It's been crazy busy in our house the last few weeks. Here are a few things that have been happening. Mom finished the custom nautical quilt and the customer loved it. Mom had picked up some Christmas tree ornaments to make from a guild member also. Dad loved them so much that he kept hinting at mom to make some for our tree as well! So, she's been busy at night with those since they're made entirely by hand. (They're these cute, little snowmen with scarves and hats with pompoms on them. I really love helping with them, especially the cutting and arranging the hanging ribbon pieces. I'm quite good at picking them up and carrying them off to be organized. Mom seems to think I'm taking them to play with...the nerve of her sometimes!)
Mom's "new" bad knee (left side) finally got so bad she had to have surgery on it this past Tuesday. She's recovering well, although it's taking a bit longer to be completely off those horrible sticks she's been bounding around on. Apparently, longer than her vet wanted her to be. That's okay, though. She's been so busy lately that I feel it's good she's being forced to rest for a week. Soon she'll be back at work. The first thing on her agenda, work-wise, is to finish the t-shirt quilt she was going to make together with a friend (who can no longer participate in the construction of her quilt). Mom's still very excited about doing this as memory (she's made several of these for friends and family) quilts and t-shirt quilts are becoming some of her favorite quilts to make. Of course, these are a type of a side business for her as her main one is still finishing quilts with wonderful, professional quilting.
Which leads me to what this "Quickly" Post was supposed to be about: We've finally got our own website! Of course it's called Pumpkin's Quilt Corner, like the business. It's website address is: www.pumpkinsquiltcorner.com and the new email address is: pumpkinsquiltcorner@yahoo.com. Mouthfuls, I know, but I insisted! Everyone has to know who's business it is they're contacting, afterall (and I don't just mean mom's!). At any rate, this blog is most likely going to be moved to the website. Most of the previous posts will probably stay here as an archive if it proves to be too time consuming to move everything. It will be awhile before the website is up and running, but it's being heavily concentrated on since mom can't stand, literally. Hopefully she'll have the basics of the website up in a week or so.
So, until next time (hopefully at our new home) remember, paws are best used for quilting!
