my 9 patches and a gift from my boy:)

Do you ever have computer issues???? I did today and so this post is a HUGE victory!!;) My laptop is messed up and having big problems. Maybe I need a mac. I think their commercials are VERY funny so I would be tempted. Someone just told me they bought a mac because of those and they LOVE it!!! My brother-in-law swears by them. Oh well.
So anyway I've joined the band wagon and am doing the 9 patch quilt along with amandajean. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the orange one and am pretty happy with the other ones. Can you tell that I was working on an oh cherrry oh quilt???:)
I was doing a lot of running yesterday and the boys went to a friends house down the street and there was a garage sale. I came home to find this on the table with this note. I just LOVE that kid!!! He spent his 50 cents on me!! And he is always looking for money to spend on a new toy so I felt VERY loved and thought about. We are going to play after school!!:) Good times, good times! I do love games and he knows that! What a sweet heart! Have a fantastic weekend.

  2. I'm a fan of that orange one too! The 9-patches look great. I'm really enjoying making them.

    Also, I'd HIGHLY recommend the Mac. I have one at home and it's all we use at work. I love it. For some reason, they just run so much smoother.

  11. I have a wonderful little boy named Nolan, too!
    Last weekend he brought me flowers at work. He gives awesome hugs, too. If these are the caring, sensitive people of tomorrow, everything will be OK.

    Have a great weekend!
