thank you all for playing!

btw we have 5 weeks before we move. oh and please don't ask "where?" cause we haven't really narrowed that down yet, all we know is that someone is buying our house and we're leaving the end of may. possibly to our townhouse in provo?
yes, yes...uncertainty and me do not get along, husband keeps saying i'm making divots in our carpet with all my walking back and forth i'm doing while worrying. :/
have a good weekend...i'm going to try to stay busy.
we'll talk soon

V and Co: in Quilts and More Magazine

hey there! sorry so quiet over here. we had family from L.A. here and we had "spring break" (i write it in quotations because it snowed and rained most of the time. and when it wasn't snowing or raining there was wind. and sometimes the snow/rain/wind would come all together.)
yay. *laced with sarcasm*
needless to say the kids and i were housebound most of the time and we had a jolly good 'ol time trying not to want to rip each other's faces off by the end of the "vacation".
happy to say they are now back in school. and i'm just so grateful that summer vacations are nothing like spring vacations, and we get to go to some kind of water facility every day so we can be happy tired people by the end of the day. and no one wants to scratch anyone else's eyes out by the end of it. :) yes i can't wait till summer!

now, fun stuff to talk about...


i have a simple quilt in this summer's edition of Quilts and More magazine.
paired with some doilies, and monochromatic fabrics i think this would be fabulous for the new mom, and baby to be. i think simple elegance when i look at this quilt.
my quilter was Felicia Graves (long arm quilter)
the fabric is "stone" by moda fabrics in their bella solids
and the cream is bella solids as well.
the cream doilies were found either at micheal's or walmart, but how fun would it be if you had time to go to second hand stores to check out their selection?

then pair it up with an adorable little onesie embellished with a doily as well to seal the deal.
:)

tomorrow we have a giveaway :)
i'll be over here: trying to pack up our house/get rid of things/trying to sew in the middle of everything/oh my goshing there's only two weeks till market...
if you need me.
we'll talk soon.

hmmm and speaking of iphones...
lets talk about autofills shall we?

i like autofill because sometimes i don't know how to spell a word and if i type in something close to it...voila! autofill saves the day.

autofill has also substituted words for what i was trying to write with completely different words that by no means was what i was trying to type out.
i get a little chuckle here and there when it comes out funny or silly. you never know what you are going to get.
and sometimes i get a little too funny inappropriate autofill suggestions that thankfully i catch and laugh to myself about before i send it off to the recipient.

well until last night.

oh let me tell you.

so i was texting with my friend about walking in the morning on my regular phone (that i swear was made in the early 90s) so it wasn't easy. so i told her i was going to get on my iphone that was replacing my old phone due to the ATT take over of altell. we will have service mid may (yay me!) and so i used my iphone to continue our convo there. towards the end i sent her this last email obviously without proof reading it.

"yeah i have a phone call at 8:30 i have to be here for, so if we can do 6:30 that would be sweet. ;) um yeah rectum will be super easy when i get my phone actually working on may 12th!..."

i swear i wrote "TEXTING" and not "RECTUM"

she answered that she was a little confused.

my stomach sunk after i realized i had actually sent that...she can handle it but oh my gosh, what if it was to someone i didn't really know well? or worse...what if it was to like my mom. wait my mom doesn't own a computer...you know what i mean though.
anyways we laughed real hard on it after the fact.

apparently there's a whole site dedicated to this kind of stuff.

BE WARNED if you are completely caught up on repentance steer away from this site...autofill sometimes gets a little on the crude side of things.
now if you are on the "i need to repent soon" mode, go ahead and check it out. i always seem to be on the a little bit "unholy" ground so i got a huge laugh out of this...but clearly i was on my knees after my fun.
edited:(okay not going to link to it because uh...some of the entries are a little too crude for me. i saw the mild versions and when i went to the actual site there is no "bleeping" sooo yeah...even i have limits...)

lets just say i'll be super careful with texting/emailing from now on with the autofill stuff! i def don't want to say anything that would make my grandmother blush!
