot of Americans give a SHIT about what the rest of the world thinks about them and that's what most of the world thinks of americans.
Ahhh, feel so much better now!
