I promise I've been sewing. It's just a little cumbersome to blog from my phone & that's where all of my pictures are. <br />
<br />
I once was great about posting to Flickr, which was easy to blog from. Then Flickr changed their platform up and it's no fun anymore. <br />
<br />
Everyone seemed to abandon Flickr & move to Instagram. Some were (probably still are) twittering along the way, but aside from a group that got together on Tuesdays to chat about quilting, I really couldn't get into Twitter.<br />
<br />
Instagram is great fun, though! I wish they had a groups component similar to Flickr, but the community is really active there, so I forgive them for lacking groups.<br />
<br />
Here is a small sampling of what I was up to in 2014...<br />

The day I was leaving, my sister and her 5 kids were on their way to spend time in Arkansas too, so I stayed a few extra hours to see them. A spur of the moment decision led to me bringing an extra kid home with me. In the middle of this picture is my sweet nephew, Jayden. He is between Wyatt & Owen in age. He will be 6 in October. He's hardly any trouble at all. The boys are mostly getting along fabulously. He will be here for another 18 days... 25 days total. My sister & I really want the boys to be able to know their cousins & have great memories with family. What better way than to spend some time together in the summer?</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616509063994869028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26624008.post-33614949408395724292013-06-02T22:00:00.001-05:002013-06-02T22:00:04.683-05:00For Pam in bee vintage<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8672589758/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8126/8672589758_d7ba6bc731.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8672589758/">For Pam in bee vintage</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/">bluevalleyquilting</a>.</span></div><p></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616509063994869028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26624008.post-80383371853951863572013-06-02T21:59:00.003-05:002013-06-02T21:59:54.825-05:00For Pam in Bee Vintage<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8671515351/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8534/8671515351_58a6388861.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8671515351/">For Pam in Bee Vintage</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/">bluevalleyquilting</a>.</span></div><p></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616509063994869028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26624008.post-68855184302604371782013-06-02T21:59:00.001-05:002013-06-02T21:59:42.155-05:00For Monica (buttoncounter) in bee vintage<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8672989486/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8120/8672989486_387c242d3a.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8672989486/">For Monica (buttoncounter) in bee vintage</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/">bluevalleyquilting</a>.</span></div><p></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616509063994869028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26624008.post-55362496509498560012013-06-02T21:58:00.001-05:002013-06-02T21:58:03.520-05:00For Emily<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8697062568/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8398/8697062568_9291997d3b.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/8697062568/">Untitled</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25806308@N00/">bluevalleyquilting</a>.</span></div><p>This one is for Emily in Bee Vintage.
