April showers bring May flowers

So I made these for my April visiting teaching handout.  I put flowers on the bottom but I took the picture before I put the flowers on the bottom.   Simple yet fun.  The message I made up, to go with the lesson and mini quilt, while I was in the shower.  Hee Hee shower.  Most of my better ideas have come when I  am in the shower.  The whole thing took about an hour and a half from thought to completion.  I like quick projects.  Happy Spring!

Valentine door hangers

Here is what I made for the ladies we visit teach.  They turned out great.

I used my valentine family pattern and made little heart door hangers.

OK.  I am really having a hard time finalizing the quilt that I have been working on for the new reserve center.  The units are not responding to email requesting there shoulder patch.  But I finished the national guard recruiting shoulder patch.

I also finished January Visiting teaching quilt.

It is the time of the year for Thanksgiving.  I spent the last few days making a small wall hanging for the ladies that I visit teach.   A couple of years ago I bought a thanksgiving place mat after the season.  Their was only one so I figured I could make some to match later.  We I didn't make the place mats so I used part of the picture and made these wall hangs.  Cute huh. 

It was my birthday yesterday and my husband took me to see Couples Retreat.  Yes it was funny, and it showed all the couples getting back together in the end but I thought that the sexual content was a bit heavy.  I think to many people forget that their are consequences of their actions when the are making decision that effect others.  They are only thinking of themselves and for getting the needs of their spouse.  At the beginning of the film they spent a lot on this and made it look as if their was nothing wrong with this.  Marriage is hard enough with society pulling us in every direction.  Marriage is all about a partnership and you are either making each other happy or miserable.   In the end they seemed to have learned some valuable lessons.
