It's already August at jingerbread ranch...

Summer has gone by too fast for me. I've been doing some website work for a friend who owns a quilt shop, and it seems I've spent all my time putting her inventory online. It's looking pretty good, but now I'm going to attempt to get the shop on Facebook, Twitter, AND start a Blog for the business!!! Can't even keep up with my own! I'm doing better on FB as I've made it my Homepage so it's the first thing I see when I boot up. Can't ignore all those posts! So I spend as little time there so I can get to my emails. Now, if only I could figure out how to have FOUR homepages...lol!

My S/O and I will be making a trip to Yellowstone on Monday. It's an exciting time for us...going back to the scene of the crime...we were both working in the park for Hamilton Stores for the summer, our eyes met...and the rest is history. For the last 17 years we have made a yearly trek to YNP, not just for the memories, but the beauty of the park never gets boring for us. We haven't tired of the hiking, food, sites, animals, you name it, we love it all!! Monday can't come fast enough for me!

As for the quilting and sewing part of my life, I've accomplished a lot more than I thought I would. Decided to put everything away that was lying about and get just one project out at a time. If I only get all the blocks finished so that all that is left is for me to sew them into a top, then I'm happy with myself. It has worked for me so far. Have finished up the 48 blocks I need for a Kim Diehl quilt, 25- 12.5" star blocks for a Glenna Hailey quilt, caught up on my BOM that I sponsored for my small group of quilting friends here in MT, finished and sent off various blocks for my online quilting group, and I am presently working on a panel quilt for our living room wall. They're still considered UFO's, but I'm further along with them than I thought I ever would be. I still have a cupboard full of this and that, but eventually, I'll git 'er done!

Will leave you for now...here's a picture of the Bear Panel I'm working on ...
