Livin' the Dream: July 2014
http://betty-the-blogger.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Guilin and the Li River. Because of flight delays leaving Shenzhen, it was nearly 2 am by the time we got to our hotel - The Lijiang Waterfall Hotel - in Guilin. Fortunately, they let us sleep in a bit and not have to start too early the next morning. A corner of our room at the Waterfall Hotel. View of the street below our hotel room window. In China, Guilin is considered very small, with a population of only 700,000. Our guide was Tao, and his English was excellent! One woman on our tour was traveling ...

Yesterday, I finally put Ryann's quilt in the mail! After months and months of stops and starts, of delays and interruptions (including having to pack away all of my sewing area to stage the house to sell) it is finally complete. I'm so happy with how it turned out and I hope she'll love it. Hours I spent making it = 66. Cost of the materials = $191.93. Love in every stitch = immeasurable! I had to stitch the first part of the binding at the dining room table. Since so much is packed away. We found a hou...

Livin' the Dream: December 2013
http://betty-the-blogger.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
For the first time in several years, we had all of our children and most of our grandchildren together for Thanksgiving. It was great! We actually couldn't all be together on Thanksgiving day, so we enjoyed dinner with our son, Bob, daughters, Laura and Susy, and their families plus Laura's in-laws. Then, on Friday night, we had pie (More than we could eat! The Saturday after T-day, Alice and Penny (Laura's twins) turned three, so, we also had cake with our pie — to celebrate. Mom died on Oct 25 and the ...

It's not always easy. but it is worth it! Tuesday, March 8, 2011. It's been way too long! Sorry for taking so long to update my blog. I have been neglecting both. Of my loyal readers. *laughs*. I've been busy at work. Getting better at InDesign and Illustrator. I am very comfortable with my Photoshop skills, so not much improvement there. Can anyone spot the Monk cameo?

It is worth it!: So Proud of my Little Nerd!
http://crenshawimages.blogspot.com/2011/12/so-proud-of-my-little-nerd.html
It's not always easy. but it is worth it! Saturday, December 3, 2011. So Proud of my Little Nerd! I was wearing this shirt, that I got off of woot. Bobby comes over and points to the pictures in order saying, "Apple.Ubuntu.don't know.that one is just there for the letter.Chrome.Sun and I don't remember that last one, but we use it at home.". I was rather impressed that Debian was the only logo that he was not familiar with. What an amazing boy I have! SkyOS is just there for the letter by the way).

It's not always easy. but it is worth it! Tuesday, July 26, 2011.

I thought I looked like one of the Sand People from Star Wars so I made it more so. On Thursday, I...

It's not always easy. but it is worth it! Monday, August 30, 2010. I am a huge Star Wars fan, so I had to see if I could use my developing Photoshop skills to make a lightsaber. Here are the results:. If you look all the way back to my very first blog. You can see the original edit. Where he is just standing there holding some chicken nuggets. I like this edit much better.

The Blocks are Complete. The quilt blocks are complete! I'm very happy with how they turned out! And, I've begun sewing them together. I'm guessing I have about 8 – 10 hours more work in order to have it ready for quilting. (Sewing on the sashing and border, squaring up the completed top, sewing, trimming and squaring up the backing, and cutting the batting to size) Won't be long, now. Woohoo! Light at the End of the Tunnel. This has been a real labor of love. I expected to mellow a bit more. But, no...

Livin' the Dream: January 2014
http://betty-the-blogger.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Christmas came and went and we had a good time visiting with family and friends. Our ward has a good-sized Empty Nesters group who get together once a month for FHE. We hosted the Christmas FHE this year and it was lots of fun. Our family (those who live in the area) had our traditional Christmas Eve buffet at Susy's house. Lots of food and opening of gifts. Heather and Mark invited us to their place after we left Susy's and we played a new word game. Enjoyed that! I think 2014 will be a great year!
