A Post That Doesn't Have a Title ;)

Here I sit, staring at a foreboding blank screen that is screaming at me to write something. And it's not that I don't have anything to write, I just don't know where to start!

I could write about my time in Nebraska (which happened to be three, very short months)... or the eventful months leading up to that... or about how to make a Wooden Spoon Splintered Milk Shake --compliments to my brother... or how after months of playing the piano day after day, I randomly forgot which end of the keyboard had the higher notes or lower. DUHH!! :)


So before I lose all of my readers (if I haven't already :P), I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and am, in fact, trying to get a post or two ready!! Until next time!

Sorry!

I am sooo sorry about not putting anything new on here for a while. :( I wanted to write something before Christmas but never did. The excuse? The same but has never been more true! Busy. And that doesn't even explain half of it! You may have guessed from reading a little bit of Britt's blog that it's been really hectic around here. I'll try to do better. And maybe, just maybe, after the holidays things will slow down a bit so I can post more. But you never know! :P
Happy New Year!

A New Fad of Mine

I told you that I was going to try to keep this updated and I didn’t keep my word. :( It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, I was just quite busy and it was a feat just to be able to get online once last week! Another reason for my absence was this… <<
I started peicing this quilt the beginning of last week and by Friday I was quilting the border. It’s the first quilt I’ve ever made and that’s one of the reasons it’s small (31 ½" x 30 ½"). The pattern is called Tulip Basket and I wouldn’t recommend it for a first quilt :P.

I had a few challenges with sewing angles and squares together. Next time I’ll pick something a little more basic :).

When I started quilting, I was literally "all thumbs" but now I think I’m getting the hang of it (barely) ;). And it’s starting to get addicting!

My friend also is working on a quilt. We didn’t know that the other was making a quilt at the same time the other one was (talk about great minds thinking-er sewing- alike)!

So if you all are wondering where I am, I’m probably sitting on my bed, pricking my fingers, and making chicken tracks all over my quilt. Happy Seams! :D

Oops!!

Dear me! I have neglected this blog terribly!!! I am really, really sorry! I don't have any excuse whatsoever, but I'll try to keep this up and going from now on. And I mean really try!!!

WRITER'S BLOCK! :( :P

I have been attacked by writer’s block AGAIN (or maybe I’ve just always had it :P)! :( I’m sorry for lack of life around here. I’m not even going to make up an excuse because there isn’t any logical one :P.

In 3 days I will see my new nephew (and everyone else in the Nelson household for that matter)!! I CANNOT wait!!!!! 72 hours seems like a long time to wait, but a short time to get ready for them :P. Pray for me so I don’t lose my head in all my excitement. ;)

“Hannah, You Need To Update!”

Those were some of the first words my big sister said when I answered the phone today. It has been a while since I’ve posted and I’m really sorry.

I told Court that I was nursing a severe case of writer’s block and she advised me to take some vitamin C and apple cider vinegar with garlic :). I wish that was all it would take to cure it.

What do you when you have writer’s block? If you have any suggestions please comment. I love comments!
