My son is 11 today!
Happy birthday Buddy Bear.
He’s a GREAT big Brother 
I remember having him by emergency C-Section, how horrified I was and also being a new mom I had never taken care of a baby before.
(I had a placental abruption)
He is my MIRACLE boy…. if it wasn’t for the C- Section we could have both died….. AND he not only survived but he’s really SMART and such a great kid! LOVE you BUDDY!
Okay, better stop or I’ll start crying….
On to quilting stuff 
Here’s a star block for the star block swap I’m hosting
Here’s Ahhhh #48
and here’s the missing #45
So I only have one more to go to finish #49 (I’m NOT doing #50- it’s just NUTS) I already have over 50 done though as I did some duplicates of the first few ones.
I’m doing a secret project for Tonya with these, wait and see
Meanwhile the little trouble maker is back to SORTING my fabrics
And playing the Keyboard, she knows how to turn it on and turn on a “beat” or an automatic song and then wiggles her little butt in rhythm to the music.
Then the other day I saw Teresa made some fabric covered boxes
and we started chatting back and forth on email and I remembered I had a book from Denmark about fancy small fabric covered boxes, where I might have made 1 or 2 when I was a teenager, so I looked for the book and didn’t find it BUT then I remembered I had photo copied it from the library way back then- I know I’m BAD…..
I took a few pics of the pages to show you- can’t find the book online now.
look, it even has a star quilt block on the top, how NEAT!
uhhh… I want to make some

Happy Birthday to your son, I had an emergency C-Section too, they are scary. Your fabric sorter and musical entertainment is a cutie.
