Former draft


I did not know what to post here tonight...I could not think if I had taken any snapshots or not.  I thought I will see what is in the drafts and found this.  I have missed being where I could see these blooms.  I just simply love them.

I did vacuum today. How many times do you vacuum a week?  I don't know if this is good or bad or if I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I only vacuum once now that we just have Copper.  When we had both him and Delta, I had to vacuum at least twice.  And now with my cordless, it will be easier if I have to vacuum up something in the kitchen.  You know how you sometimes drop something or spill something.  I hated dragging out the big vacuum for that.  Not that I did it often.  

I did some laundry and I just came down from working on my quilt a few minutes ago.  I think I did 4 or 5 circles and a half circle....there will be half circles along the edge.  I cannot think how many I have done.  I did not go up at all yesterday.

Sarah and Lorelei came by for a little bit....Lorelei had been to eye dr for new contacts....so they stopped by here on the way home.

That is about all I can think of right now...I still have not opened another puzzle but it is getting harder to resist.  LOL

Quilting has begun...


  This area is only partially quilted.  I will fill in in the orange areas and the surrounding area with more quilting.  


This is the back...I have been afraid to count how many circles I will have to quilt just to get that part done.  It is slow going.  But I am so glad to have begun.  

**************                                                                                                             I did a run to Walmart today.  I should try pick-up because by the time I come home and carry everything in I am wiped out.  But I feel like the walking is better for in the long run.  So I continue to do my own shopping.  I really don't know how I had so much stuff.

Daughter told me tonight, when she is done watching TV for the night, she puts her remote on the back of the couch a lot of times.  Now, che is finding that Copper leaves his bone there.

Hopefully the last for a while...


 I am going to try not to start another one...but I have said that before and it didn't last more than two or three days.  I just enjoy them so much.  They are great while way 5 minutes for this or 10 for that..

**************                                                                                                                   I actually got this quit top layered with the backing and batting and pin basted and ready to quilt.  IF I could just make up my mind whether to hand quilt of machine quilt.  And with either one, I have to decide how to quilt...the stitching design I mean.  It is about 54-56 inches square.


Other than that, I have not done very much...a load of laundry, and dishes.  And it was so warm I got to sit outside and read!  And finished my Alaska book.  I started a new book:  I Love You, Miss Huddleston: and other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood by Philip Gulley.  I think it will probably be a light, enjoyable read.
