Origins

Good morning!  I thought i would begin by telling you all about me and my family and where we come from. 
I came from a small town, Sophia, West Virginia, graduated from Independence High School class of '99.  I moved to North Carolina for a while, then ended up in Suffolk, Virginia where i met my husband.  Once he got out of the Navy he found a job here in Newburgh at Alcoa Aluminum Plant.  We love it here in our lovely house with our three kids!  Last year we suffered a terrible loss, my mother died from cancer.  She was diagnosed in Dec 2008, and 3 months before her 50th birthday, on August 14, 2009 she died.  My sister, brother, grandmother, and my stepfather were there, I wasn't.  My 28th birthday was 7 days after she passed.  It has been almost a year and we are still breathing, the sun still comes up every morning, and life goes on, I really didn't think it would for a while.  It doesn't hurt so bad now when I think of her. 
As I said I have three kids, my son is 6, and my girls will be 11 and 12 this summer.  We've lived here for about a year and a half, and they are enjoying school.  I have an area in my home that is just for me, it is closed off to all the pets (9 total- 6 cats, 2 ferrets, and 1 dog), it is my craft room.  I love to be in there, to make, to create.  I do a little bit of almost everything, quilt, sew, crochet, to name a few.  I am on facebook and flickr, i have two favorite blogs that i follow, quiltville and crazy mom quilts, I've learned so much from them.  And that's me, that was like ripping a bandaid off.  I hope to make new friends in the quilting world, maybe that's you!  Stay tuned, more to come!!

Round Two

My first attempt at blogging didn't work out so well, so now i'm back for more. This blog will mostly be about my passion for quilts (and fabric), my daily life (the good, the bad, and the ugly truth), and sometimes useless rantings. BTW my name is Felicia, and I can't wait to get to know you all! Enjoy your day!
