Globle Warming?

Or maybe not. I don't really know but I always think lets error on the side of caution .
Anyhoo we've had a really early spring this year many of the flowers blooming are three weeks early. The neighborhood is beautiful with all the blooms. I walk Zack everyday so took my camera today and took some pictures. You know it's spring when you see a hop-scotch game on the side walk.

Quilting With Cats.

Here's the first block I made for Cheri's friend's quilt. I've made two more since but haven't taken a picture yet.
My sewing room was one of the rooms damaged in the flood so I sat up a place to sew upstairs.As soon as the cats saw it they had to join me. I normally don't let them in my sewing room because of the hair factor but they were so happy to join me I didn't have heart to chase them off. Peanut kept moving so close to my cutting I was afraid I might slice his tail off with my rotary cutter, but we made it through without incident.

Gone Quilting!

I was in my usual Spring cleaning frenzy when we had the sewer back up. Like my mom I like to go into each room and clean it completely ,scrub floors ,dust down wall ,clean windows ,wash everything washable and dust everything not. I had finished one bed room even painted and bought new curtains . Then Alas the flood stopped me in my tracks . The basement and family room are immaculate of course thanks to Service Master but still waiting for the new carpet and dry wall. In the meantime everything that that goes down there is up stairs bringing my cleaning to a screeching halt. So I'm putting my cleaning on hold and I'm going to just sew!
I've been agonizing over carpet colors. Here's the samples I've been looking at.The first one is my old carpet (the darker one) and the little one on top is my new choice. Then two pictures of my one cleaned bedroom. That's just an old Kitty quilt on the bed I want to get a new comforter . I have yet to clean the window but think I'll hire Service Master to do them all at once.
PS- Almost forgot my sweet granddaughter Milisa and her young man Jason painted the whole room for me. Thanks guys! Great Job!

The Big Flood!

Yuk, We've lived in our house for thirty years never had a problem until last week and we got a sewer back up flood in our family room and basement. Our house is a bi-level so we're living in the up stairs while the basement and family room are in repair. State Farm was very prompt in getting Service Master out here getting things cleaned up ,sanitized and hauled away. Now we wait for new drywall and carpet. Lucky we got our new furniture out before the water go to it.
Some pixs of the mess. Here Brent and Mick came over to move the furniture. A couple of the water one of George in his recliner as the water creeps toward him. And one of the boys annoying their father after moving the furniture up stairs.

Happy Easter!
