Finally figured out the photo thing

I think I figured out how to post my photos on the blog. I'm so excited I figured this out, but now I'm a little sad and overwhelmed because I realize how little I get done- as far as quilting. I mean, I have the chance to post photos of my projects, like the UFOs and ask for advise or show a completed project, but I will have very few photos to post. It makes me jealous of all the blogs I read where they have quilted each day, even if it's just a bit. I guess I have to keep reminding myself my time isn't mine at this point in my life, and I try to have a good attitude about this reality, but sometimes it isn't easy. Well. that was a nice little pity party for me. I should remember to play the stupid 'glad game'. Did I say stupid? -opps, I meant that wonderful 'glad game'- here goes;
1. I should be glad I have a camera to take pictures of the quilts I have not even started, but dream of making.
2. I should be glad I have lots, and lots, and lots of quilt kits, fabric and notions I haven't even begun to use, but will one day.
3. I should be glad the reason I can't quilt a lot is because I have 4 adorable kids (11 yrs to 7 months) and a dear husband, who I help run his business.
4. I am glad because in my life at this point, this is my biggest complaint, and I am SOOO glad this is it. I am so lucky!

OK, now I feel guilty for complaining, as I was trying to load the picture of my July 4th quilt, I found this picture of my daughter and my 2nd son (8 & 2 yrs old). How could I even consider my quilting time as something more important than my 'playtime'? Who wouldn't want to play with these snuggly little kids!

I love this picture, my daughter is missing her teeth, while my son has his 'new' teeth. These are my 2 kids that they wrote that book about- "The Strong Willed Child". LOL! They are just alike, both in their appearance and personality. WOW! I didn't know God has such a strange sense of humor- to send one family 2 kids with the SAME STRONG personality! It is without doubt and adventure each day!

Well, today was definitely a good blogging therapy day. I hope I finish the binding on the flag quilt. I ran out of material for the back, so I just pieced all the scraps together for the backing. It's not done so great, but it is for outside. Blowing in the wind, I doubt anyone will notice how messy it was pieced.
