Regency's Member Guest Golf Tournament
Today was Regency's member Guest tournament. I played with a wonderful person, unfortunately I played really bad. Not sure what was wrong but something was definitely off today. I felt really bad for my partner. I actually think we came in last place, but I didn't look at the final scores of everybody. The tournament was planned wonderfully. Food and prizes were great. Thank you lady's at Regency for a wonderful tournament. Lets just hope that I play better at Piedmont's Member Guest.

Member/Guest Tournament: River Creek
Well, my team won second net! Didn't expect that. The tournament was
wonderful and I had a great time. The theme was beach so Carol and I
went to Five Below and bought a few beach related items. Included in
those items were a buggy board, beach mat, and beach towel.
We had fun decorating our carts when we arrived at River Creek on Friday. Before we started our round of Friday we had brunch and ordered our golf shoes (which were our tee gift). After Friday's round my team was tied for the lead in both gross and net. I never expected that. We came into the clubhouse and had drinks and heavy appetizers. Everything was great.
Saturday was an early morning for me. I left the house at 7:10 AM. When we arrived at River Creek there was a breakfast waiting for us. We also had a hat as another tee gift waiting for us in our cart. Saturday's mornings round started of really bad. My partner put two balls in the junk on 15 (which is what hole we started on) so it was up to me to play the hole (format was best ball from the two woman team). After a good drive I managed to score a 9 on that hole. Yuck! After that we settled down but I still thought we had no chance with the nine on the first hole.

Atlantic Flyway Quilt
I went to a quilt expo and discovered Deb Tucker's templates. I
bought Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper template along with the Atlantic Flyway
pattern that was designed to be used with the Wing Clipper template.
With this template, it was a breeze to make the flying geese. As you can see there are a lot of flying geese in this pattern. I liked the colors in this pattern but just wanted to lighten them up a bit.

New Craft Table
My Koala table is in the craft room!!! Now my next question is where
and how to position it. If I put it up against the wall like I had
planned to then I have to pull it out to the middle of the floor to use
the extension, and I can't watch TV. If I turn it around and pull it
out from the wall so I can sit behind it to sew, it just looks like a
big piece of furniture in the middle of the room.
Craft Table Delivered
I went to a Sewing and Quilting Expo in Baltimore the beginning of
May. I needed a table and cutting mats for my newly renovated craft
room. We I found the "Cadalic" of sewing tables. It is a Koala sewing
cabinet. You have to go online and look at them, they are amazing.
So, I have waited 6 weeks for my cabinet to arrive. Last Thursday J B Hunt called me to set up delivery. I was so excited that it finally was coming. Delivery was set for Monday. Once it arrived the delivery men could not get it up the stairs, so there it sits in my living room. Long story short, I have to wait until Thursday to have J B Hunt move it upstairs. To make matters worse, they told me not to take off the shrink wrap until it is moved upstairs. So the cabinet has been sitting in the living room and I can't even play with it.

Cleaning up Craft Room
This is what my craft room looked like before. What a mess! I decided to redo the craft room and make it into a more of a sewing/quilting room. Still a work in progress but I think it is much improved.
