two bucks a block???
i am in love love love with Moda fabrics new line called Chocolate. i was in Hamels yesterday(Super Stitcher Saturday Sale woo hoo!) and saw a new fun kit.
it's called Thangles
you first month costs $9($7 for the Thangles and $2 for the fabric) each month is than $2 and you get a pattern and the fabric to make a 9.5(unfinished) block. i chose the Chocolate fabrics(i believe the other option was Modas Poetry collection). In the end, you put the blocks together to make a twin sized quilt(there is the option of a queen size and think i'll go with that. it will make a loverly topper for our bed!)
but $2 a block? you can't beat that! and 4 weeks to do the block? it doesn't get easier than that!

hard day today
went down to visit Jim's grandparents. they have always from the first day i met them, treated me like i was one of *theirs* and in my heart, they are truly my grandparents as well.
last winter, grandma was diagnosed with alzheimers. the disease hit her fairly quick. we last saw her in the fall and were quite surprised with how worse she has gotten since than.
she did know who we were but she isn't grandma anymore. i left the house in tears to come home; even Jim was teary.
Jim and i have spoken in the past about the boys and grandma and made the decision today that this is the last time that B and M will probably see her. they are too young to remember grandma as grandma, i don't want them having memories of her like this and worse as they get older. i still have memories of going to see my great-grandma when i was roughly 6/7 and her screaming at me that she was a good girl and calling me mommy. completely freaked me right out.
i hate this disease. grandma survived two battles with breast cancer and this horrible disgusting disease is doing her in
