I just have to share  a few more pics of my babies!

  This is my grandson Colton  9 mos He was standing looking out and I couldn't get him to turn around and look for a picture so I went outside and took this  through the door! Sooo cute!!  If you look you can see his two little teeth!

The twins and Colton came Thurs night and Rachel came Fri aft. They went home this aft. Love my grandbabies of all ages!!! 

Tip of the Day - Using Tacks Instead Of Pins

I use a tack instead of using a pin. I put a single stitch across the seam where two seams match and you are going to be sewing across there. Then I also tack at the edge where the two fabrics match. I think a tack works better than a pin. Fabric still can move a bit with a pin but not with a stitch or tack.

Here you can see I used a tack to sew across the seams where the seams meet or match. This will keep the seams from moving and being off when you are done.

This is two Blocks face to face and I tacked on each edge and in the middle. This is a Star Point Block so I matched the seams in the middle and tacked them to anchor them so they won't move. I will sew across the tacks from left to right and you won't have to take them out. Always put your tacks where you are  going to sew the seam and not on the top. If you put them on top you will have to take them out when you are done.



This is two sets of two blocks sewn together. When sewn this will be a 4 patch. I tacked on the edges and I tacked in the middle where the seams match up. It may take a bit of time but  I think it is well worth it.

When I get ready to do this step I thread several needles and have them ready to use.

Hectic Day!

Today has been a hectic day! I am used to a quiet household and/or when the kids are here they are able to take care of themselves. When I have had baby Colton before he was containable. Now he is crawling and walking around things and refuses to be contained for long! LOL  It was a constant making sure he hadn't found something to put in his mouth that he wasn't supposed to have! I vacuumed my floor and swept with a broom and then swept twice with a swiffer broom He still found things I somehow missed!! But he is a love! I was holding him and he turned and grinned at me and planted a big wet sloppy puppy kiss on my cheek! I loved it! He will be 9 mos tomarrow.  So I have Colton and his twin brothers Daymon and Devon who are 7 and their cousin - my daughter's daughter- Rachel who is 9.  She has to take shots for Russel Silvers Syndrome (RSS )
and I hate to give shots!! But I struggled through it. She knows exactly what to do and did all of it but putting the needle in her arm. RSS is a growth disorder and the shots are hormone shots to help her grow. She will never be more than 4 ft 8" and that is probably more than she will get to.

Anyway here are some pics we took last night and today

Colton dusting with a sock! LOL

Me and Colton

Of course I am not getting much done but keep up with the kids! Especially Colton. He is almost walking so I wouldn't be surprised to see him walking by the time we see him next month.

Have a good evening everyone!    Rhonda 

  

Grandkids!!

Today I have 3 of my grandsons coming to stay til Sunday. Devon and Daymon are twins and they will be 8 in November. Then their little brother Colton will be 9 mos old on Sat. I try to have them one weekend a month so I get to spend time with them and they will have grandma and papa memories. We love to sing songs and tell stories and be silly. Devon has gone pc crazy! He has always been an intellectual kid and loves puzzles and games. Daymon on the other hand is more into cars and trucks and music and loves to be silly!! They are fraternal twins and are as opposite as day and night. But they still have that twin bond even tho they fight alot. They prefer to go their own way each but they also still see themselves as a unit.

Baby Colton is a love! He loves to cuddle. He is our youngest grandchild tho we have great grands and are expecting a fourth greatgrand in Dec. A great granddaughter named Serenity.  Colton will be 9 mos this sat. He loves to try to keep up with his older brothers! LOL

Then tomarrow after school my granddaughter Rachel will be here to play with the boys. She is looking forward to seeing them as it has been 2 months since they have been together. She has been here with her brothers but not with the twins. So I know they will have a good time this weekend. I love to listen to them play. They are so much fun to listen to.

I plan to take lots more pictures this weekend so I will have updated pics to share soon!

Wishing everyone sunshine and laughter!!
