What a night! We attended the Fire Relief Concert last night.....Willie Nelson, George Strait, Lyle Lovett, The Texas Tornadoes, Christopher Cross, The Dixie Checiks, Terri Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Asleep at the Wheel, Randy Rogers, Shawn Colvin.

It started with the Tickets on the floor.

Section 3 (right of center stage), row 9, seats 8 and 9.

With a trip to the Lone Star Lounge....giggle.

Strange fancy foods were free, beer $7.00 

Mick had at least 8 giant shrimps stuffed with something beefy

in the middle of the circle of the shrimp.

I'm still excited!

Date Night!

George Strait

Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett

The Texas Tornadoes with Shawn Sahms son of Doug Sahms.

He dedicated this to Doug and Freddy Fender.

I think over $500,000 was raised from the event.  A good time was had by all...especially me!!!

Slow Progress.....

Only 5 more of these andddddddddd

All this.....grin.

Go check out Design Wall Monday at Patch Work Times and BOM's Away at  What a Hoot! to see what everyone else has been up to this week.

Sweet Music to the Heart!

Applique Thursday..........an oldy.

My one and only block from the Wee Village.  I made it to be included in a quilt for Margo.  I'm not sure if it ever made it into the quilt.  I knew absolutely nothing about applique.  I think the block is only ironed down....grin.....I'm not sure I knew to sew it in place.

I remember being really nervous!

Almost forgot.  Don't forget to go check out Angie's Owl again at A Quilting Readers Garden and post your applique old or new on Mr. Linky.

Moose on the Porch

Here's block 2.  I followed Konda's layout for the beige blocks.

It's still early in this quilt along.  Hop over to the Porch and join in.

Stray Stitches - Giveaway!

Head over to Linda Gs at Stray Stitches and check out her giveaway.  Beautiful fabrics from the Fat Quarter Shop.

Have fun, but the fabric is mine...............:))

Okay Gals and Guys....

I'm up and running!!!!  Thanks to some lovely man talking in a foreign accent.  He was so patience with me.

My diagnoses message said:

Boot Test - Failed
Error Code - BIOHD3
Warning:  No active partitions.
It wouldn't reboot in safe mode either.

I found similar problems with this error code online using my very old HP computer with no resolutions offered.

At this point, to me this said my HD was fried.  Not so!!!............(I'm still jumping up and down with relief)

I have a HP SimpleSave External Drive in addition to my regular hard drive.  For some reason, my computer was trying to boot from the SimpleSave drive.  How or why is a mystery to me.  After over an hour of conversation maybe two hours and unpluggingssss and repluggingsss and rebootingsss, I was back in business.  (Don't you love my homemade jargon...hee hee)

I know better than to lose my hope, but I didn't get to sleep until 3 and had tried everything I knew to try.  I guess that's why we have techies.....Thank you Sean with the Indian dialect.  You are a sweetheart!

Yuck!!!..........

I have just offically freaked out.  My new computer has crashed.  It stopped recognizing my HD and I'm getting error message BIOHD3.  I'm using my old computer right now.  I'm suppose to click on F11 when I boot.  Does nothing!

I can still get emails on this old computer, but it's very slowwwwww.

Keep good thoughts for me. 

Monday, Monday

So many pieces to go.............sigh!

Don't forget to check BOMs Away at What a Hoot Quilts!

I won this mug rug and lapel glue from Kris at Farm Girl Transplant

It's the cutest thing.  Kris sent a note along that she made these rugs for her quilty friends to use at a retreat this weekend.  Thanks Kris!

Applique Thursday...NOT

I have tried to do this 'bonus' block two different times now.  I found myself just looking at it trying to figure out why I couldn't lay it out.  I went and checked out my original pattern and the background size is apparently different.  I've decided no bonus block for me.  I'll go back to the regular blocks next week.

Hop over to Angie's to see if everyone else did better on their Applique Thursday.  She's posted her Owl that she's working on.  Soooo cute!
