<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started a Bullet Journal July 2016. I really wasn't sure how to even do this but if you search online and on Pinterest, there are a million posts about it. I'm not artsy in any way. My writing isn't very good either. I'm rather messy when it comes to writing. But it's something I want to improve. I'm not as creative as most people bullet journaling. I'm still rather new as I've only been at it for about 8 months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a "list" person. I ALWAYS write lists on pieces of paper. To Dos, Shopping lists, pretty much anything I need to remember. I also would get a hard copy planner/agenda every year. I went the Erin Condren route the first time (twice) (loved, but pricey), then I tried Plum Paper Planners (loved this one and a bit cheaper), then decided on a Bullet Journal. Because then I could do ANYTHING with that! I could track whatever I wanted, wherever I wanted, all in one place! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So if you look up starting a Bullet Journal or Bullet Journal Supplies you will find that there are two pretty popular journal recommendations. <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FWRIAUS/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_1_w" target="_blank">Leuchtturm1917</a> </span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">and the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Classic-Colored-Notebook-Underwater/dp/8867323555/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487099306&sr=8-5&keywords=moleskine+dotted" target="_blank">Moleskine</a> dotted journal. For my first one, I couldn't find either of those in stock in a store and I was too excited to start and needed something NOW. So I went to Barnes and Noble and got <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Studio-Oh-Compact-Deconstructed-Journal/dp/B00LXBOFAG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1487099714&sr=8-11&keywords=studio+oh+deconstructed+journal" target="_blank">this</a> one for my first. (I think they may be out of them now because I can't find them on their site). But basically it's called "Deconstructed Journal by Studio Oh". </span></span></div>

I've been using it now since January 1st. I'm not sure I like it better. I do like the dotted grid. But then I also don't. I'm not the best straight writer. I tend to slant and slope so the dotted grid is a bit of a challenge for me. I also think the Studio Oh journal lays flat better when opened. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do like that the Leuchtturm1917 has 2 ribbon place markers, Pre-printed Index pages in the front, and numbered pages throughout, whereas my Sudio Oh one doesn't. But none of those things are major for me and I think I could sew a ribbon in if I really need to. (or I'll just make a neat bookmark!) The Leuchtturm1917 is a bit bigger, but I'm not sure that is a plus for me. And a definite plus that the Studio Oh has over the Leuchtturm1917 is that the paper is thicker! And the covers are prettier. So I think from now on out, I'll be using the Studio Oh journals instead. And I'll get to use more than one in a year and I love picking new journals out, so this is a plus for me! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ultimately, you can use any sort of notebook or journal you want. I'm glad I tried something new, but I think I'll be going back to my original. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, I thought I'd share my Bullet Journal Experience thus far! Do you Bullet Journal? There are so many posts on Pinterest to get you started and keep you going! I find new stuff all the time. And I love that the Bullet journal is completely customizable to YOU! </span><br />

I've been blog lazy. I'll admit it. First off, I'm not a good photographer. Even though I have an ok DSLR camera, I don't really know how to use it. I don't like pulling it out of the closet and trying and trying to get a good picture. I use my phone camera. All.the.time. So as to what I've been up to in the past few months, I'm going to just barf up all my phone pics for you. If you'd like me to follow me on Instagram, feel free. I always post what I'm doing on there. My username is: jennewby71. I think that's what you need? I'm not even sure! So here you go….here's all my stuff I've been doing:</div>

I finished making a bunch of Christmas pillows. I sold some to friends and I have a few left over that I'm giving as gifts to teachers for the girls. I might have to make a couple more, but that's ok! They are so fun to make and I'm really enjoying hand embroidery! (the piece of fabric included in the picture is what the backing fabric is) Pattern found <a href="http://nanacompany.typepad.com/nanacompany/2015/11/merry-and-bright-cushion-cover-free-pdf-pattern-.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

My cousin got married last month and I wanted to make them a quilt for their wedding gift. She has red sofas so I knew I wanted to make one that she could have out every day on her sofa. I got to use all my Rouenneries by French General that I had bought YEARS ago! </div>

One of the best friends I met in the Navy had a birthday in June and her husband took over as the Commanding Officer in a fighter jet squadron in July. I knew I had to make her a quilt. It's one I wanted to make her for a couple years now. Anyway, I finally finished it and sent it off. It's pretty much the same as the other Anna Maria Horner patchwork quilt I made last year. I will never tire of these beautiful fabrics. </div>

We had such a wonderful time camping! (Warning, heavy on the pictures post!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Nebraska's first State Park for a few days and then headed North to the Black Hills in South Dakota. WOW! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were blown away. This coming from 2 California Natives that LOVE the Sierras, and have been to just about all the great State and National parks of California! </div>

Since I knew I'd probably never make a quilt with it this was a perfect way to use some of it up! I do love how bright and colorful it is and it fit in with everything else pretty good. </div>

I couldn't really get a great picture because the colors just don't show up well facing the bright windows when trying to take a picture. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also picked up a small rug for the kitchen area. </div>

I haven't been sewing that much lately. BUT… I wanted to improve the interior of our travel trailer, so that's what I've been working on for the past couple weeks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We haven't camped in over two years until Memorial Weekend. We decided to go local since there are some fantastic Nebraska State parks all so close. It was a blast! But when we got back I got busy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some before (stock) pictures of our trailer:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFR5_0w_-MkKZRrswD7Z_ZAPnFNTeUPW2-NaNfcq4wjyeqEuIlkjyzVpFkYGU_al3zWRGg4u3bGSv0y5Oygiya8uimVn4ZCytR7_XfqOV24sTfAzDzZ8jKYLDValR6SKQYIGrv7Inc9U_o/s1600/574a7c15ae3a229d4815b99d_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFR5_0w_-MkKZRrswD7Z_ZAPnFNTeUPW2-NaNfcq4wjyeqEuIlkjyzVpFkYGU_al3zWRGg4u3bGSv0y5Oygiya8uimVn4ZCytR7_XfqOV24sTfAzDzZ8jKYLDValR6SKQYIGrv7Inc9U_o/s640/574a7c15ae3a229d4815b99d_Fotor.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't take it anymore! I removed the ugly wallpaper border; removed all the metal blinds and replaced those with room darkening roller shades; took off the god awful valance-cornice thingys and replaced with curtains; removed the ugly privacy curtain for master bed area and replaced it with a pretty curtain; recovered the dinette cushions and sofa; and made some throw pillows. </div>

I love it now! I still want to make some sort of valance for the small kitchen window, but it's a small window and don't want to obstruct too much of the view. Plus it's right above the sink and oven so I decided against curtains. It does have the roller shade though. </div>

I feel like this is much more "me" and can enjoy it a bit better when camping. We leave this Friday for a week and I'm super excited! Our first stop is Chadron State Park in Nebraska which is the first state park in the state. Then we are heading North to hit the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota which is a part of the country I've never been to. </div>

I totally forgot to post this after I made it. I had this back in June for my next door neighbor for her Birthday. I've been wanting to make an AMH quilt forever and I finally cut into my stash. I have a TON of AMH fabric because someday I'm going to make an oversized King quilt for my bed. In the meantime though, a lap quilt is just fine. (pictures taken with my iPhone because I was in a rush to gift it and totally forgot to take good pictures)</div>

This is what I've been working on. This has been one of my favorite projects lately. And it only took me 2 days to make over 100!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1-ZWw11NnMA2p3lRkAyyNdi8KDPd85Ce5lX-oRzHFHiMi_7EFC4O4lEe1H8DOb2EGc-8T-L5cuV5wf8nOduLedJ0tu_TJUG5EqRhf9Vxvdpi3JwDsFgyJRQcIKSaNFSV7TKNV6mdVen0/s1600/DSC_0063_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1-ZWw11NnMA2p3lRkAyyNdi8KDPd85Ce5lX-oRzHFHiMi_7EFC4O4lEe1H8DOb2EGc-8T-L5cuV5wf8nOduLedJ0tu_TJUG5EqRhf9Vxvdpi3JwDsFgyJRQcIKSaNFSV7TKNV6mdVen0/s320/DSC_0063_Fotor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Normally I dread Christmas Card time. With the invention of photo cards, it's easy. But the pressure to get a good photo of my kids is always a daunting task. They hate having their pictures taken. Hate having to load up somewhere to get "just the right spot" to snap that picture. I'm by no means even a decent photographer, so it's just a huge hassle. I hate it. What I love about photo cards though, is they are easy. Upload a picture or two, order 100, wait for them to come, address them and they're off. Easy. But….there is absolutely NO personalization to them. Yes, they have a picture of my kids on them. But that's it. What about my college friends that I send them to that have never even met my kids. Do they even care? My family and close friends obviously see my kids, so why do they care about a picture of them? Where are the days of actually writing a handwritten note in a Christmas Card to your friends and family? I miss that. Sometimes the only time a year I hear from a long lost friend is in the one and only Christmas card sent each year. Yet I get it and it's just a picture of their kid(s) I've never met. Yes, I do love to see the pictures, but I'd LOVE to actually hear how they are, what they've been up to, and so on. Some of those friends aren't on any social media, so I really have no updates.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5JO7iYxc1at3jJ0WwDA3bTNqVhF2OyAaW7ZFhjkgEPTt2bOW33e_ftMzn5mIsEygOmzaLL0dTaVBS7no4Ux6ZnGr-7eZx-2b2jj64E0NiWyNT2IvnPHF_cOk7Ho4xNF5TDTVw5o_Khqm/s1600/DSC_0075_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5JO7iYxc1at3jJ0WwDA3bTNqVhF2OyAaW7ZFhjkgEPTt2bOW33e_ftMzn5mIsEygOmzaLL0dTaVBS7no4Ux6ZnGr-7eZx-2b2jj64E0NiWyNT2IvnPHF_cOk7Ho4xNF5TDTVw5o_Khqm/s320/DSC_0075_Fotor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So I made REAL cards this year to send. Blank on the inside. So I am forced to actually WRITE a personalized note to each and every one of them! My Christmas Card list is ridiculous. It's at over 100. And that's with even trimming some each year. Here's why it so big: 1.) I still send cards to my parent's friends that I grew up with each holiday and special occasion. All my extended family lived in the MidWest, while we were in California and didn't have the money to fly to them every holiday. So my parent's friends were like my extended family. 2.) I still send to some of my high school friends. 3.) College friends. 4.) Family. Both my husband and I have a parent that is one of FIVE (husband's dad, one of SIX) kids. Plus all their kids and their kids=Big families. 5.) Military. With this past move being #8 in 12 years, we move a lot. We meet great friends in each and every duty station. My Christmas list grows every year. I've got friends in the States, in Germany, in Japan, and in Australia. So that's why the list is 100+<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm looking forward to hand-writing a personal note to each and every one of them. (I may be talking a different tune once I get started, but I'm trying to be positive!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as the cards go, they were SO FUN to make. I did lots of searching on Pinterest to get ideas and sort of pulled from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/shannonweiland/76392240/" target="_blank">here</a> and there. I knew I wanted to do trees. I went through all my Christmas fabric and cut some triangles and then small little trunks out of brown. Sewed a simple line down the middle and that's it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love them! I was able to go to my stash of stationary and found all sorts of blank note cards. So my cards this year didn't cost me a penny! Everything was pulled from my stash so that was great and the extra bonus is that I used up some stuff that I've been moving around with me for 10+ years!<br />
<br />
Then I had some extra trees cut so I made some gift tags!<br />

HELLO!!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We moved from Southern California to Omaha, Nebraska this summer. I've been busy unpacking and trying to get the house organized. I still have some to do but I've lost steam and have pretty much thrown in the towel. I have all our pictures and wall decor to hang and a few "junk drawer" boxes to unpack. </div>

My sewing area is all set up (pictures to come soon!) but I haven't pulled my machine out yet. I will soon though because I have a couple Advent Calendars that I'm making for friends that I need to get finished by mid November to mail out. </div>

In the meantime, I've been crocheting. For some reason cooler weather and fall makes me want to sit and crochet. I have more yarn to buy but here's the start of a blanket I'm making. I don't sew at night (ever) so this gives me something to do while my husband is watching all his dumb shows he watches. (haha!) </div>

One of my friends that lives across the street asked if I'd make a baby quilt for her to give to one of her friends who's due in April. I had her come over and look at my fabrics and pick what she wanted. I happen to have some Heather Ross and Mary Jane fabrics out. This is what I came up with. All the fabrics on the front are Heather Ross and Mary Jane. The backing fabric is one of Jennifer Paganelli's. This quilt measures 38"x47". </div>

Browsing my blog (which I haven't been on for a while!) I realized I never posted pictures of some quilts I made in November and December! So i'm going to post them all in this post to try and catch up! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found out in November that one of my college roommates was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I hadn't seen or even talked to her in 20 years or so. I was able to make a trip up to visit her and I wanted to give her a gift. I got to meet her husband and kids and spend a little time with her. I gave her this quilt. Unfortunately 2 weeks later she passed. I'm glad I got to see her when I did and I'm glad I got to meet her family. Her daughter was very interested in the quilt and asked me a bunch of questions about making it. I'm hoping she is now using this. </div>

My husband has an annual Hawkeye Ball that we attend when we are in a fleet squadron. There are raffle items up for grabs benefitting the <a href="http://www.vaw-vrc-memorialfund.org/Home.html" target="_blank">VVOSA</a>. Each year we attend, I try to donate a quilt. Here's the one I submitted this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric: Origins by Basic Grey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pattern: <a href="http://www.psiquilt.com/2011/06/synchronized-squares-quilt-along.html" target="_blank">Synchronized Squares</a> by p.s. i quilt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(if you look closely, the bottom row is completely different fabrics. I had to make a mad dash to Joann's to see if I could find some prints that coordinated because I wanted it longer than how it came out. I didn't want to take apart the whole top to work them into it better. So it kinda bothers me, but then again, it was donated, so I guess it's ok.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The winner of this quilt was actually one of our old Commanding Officer's wives, so that made me happy! </div>

Another baby shower this past Saturday! Again, I wasn't able to attend but I finished a quilt in time to send. I've had these fabrics for a couple years now and finally got to use them for a baby quilt. It's just a simple square in a square pattern. Finished size was approx. 50"x50". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric: Hushabye by Tula Pink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Backing fabric was one I picked up from Joann's, I think.</div>

One of the wives in my Officer's Spouses Club got married back in May. I made her a quilt as her wedding gift and I FINALLY finished it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had told me her favorite colors were Navy and Yellow and when I came across Dear Stella's Lola fabric, I knew it would be perfect for her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My original plan was a Sparkle Punch Quilt, but it was so much work and I've been so busy with baby quilts, donation quilts and then this, that the Sparkle Punch was just way too big of a commitment at this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still love how this turned out though because it's got the stars and some patchwork, which I love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved it and that makes me happy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I was going to do a separate post for each quilt, but decided on just one post. I did all 4 of these quilts in just over 10 days! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are 4 gals pregnant in our Officer's Spouses Club and there was a quadruple baby shower yesterday. I missed the shower but sent gifts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here they are! And for throwing them together in such a short amount of time I feel like I didn't get to fully appreciate them. But I will say, all of them were super fun to make and I loved each and every one! </div>

Quilt Stats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric: various prints I've had for years. I honestly can't remember all of them. I bought some from a fabric store and some came from Connecting Threads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pattern: Half Square Triangles </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quilting: I just did minimal straight line quilting. (I like more minimal quilting on baby quilts because it seems to make them a bit ofter)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Measurements: I FORGOT TO MEASURE! I think it was approximately 44"x44". Each block was 8" unfinished, so that's my guess!</div>

Quilt Stats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric: I can't recall the exact name but it was from Connecting Threads (years ago!) and I think it was "Honey Bee". Backing is the VERY last of my favorite Anna Maria Horner Folksy Flannel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pattern: <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2013/08/fancy-jelly-roll-lap-quilt.html" target="_blank">Fancy Jelly Roll</a>. I didn't use a jelly roll nor did I make it as big as the pattern is for. I cut up a fat quarter bundle I had and have plenty left over. So I'll either make another baby quilt or a patchwork with the leftovers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Measures: I forgot to measure this one. I'd guess it was 45"x50". </div>

<br />
ok, here's the story... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this quilt back in 2010, when <a href="http://modifytradition.blogspot.com/2010/04/archive-round-2-blocks_29.html" target="_blank">Modify Tradition's Round 2 started</a>. I was fairly new to quilting and buying fabrics. While on vacation in Oregon, I stopped into a quilt and fabric shop. They had a bunch of this fabric on sale and I bought it up. Not even sure why because it's not like I loved it, it was just on sale for a great price and it was "real fabric" aka not fabric from Joann's. (not that there is anything wrong with that! It's just at the time I had never bought designer fabric from a quilt store). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I started the blocks and after 4, I hated the fabric, hated the quilt-along and just got lazy. So I quit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward 4 years and 3 moves later from one coast to the other...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a reason to pull those 4 blocks out and finish it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Officer's Wives Club was asked to make a gift basket donation for the <a href="http://www.vaw-vrc-memorialfund.org/Home.html" target="_blank">VVOSA </a> to help raise funds for the scholarship fund they do. They are holding a symposium in VA next month and asked all the Hawkeye and Greyhound squadrons to donate something. Each squadron was given a Country as a theme so it's an "Around the World" silent auction. Our squadron was assigned China.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remembered my started blocks and how the fabric was made with an Asian print fabric. So I dug them out, finished it up and it's ready to go! I ended up adding some blocks from the 1st MT quilt along because they were easy, fast blocks. I don't really care much for a traditional layout of a sampler quilt so I just scattered the blocks. It kinda looks wonky and didn't quite have the effect I was looking for, but it will have to do. It's not really "China" but hey, who doesn't love a quilt! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope it raises lots of money!<br />
