Sick of being sick!

I want to LIVE!!!!!
Okay enough of the dramatics. I have been very under the weather, under the floor, under the sea, under the bed, under the covers, under living.  There now that I have that out.
When you get old and gray and you feel old and dead, life just kind of passes you by.  So I have been NOT getting anything done much. I hope that changes now...
My garden is growing and my flowers blooming... yay!

Pete KNOWS how I love to buy fabric.  One day I will post a picture of my wall of fabric. That is when I can clear a path to it.

 



Been absent, not willingly

SHINGLES!.  can I hear a collective gasp?!! I am a dum dum. When the rash showed up on my hand I  thought, "If I can get that rash cleared up , I am home free." So I kept anti-itch creams and lotions on it and I only have one faint reddish patch now...BUT, when the rash started to clear, the PAIN hit. My whole body feels like I been in a fight and the fight is continuing without me defending myself.  And SO tired.  After reading up on it, because it was on my hand and not near my face, I am not in danger from complications. The meds they give will not shorten it or relieve it. The body has to take care of it.  Well this body needs a swift kick!

Needles to say, sewing has not been top priority.  I have not digitized but one design. I feel whupped after being up a couple hours. So when I need to go to town, I start early and get er done. I am getting up earlier so I am hopefully catching up on the rest. My naps are shorter but still needed. My house?  I don't even wanna look at it.  I have a quilt to get done, shoot I have a quilt to even get started!

I finished the second one late but #3 grandson did not mind.
I used sheets with the angry bird print on them. I searched and couldn't find regular fabric with that design.  Only fleece, not what I wanted.  So here is what I ended up with.

While he and older brother stayed with me for a week, his mom redid their bedroom.  He saw the quilt as I was finishing it and wouldn't even let me embroider his name on it...he wanted it THEN.  So he got it.  This was a quilt as you go project.

 



Blustery Day

Outside my window the wind is blowing hard, the sun is shinning and it is COOL.  I read the news and it is depressing, then I look to the sky for my hope cometh from on high and I am uplifted and happy.  I could be stricken with cancer or be unable to move at all. I AM BLESSED!.

I am behind in my digitizing and quilt sewing and want to play with dolls.  But FIRST it is to town to buy dog food. They eat a better balanced diet then I do. 

It isn't the clearest shot but you can see a visitor to the feeder that hangs on my office window.  Makes the sitting I have to do more enjoyable.

 

 

The Lord's Day

It is the Lord's day and I am glad to be alive. Ever laugh outloud or get a big grin on your face for no apparent (to others) reason because you had a funny thought?  I do.
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
A great cure for depressing thoughts too. 
I committed myself to making quilts for all my grandkids for their birthdays this year. This was the first one...I am on the 2nd one now.

My youngest grandson turned 4 last month. His momma says NO ONE dares mess with HIS quilt. I am doing the quilts as a quilt as you go method. Easier for me to handle.  The designs were from a set I made with a few extra done just for this quilt.  The backing is a sheet and it has cotton batting inside.
Well it is off to church.  See ya later!

Granny

Here I go.

Oh man, you think I would have enough to do but now I am starting another blog.  Yes another. I have one for my dolls and I  am a contributor on another about dolls. Now as long as I remember to say anything I will be doing good don't ya think?

Don't you think these are cute?  I did the designs for the Full Moon Madness I am a part of each month. My friend LaVonne did these onsies with them.  They came out really great!
