So for the sake of breathing a little life back into the old blog, here are some pictures of positive things that have been happening:
I made a quilt out of our old work pants (terrible picture, I know, my camera does not enjoy the indoor photography).
I made jam out of plums from a few trees out at PineTop. This was my first foray into jam making and it turned out very well (if I do say so myself, and I do).
And finally, my new quilting project. The pattern is "Depression Block", which seems appropriate. I'm using all purples and grays, and I think it's turning out pretty well. Having a project like this going gives me something to do with myself in the evenings, besides, you know, cleaning house or something dumb like that.
Thanks to anyone who still checks in occasionally, despite my neglectful ways.

Love the jeans quilt! The squares on your depression quilt are so tidy. I am having a personal excursion into sewing at the moment and have found it quite peaceful.
Good squeezes your way for the rest of 2008. No more suckage allowed!

I love the work pants quilt- very Gee's Bend. 2004 was my (latest) year of misery. Keep your chin up because 2005 rocked for me! Life seems to go in cycles and I think 2009 will be great for you and Fuzzy :)
I do check in regularly Gladey, you can always make me smile....
Sorry about your year ... I really like the quilts, hope they helped ...
