In like a lion and out like a lamb?

A couple of things.  First of all it was kind of nice to be back at school today!  And, thanks to the weather gods, the rain held off enough long enough for us to get all the kids outside at lunch time.  Phew!  I don't know about the saying about March's weather.  I think we are heading out of March like a lion too.  With a heavy rain warning in place!

I also had a mind blowing moment when daughter reminded me, on the phone, that she is finished, finished, finished with her nursing degree as of April 4!!!!!!  I cannot believe it.  She will still have her registered nursing exam in June but otherwise she is done!  Our little baby is all grown up!
Daughter about 20 years ago!  She is just so darned cute!

Quilty mail arrived while I was away.  The most recent edition of Quilter's World has a really great article written by Jacquie Gering who blogs at Tallgrass Prairie Studio.  It is all about modern quilting.  Nice!  And speaking of quilting magazines.  I kind of like this one.  I was having trouble finding a magazine that I liked consistently and that I liked more than just one thing in the magazine.  So Quilter's World isn't bad.  It's just not perfect.  If I was in charge of the world, a quilting magazine would have more articles, more stuff about fabric, a focus on techniques and less patterns.  Which is really what blogs are like, aren't they?

I do love Quilt-y mail

This came today....
And I think I like it!  I have been buying the occasional quilt magazine and then my quilting Aunties gave me a bunch of magazines.  Thank you Aunties!  But I have not found a magazine that I like consistently enough to get a subscription.  But this one looks quite promising and I think I am going to step out on a limb and subscribe.

My hexagons are growing.  This happened while watching the auditions for American Idol last night.  I have to have something to keep my eyes off the TV because, let's face it, those auditions are often really hard to watch never mind listen to!  Husband had to look away and finally just went to bed because he couldn't bear it!  Hilarious!!!  So these are my American Idol hexagons.
