My Summer Is Almost Gone!

Wow! This summer is flying by.  I have enjoyed every bit of it, but it seems like I have been gone more than I have been here.  I have done a lot of traveling to Texas.  I have been home all this week and I have enjoyed it sooo much!  I have actually been getting some things accomplished at home and at school.
My room is almost set up.  I have a bit more to place and go through.  When I go up to school I go through just a bit more each time.  I am starting to look forward to this year and I am getting a bit excited.

Table Runner

It has binding, but no eyes!

Yesterday I put the binding on the owl quilt.  Now it just needs 32 buttons for 16 pair of eyes.  I should of been collecting buttons earlier.  Dog gone it!  I got a Christmas present table runner finished except for the binding, which I picked up today. I picked up the binding for the set of place mats I am also working on.   I started on the quilt my sister asked me to make, but realized I didn't have some crucial pieces of material (the sashing).  So after many many pictures and messages back and forth with my sister, she picked out the two pieces for the sashing and is sending it Monday with Kayla.

Place mats need binding

Kayla and I are meeting on Monday so I can get the kids for a couple of days so she can go to training.  I am looking forward to the kids coming.  They love to go to school with me.  I have a few jobs for the girls to do and we will put Zachary in the kitchen cooking.  Win Win!
Updates:  The upstairs shower is still not happening.  The downstairs shower has progressed to just needing grout, I think, but still not happening.  The pantry is at a stand still. All the stuff is still all over the dining room. Then there is the sewing room, which is almost cleared out into the red room so it is really hard to find things when I need them.   The upstairs toilet ring got a crack in it.  I have been gone a lot so it hasn't been much of an issue for me.  I have been home for a stretch and now it is becoming a big issue!  When I get up from going to the bathroom it pinches the back of my leg and it hurts!  Owie!  I told Ken last night it had to be fixed that I am being very patient on a lot of things but it was going away fast! 
I went to the optometrist this week and got hair advice.  I am now using a mousse on my hair which seems to be okay.  I have tried it once.  We will see.  Clarification the dr didn't give the advice, but one of the girls fitting my glasses did.  I should get my new glasses next week.
