I'm back!!!

So sorry to leave you all hanging, I've been at my parent's house in Louisiana for 3 weeks helping my Mom get unpacked and set up in their newly renovated home! Katrina was not nice to them. A huge tree fell on their house and left a gaping hole in their roof. In addition, 72 trees fell in their yard! Of course, they landed on everything - the garage, the sheds, the trailer, carports...you name it, it was flattened. So, they remodeled their home and the inside is almost finished! I helped her unpack boxes and put things away, placed furniture and made curtains. It was so fun and her house is beautiful! I miss you Mom!

I have so many things to tell you ! First, the most important news of all, we are having TWO GIRLS! You don't even know how excited we are for this news! This will be the first girls in our family in 34 years! Oh, yes! We are on pink overload! Annie is growing around the middle every day! She looks so cute! Very soon we will be going shopping for baby furniture! Two cribs and a dresser! Plus, very pink accessories. We are going to have so much fun! Can you tell I am excited?

I finished three applique blocks while I was visiting. The Home Sweet Home #4 and two Vintage Valentine blocks. I also found the perfect fabric for my bedroom curtains. I bought 18 yards of it! I also bought 6 yards of a companion fabric. I'm going to get on those right away, since we have lived in our house for 7 years and the only curtains I have done are in the quilting room!

I'll be back soon with pictures and more news!
