The puzzle

 I stayed up to finish this Sunday night...for some reason it really bothered me having it sitting out.  It was one of those where I thought a piece was missing till the last 3 or 4 pieces.  A piece in the Blue Jay.  It had those strange, strange shapes.  Not always interlocking.  And it had some of the smallest pieces in the border that I have ever seen.

Roger and I got our Covid booster shots yesterday.  His arm is slightly sore.  Mine feels like someone has punched it.  And I woke during the night freezing to death.  I do not feel good... my normal routine is off.  And Roger says he does not feel good.  We could have got them earlier, but I was waiting for a week that was totally free of appointments and this was it...

Hopefully next time I post I will feel like myself again!

Just a random post

 I am posting some other pics of these over on my other blog, and will post this over there, but here it is here, too.  This was taken earlier this week.  I really felt like I was entering a fairyland with them.  I just simply love lotus/water lily pads in all their glory.  You see them brown from a distance and are disappointed but the minute you get close, the magic happens.  There is beauty still clinging to them.

Thought I would show some of my threads for quilting.  These are almost all variegated....they are King Tut...several of these were part of my birthday.  Some have been used and replaced.  Oh, King Tut is made by Superior Threads.  I heard somewhere that the company changed hands but I do not know if it is true or not.  I hope if they did, that they keep the same quality.

I think I am going to make potholders from these...they are made from the scraps I buy at this one quilt shop.  They have a bin where scraps are thrown by them, and probably by people taking classes there.  I forget what it costs to buy a quart bag....but I buy a gallon bag stuffed as full as I can stuff it for $5.  Some are just little pieces but I get quite a few nice chungs.  Take the blue with the white flowers, I got at least two pieces of it that were about 11 inches square.  One of these days when I buy a bag, I will lay it out and take a picture of all that I get.  Some bags are better than others.  But I get to pic and choose what I get...it is not like they stuff the bag...

I have a jigsaw puzzle that I am working and would really like to finish it today but not sure I can.  I just simply cannot leave them alone sometimes.  I got it out one night, and was good the next day.  I did not touch it till evening...but it has been a lost cause since then.

I hope everyone has a good week ahead...

update

 I waited till late yesterday afternoon and had received no calls about the results of Roger's second test of his potassium levels.  So I called the dr's office...I talked to a nurse.  She had to go ask the dr, and he told her the levels were fine and to continue as I have been.  I am sorry I did not do the update last night...I had planned to and was so tired I did not do anything.
