New Things to Take Up My Time

I am learning a new skill--Facebook. My younger daughter has a brand new adorable baby boy and is posting pictures on Facebook. Of course I want to be able to see any and all pix of Jack, so I now am also on Facebook and it's a little different but fun! I had resisted going on when invited before because all things like that take time, and I sometimes spend too much time on the computer as it is, instead of quilting tops that people will graciously give me money for. But Jack is worth the effort and I am glad that I am doing it. Some people play games and do all sorts of things on their sites. I think I will do well to post occasional pictures and comments.

Jack himself is going to take up some new time and that is totally delightful. Joe and I can't wait to babysit. We get our first chance at our house this weekend. Our older grandchildren are looking forward to Jack sharing their traditional Saturday night sleepover. I don't think his parents are quite ready for that, but his mommy did help me get me a packnplay and a bouncy chair, and we look forward to using them.

Another new time taker upper is actually an honor. I have been chosen as the Featured Artist 2010-2011 of the Heart of Ohio Quilters Guild. I was both surprised and pleased and yet, OMG, as I know it will be some work to get ready for some special events, especially the Quilt Show in October, 2011. But, honestly, it's wonderful to be honored by my peers.

I closed the shop for the two weeks around Jack's birth and then he came early so I actually have been in and out and not officially open for almost three weeks. I am going to get back into regular hours next week and get busy.
