BGG Goodies

We had a grand time. At registration we each got 3 new games each, at the charity sale we got a total of 6 used games, and at the game bazaar we acquired 4 more games. Of course we each have our own haul.
Before The Wind, Yardmaster Express,
Smugglers, Venetia, Gone Viking,
Pedregal, and Breitenfeld

Return of the Heroes, Lionheart,
Dungeon Scroll, That's A Question,
Zooscape, 3 to 4 Headed Monster

Samurai, Bomb Squad, H.I.D.E.,
3 to 4 Headed Monster, and Breitenfeld

Piratoons, Acre, Forbidden Desert,
Zooscape, and Dice City All That Glitters 

It was a lot of fun and we are already making plans for next years. Of course, the question is which game will we play tonight.

It Ends

Today was the final day. Which of the games would make it out of the library vault? What would our intrepid players pick? Only 6 hours left to play!

Escape The Aliens in Outer Space
(We only looked at this one. Another table was playing it and having a lot of fun. One we hope to try next year.)

Odd Ville
Rating ****

Village
(This one we had only enough time to open and look before we discovered there was not enough time to play. Next year won't get here fast enough.)

We did play another game of Vikings Gone Wild and Fairy Tile.

Second Day

We started at 9 this morning, played through lunch, had an early dinner, and now its time for bed. All are exhausted, minds overloaded on games, and ready to rest up for tomorrow.

It Begins

Today was the first day of the Board Game Geek convention. This is my first year and I helped for an hour in the giant game library. So many games and just not enough time.

Our waiting in line. Crocheting a baby blanket while we wait for registration to start.

So so long

Been a coons age since I've been on. Transplanted my garden, got some more chickens, been rearranging my sewing room and itching to start something new. I know, I know, I need to finish a few more before I start another.

That all being said, this weekend my family is headed to the BoardGameGeek convention. 4 days of playing board games and more board games. I simply needed a small purse for my essentials. So many choices on pinterest. These are what I whipped up. One for my daughter and one for myself.

Mother's Day Gift

Youngest son provided the $$$.  I provided the plans and hubby provided the labor. I now have a new Sewing Table

As you can see it is in the shape of a bay window.  On the left side is my cutting side, middle is for sewing and on the right is for Ironing.  It is set up so I can look out my windows at the birds bathing or feeding.  I'm so happy.


Goober after Goober

All I can say is I'm trying and making colossal fails but I've not given up. Just put it on the back burner.
I'm just sitting on this till I can figure it out.

Medley





Been so busy with this and that and life that I've not had much time to sew. Hopefully, I'll have something to post next week.
