Still on the nest

One of these days when the weather is not misting rain, I will take my good and try to get a close up pic of her.  

It is a rainy week for us.  I think it has stopped a few times, today but there are big, big puddles of water collected anywhere there is room for one.  

I ran to Walmart this morning between rains, and this little creek that usually has just enough water in it to be flowing was raging.   The road had places where I would have hated to have been an hour before.  Water covered most of the road in a few places.  Luckily no one was behind me and no one right there so I could scoot over into the oncoming lane and miss them with one wheel.

I did get my little quilt 'runner' top finished last night and I got it pin basted to quilt today.  Maybe tomorrow I will get some quilting time.  I honestly thought about hand quilting, but I want it done sooner than later.  Hopefully I will get it done.

a bit of sewing...

There are three of these blocks though you cannot see the third.  They are left over from the project HERE.  I always keep something on the back of Roger's chair.

I wanted and needed something new for his chair, and had been thinking off and on what I might make.  I even considered just doing two fabrics and quilting them.  Per usual, I could not make a decision.  So, I thought and thought some more, and got to thinking about how he loves Civil War Reproduction fabrics, and I thought that is the fabric to use, no matter what I make.

I pulled out the container of the fabrics and found these three blocks...they are perfect for this.  And now they will be used.  I added the sashing strip between the blocks and did the one border.  And will do at least one more border.  One of the reproductions fabrics I have is green, so I may use it since it is Roger's favorite color.

I want to get to sew some on it today, but also need to do another chore or two.  So it may be tonight before I get up there.

 First of all, the photos of Gus are not by me.  I think Sarah took both of them...I know she did the first one.

Gus adores Jeremy....he loves everyone, but Jeremy especially.

He likes to relax with anyone, though, as you can see above with Lorelei.

Not much going on here this weekend.  Daughter put on Quarterback on Netflix and it is really good.  In my opinion.  I told her, it might lead me to watching football again.  We always watched the Colts, and I was interested in it because Peyton Manning had went to University of Tennessee.  After he left, I just could not get into any of the newer quarterbacks.

And we always watched the Saints because of Drew Brees....partly because  he went to Purdue.  

This 2023 season is about Patrick MaHomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus  Mariota.  It is interesting.
