Here is the latest quilt I finished. It was a wedding gift and turned out the largest quilt I've made. 85 x 105 total. I wish I could have gotten a better picture before it was gifted but there was no place to lay it out. This picture is on a queen bed. The pattern is called Shadow Box.</div>

Debbie and I made the trip to Ohio to meet my newly found sister. Jill and her hubby Mark turned out to be some of the sweetest people you could hope to know. To find out that you are related to her is nothing short of a blessing. Isn't she just cute as a bug. <br />

I was discouraged as it needs a software update before I can begin using it but here's it's pictures as it arrived and again set up. <br />

Same old same old on taxes. Nature of the beast. We did have an awesome Easter with our combined Edwards, Anderson and Carter family. Here's a cake I made for the kids. <br />

I finally had the house painted by Mike Apel Painting. Instead of some windows with shutters and some not, we now have them all the same, no shutters. Gone is the peach house with 3 different color window sills. We said good bye to a peach house with tan siding on the add on. Now I have one house painted a beautiful taupe with smokey chocolate trim. It looks awesome with the green roof. The front steps are going to be black and the front door will have a black with white trim awning. Hope to do those last 2 things next week. Here are some before and afters. I have been truly blessed, that is for sure.<br />

Thank you Lord for tax season over time pay. I added a new outdoor rug and chair cushions for the front cabana. The sheets are for the cats. <br />

Matt finished up my grill area, built me a fire pit and seating area and even added in an outside shower for when you're working in the yard. Here are some finished pictures. The white fencing behind the chairs not only made the seating area a little more fancy but it blocked the opening in the gate. I cannot even remember how many bags of rubber mulch this took.<br />

Matt has been such a blessing to me. He added a bamboo fence over my existing chain link so not only do you have the drab ugly fence but no more trashy neighbors, dirty alley, etc. I wish I had bought the fence years ago. He also built me a grill area, removed all the old mulch and laid down the rubber mulch. Here's some pictures of hte new fencing and the grill area before and after. <br />

There's a very nice lady across the street with two amazing young boys. We got to know them better at Thanksgiving and mom was gracious enough to allow me to buy them bikes for Christmas. All the boys know is they came from Santa. Mom say they loved them. Here's Robert who was kind enough to help me go get them and bring them home. <br />

So I decided as a gift to myself , would buy me a hot tub for Christmas, so I did. It was to arrive January 10 so the backyard needed to be redone. I hate that service alley and nasty people behind me so I consulted my go to guy, Matt Carter and he did some amazing work for me. Here's the little bit that I did. The side fence with the climbers got way out of hand so I cleaned them off completely. Here's before and after including Shannon and Little Dog<br />
