October is a weird month

   Well here I be again. Another month has been and gone.The government has shut down.

I decided to alter two dresses for my granddaughter.  Well I entered the sewing room and found a gift from the pup. But it had been so long since I went in there it had started to fossilize.  Then I went to find my boots to get them cleaned up for winter. I found one had been pulled under the dresser by the dust bunnies and they were using it for a house of ill repute!  Nasty little critters.

Once a month ain't too bad.

Okay so it has been a whole month since I posted here.  I just got too many irons in the fire and dust bunnies in the house.  So I am spreading myself out.
Anyone here ever used a Neat Receipts Desk top scanner?  I have one and the latest software and guess what...I can hang it up in an instant. Leave it to me. But I gotta do something about all these paper files. costs me a mint each year in folders, and paper and ink and then how or where to put it all... Not gonna put up with it anymore...

Ya'll have a great day okay?

I LIVE!!!

 The things you have to do to feel better.  I kept checking my sugar... too high. No not out of orbit but higher then what I normally run. I know stress, pain and sickness can make them run higher, but my BP was up to.  SOOOOOO   I went LOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Carb.  I mean LOW.  I don't even want to look at them. My feet swelling has stopped and my cravings for sugar is undercontrol and I feel like doing something again.  Amazing what cutting out bread, sugar and other assorted carbs can do.  Is it worth it? Is living worth it?  You be the judge.

I got some I-Pads to sell...LOL

Okay I MIGHT get something done today...

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!
