These are two different sets of blocks--well not actually sets. Just blocks made from odds and ends of fabric that is left over from other things. The first blocks without all the yellow were made years ago and are 6 inches square. The ones with what seems to be becoming my signature color yellow I have been working on in little bits of time here and there. They are 6 1/2 inches
square ...yet somehow or other I will merge the two into one quilt, though I haven't decided how yet.

And that last is looking down in my tub of scraps...I really should have taken time to take a better picture
but I didn't. But you can still get the idea of what a mess I have. I declare that I cannot tell that I am using any out of it. I think I need to go down and just sew for an entire day. But that is not likely to happen till the holidays are over with.

Blogging issues still, but I will deal with them....I know from responses here and at about.com that it is not just my computer. Or me. I did see where a few others were having even more severe issues than me with Internet Explorer. I did investigate one website I was directed to at about.com and also in the discussions on Blogger, but what I seen did not really address my issue.


So, continuing on, I have been busy this entire day, did not sew a stitch, and yet doesn't seem to be anything to show for it. I was in my cabinets trying to clean out old, useless things. And I had help...lots of help. From the three young 'uns. The above photo actually has all 4 kitties in it, but my boy is behind the princess and you can hardly see him. It was the three of them that helped...investigated everything I was doing and tried to help. Into every cabinet I had open...

And The Princess has been to almost the very top of the Christmas tree two or three times today...she is definitely feeling like herself. My tree is looking on the run down side...I am sure from having to drag them out of it so many times. And I finally broke down and put the presents under it, not bows or ribbons of course. It is now for sure their favorite place to run and hide and play....so much more than when it was bare.

Anyway, I did have one big, heavy garbage bag when I got done...then my younger daughter stopped by on her way home from work and had tacos with us. After she left we went to Terre Haute to see our friend's daughter play basketball...her team won and she made several points...

Tomorrow I need to go finish shopping for my husband. I will probably try to find him something he would like for hunting or fishing...just not sure what that is going to be.
Blogger problems....

I am having problems with my blog...I can see the barn picture behind my header if I use Firefox but not with Internet Explorer. Another friend says she cannot see it at all. I suppose it started with the changes Blogger made...the first I noticed any changes was this past weekend when all that showed in the header picture was the tip of the barn roof. So I went in and resized the image--well, I cropped it. That loaded fine...

Then last night in messing around, I switched to IE for something and noticed no header, switched back to Firefox and everything was fine. Switched back to IE, and tried reloading the picture while using it, still didn't show there. but it still shows for me while on Firefox.

I am trying to scan through the help topics but so far no luck with this exact problem.

Anyone that reads this, please post if you see this picture in my header and tell me what browser you are using...
