Lazy Blogger


Can't believe I haven't blogged since the 8th. Just been busy I guess. I'm trying desperately to get this quilt done for my sister by her b-day April 28. Here are some of the blocks I've done so far.

No More Prozac for Jack

About ten days ago we put our hyperactive Jack Russell, Jack on Prozac.Well starting tomorrow I'm weaning him off it. I think he's suicidal .He just lays up on our bed. The little guys spirit is broken. We want our little bad boy back.
On the quilting front I'm starting a new quilt motivated by this one that was in last years Row Robin . 30'S fabric flowers on a Kona Snow back ground. Will post pictures of the first four blocks I've made for mine tomorrow.

More Quilting and Family.

We had family over for dinner to celebrate two DDIL's B-days Wed. Kathy, Micks wife and Cheri Brent's wife
. I made a Prime rib roast. I'm not a big meat eater and usually eat Chicken and Fish. But... OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO GOOD. I felt like weeping LOL I'll be making another soon.
On the quilting front here are a couple pictures the City Kittys I'm working on.

Still around.





I'm still around just been sewing like maniac. Here is a picture of the quilt top I made for Jake. It's the yellow,Brick Road pattern done in brown and black. I'm not real crazy about it but it's a good pattern and color for a boy I guess. I hope he likes it anyway.

A little of this and that.

  • I've been working on my City Cats quilt.Actually have five blocks finished but this is the only one I've taken a picture of .Will get that done that afternoon and post them later.
  • Also the beautiful charcoal my DDIL Kay made for me this winter. I just love it! I had it framed last month just got it back because of all the snow the truck bringing the museum glass for it was late.But as you can see it's been worth the wait.

Cabin Fever.




Not much going on around here just snow, snow ,snow. This has been the second snow-est Jan. in recorded history around here and the sixth coldest. Just been hunkered down waiting for a thaw.
Sat was Nick's birthday. The whole family got together he cooked his famous chili and grill cheese sandwich's and grandson Will made brownies and carrot cake. Yum ! After big discussion about who makes the best Chili it was decided there will be a family chili off next summer. Since Mick only likes canned chili that's what he'll be bringing. And I'll be making my Grandma Myers tomato soup recipe they all make fun of. Watch if in a secret taste test they don't pick one of those.LOL
