And so it begins...
I've come to the conclusion that, despite my best intentions, I'm just not good at keeping friends and family updated with our life. Okay- so here goes nothing! Let's see, what's new with us? I'm very much looking forward to this Saturday when we have a garage sale. There are so many "piles" in our house in various places and I just need them to be gone. I've come to realize that I'm trying to hold on to too many thing from when the girls were younger. I don't have very many things saved from when I was a kid and so I think I'm overcompensating. A lot. I'm okay with keeping papers/artwork from school. That's not the problem. The problem lies in the amount of books, games, etc. I really need to thin it out. Oh, did I mention the t-shirts? I had this hairbrained idea to make t-shirt quilts for the girls from all their shirts over the years from sports, school, summer camps, church, etc. Only I don't know how to begin the quilting process. I know that having someone make them is very expensive and so I will have to try to do something myself with them. Hmm.. will have to think on that one a bit.

Jean, enough is enough, you really need to learn that "disposable diapers" means that you are supposed to throw them away once they are used.
I think the quilt idea is cute. I think you would need to get backing and sew them on to that. Susan Hare used to quilt, you could ask her what to do.

P.S. THROW OUT THE USED DIAPERS!
Okay, now it is my turn to stalk you and hold you accountable for updates, right? Somedays it is still quite the effort for me, but as you can see, I have taken to writing about just about anything these days.
Good luck this weekend at the garage sale - we had one in May but really could stand to have another one right now too. Hope you can purge a lot out of your house like you want to - it does feel really good to start letting go of "stuff".

Hey Jean
Mom made the boys t-shirt quilts. She would be glad to tell you how she did it. I also have one that you can look at. They are really cool. Know what you mean about keeping stuff. We are in that process now,trying to clean since we got the carpet. Yuck not fun.I heard Trish changed her blog addy but I don't have that one. Guess I'm not her fav aunt anymore.(joking Trish).Hope you make lots of mula.
