The sights, sounds, designs, and people are amazing. We are anxious to get our pictures together and share it all with you. We won't rival Pam Holland, but I'm sure you will love seeing Africa with us.
We were within 100 feet of this, happily, uninterested King.

In Kenya today we went to the Out of Africa lady's home (Karen Blixen and no, Robert Redford wasn't there), then it was off to the Kazuri Bead factory. At this incredible factory women have a place of refuge where they can become self sufficent and safe. We had lunch AND then off to a Giraffe Sanctuary. We got to see these beautiful creatures up close and personal - I could have kissed her, but I opted to stay friends (the guys opted for a kiss).

We are having fun in Florida with a great group of quilters because we always follow the local laws!

We had a friend drop into the yard to say goodbye. It's a little early but we appreciate the thought.

I can remember 4 years ago at one minute past the strike of midnight I received a call from Mr. Tims asking if I would like to combine forces in a joint venture.....TQS to be exact. Not exactly knowing what we were unleashing - the idea sounded like a GREAT PLAN. The next morning - Jan 1st to be exact, I was first up and attending to my morning chores which included building the fire. All day, I tended that fire and was delighted when the flame was just perfect. As the day went on I discovered an odd item embedded in a log - a horseshoe.
I pulled it from the burning log (very carefully) and kind of took it as an interesting omen. I knew that there would be ups and downs with this journey - but the horseshoe would stand as a reminder that all would be well. So here we are- celebrating our baby on her 4th birthday - with YOU. We know, and I say this boldly, that the heartbeat of TQS is YOU and for that we say thank you and look forward to our continued journey together!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TQS MEMBERS and MANY MORE!!!!

Recently I have just been creativily "stopped" - It is amazing how much time a person can spend on facebook LOL! I called my good friend Jean Wells and asked how do I get started back up again....and with a small assignment she handed me back my creative key - Thanks Jean! Has this ever happen to you and what did you do to get over that ugly hump?
