Once a Year Blog

First off, these are a few comics that I drew of Tennyson and Lizzy's cleaning adventures. A few weekends ago Becky, Noah, and I all went down to Castle Dale for a little fun.
You don't know fun until you listen to a conversation between Ten and Liz about Tennyson's Jedi Cleaning Services.. Let's just say brown Snuggie, and eight foot long scarf don't mix.


These are their stories...


First comic:
Tennyson scrubbing the floor, sweating bullets, she asks: "Lizzy is this clean enough?"
Lizzy's response: "Do you think it's clean enough?"
Defeated, Tennyson replies: "Nevermind"
Lizzy: "You chose the wrong profession if you don't know what clean is"

An Hour Later
Tennyson says: "Whoa, this dish is really dirty!"
Lizzy: "That's because I don't have a cleaning lady that knows how to clean."


If you want to know what the second comic says you'll have to go down to Castle Dale and visit..

Well, these past few months have been...let's just say blah. It's my last semester of school and I am more than ready to be done with all of the homework. My classes are all pretty good this semester, I've just lost the excitement of listening to lectures.

So...I have now started sewing. I have made many quilts, most of which I can't show because they are gifts and I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

This is a small stack of some of my projects. Thanks to Mom I have very cute fabric and ideas.

This quilt I have done all my own. The fabric I chose reminds me of Grandpa's house for some reason. I'm thinking it is because of the green carpet in the front room.




It's still an ongoing process..hopefully I can get it done by May.. If only I could whip them out daily (like someone else I know)

This is a quilt I made for my roommate Jami. She is having a baby in May. I made some burp clothes too but I forgot to take a picture of those.




Other than school and work I read Sister's Quilts and, Idaho Farmer in Ethiopia. I look forward to those blogs like you wouldn't believe. I even bookmarked them, and I never bookmark anything. Shelley you're one crazy woman. I can't even imagine life over there. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us!

Maybe you have a career as a cartoonist ahead of you. I'm liking to hear about all your quilt projects. You must be very busy with last days of school and all your quilts. Hope to see graduation pictures soon.

Its too bad Brooks had to eat frosting he didn't like. Your quilt is really cute, and I'm glad you are getting excited about crafts. Good luck with the end of your college life. I'm jealous.

Miranda, just glad I can help put some excitement into your oh so mindane life. If you're good, I'll send you my favorite goat recipe.

Jami said...

Me + you need to get together sometime so you can teach me to sew! Oh yeah, yesterday I was at Deseret Book and I saw a quilting machine! Whoa.

P.S. Burp rags and quilt are all ready to go when baby Daxton gets here! You are amazing!

You didn't say you liked red velvet! We could have had it for my birthday. I didn't get my pound cake OR my red velvet cake. I requested both. Though, I suppose it would have made me nauseous then. Now, I don't have a gallbladder to put me in excruciating pain when I eat cake.

Miranda and Brooks Thanks for coming for Tana's Birthday party. Brooks, you'd better get the blue truck over here to be inspected within the next two weeks. MOM

Stacy said...

Happy belated bday to Brooks. I love all of your projects. Whit said you would be willing to come up to help with the kids. Believe me, Josh need all the help he can get. I need to know that my kids are fed, atleast the younger ones. I know he won't do any laundry or dishes, and no telling what the tiolets would look like when I got back, without help. Just so you know Esme is a work of nature. You can't turn your back. I leave on June 1, and return on June 10. What will I do without my family for so long.

Ben, Tana, B.A., and Dirk said...

Love the quilt. I am here for the next week. Hope to see you two this week.

I was so excited to see your annual blog. You are almost as bad as me. I am trying to do better. I love your quilts. That little baby boy one is cute, cute. I have now started on a new quilt too. It is for no one in particular.
