I've Wandered Back In.....


Before I got lost in real life, I worked on the sashing for the Farm Girl Vintage.

Then we decided to get new carpet for the bedrooms and the computer room.  We put it off as long as we could.  All my rooms were pretty organized, but the amount of stuff I had stashed in every corner was unreal.  We totally covered our family room and Micks pool room with all the junk.

First some things to my good friend Carol, then packed away stuff for the kids, and a couple of trips to the thrift shop to drop things off helped out some.
 Several days to remove, wait for the carpet, and more days to return everything to it's home.


Looks better without the card table, but it's so convenient.



The quilt I made Mom.


Most of my toys are gone.  This is all I kept.


New carpet with all the footprints....:)


Halloween quilt on the chair.  Master bedroom too messy to show.


This carpet is called Desert Sand.  I just love it.  We are having an area rug made for the family room of this same carpet, but it's not here yet.

That's about all that has been happening at my house.

Should start getting back to sewing soon.

Happy Days to you all.

We had some visitors today


We have cardinals all year round, but


look who she had over for tea.

This one little guy is looking at his reflection.


I've never had the fortune to see one of these lovely birds.  One of the neighbors said they are Cedar Waxwings.

So lovely.

Just saying...............

Getting old sucks!
and I'm sure I'm not alone with this feeling.

LOL

I've worked a long time finishing these blocks...yep I know I'm slow, but sewing is just for my own pleasure.  I added some of the sashing and laid them out on the bed.

I quickly saw that I was three blocks short.  No big deal.  I finally figured out that I was suppose to make four of the same block and put them in the corners.

Today, I went to take a couple of photos for my blog which I have definitely been ignoring since the holidays.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I can plainly see I've used two different background fabrics.  Why am I just seeing this today, I don't know.  Mick says I never notice anything.  Houses have been built in our neighborhood that I've never noticed going up.

Looks like I might have to get that cataract surgery sooner than I planned....:(
So much for working under Ott Lights.





I won the potholder on the right at Bunco when I was about 30....39 years ago.

It's seen better days.  Since it was always my favorite, I decided that I'd just make another.  I won't share how much fabric I used to make the one on the left....giggle.  I kept cutting it backwards.  Due to some cutting problems it came out a little smaller, and yes I forgot the inside lining and to quilt it.  Seems like more is going wrong with me than just my eyes.

Just saying...........



Yea!!!  My pity party is over.  Off to read.
