Me or a book?

 Copper's mom sent me these pics to show what he thought of her trying to read a book.  Doesn't your heart just go out to him?  You would never guess that he is spoiled rotten.

He says, 'But if you must read, I will be right here on your knees.

I had to run to the grocery yesterday evening just to pick up a couple items.  I decided to run to the strip pits before I came home.  

The Snow Geese are passing through...and were on the biggest pond/strip pit.  

The strip pit is huge and they almost covered it from end to end...minus maybe a hundred feet on the end near me.

Other pics will be posted at my other blog tomorrow...I hope you enjoy these.

And today's video:

a quilting tale...

Several years ago a blogfriend participated in a workshop where they made this block.   At the link I have, hers is the 3rd one down, as well as the last one..  She had all these extra blocks and gifted them to me.  And even gave me one good sized piece of fabric.  And while I loved her Christmas quilt version, I did not want to copy hers.

I have had them put away forever, though I get them out a few times a year and look at them.  But crazy me, I was remembering them as being 6 inchs square unfinished...but they are about 5 inches square finished.  I had planned to set them on point...a row to go the length of the quilt.

For the past few years, I have collected Christmas scraps at the quilt shop.  I have been sewing stirips together using 6 inches strips of paper as the foundation.  Next, I am planning to sew these sections end to end...now I think 6 inches is too wide for the size blocks I have.  (But whether I used them with the blocks, I will still sew these end to end to get the right length for a quilt.

So now, I am again unsure what I am doing with the blocks.  I have even considered using them in placemats or something.

A video for you...

Relaxing

 Can you look at him and not smile?  He is living the life!

I was in the sewing room , trying to rearrange some things and came across this fabric. I sent a pic to Lorelei and ask if she wanted a pillowcase.  This is basically the only sewing I have done since working on the curtain panels.  I am not sure when my daughter is coming back for us to finish them.  

I got new puzzles for Christmas besides having some I have bought myself.  I am trying to make up my mind on which one to start.  I want to work my photomosaic of the wolf before I die, but I know it is going to take more than two or three days to do it so am trying to decide whether to start on it or choose another one.

I have had no more problems with vertigo since right after my previous post.   Hopefully it won't pop up again.

I told my Jeremy if I were made of money I would get this for him, but it would be an awful expensive t[shirt for a grease rag.  The part that cracks me up is that last line 'living the dream.'
