Another Wednesday.....


Today's picture is my Tuesday's rose from my beloved Riley. Beautiful, is it not?

And today is Wednesday. The morning started out wonderfully mundane. Woke up - did 2 loads of laundry - walked for 30 minutes while the laundry spun around merrily in the dryers (ah the joy of not owning a washer and dryer...NOT) - took a shower - planned out my day of errands and then promptly felt the most horrendous stomach cramps ever. Remember the 1979 movie "Alien" and the creature that popped out of the guy's stomach....? That movie should have never ever been released...it will haunt me to the end of my days. At any rate, I think you have a very graphic photo in your head by now....and I'm glad I could share it.

The rest of the day was spent in bed - errands be darned - and ate nothing but toast and drank tea. Whatever it was is almost gone - but it has drained the life out of this body and has left behind a low grade headache that would really like its body to be able to lay down again - but alas, it is Wednesday and it is Chess Club night and it is 6:20pm and so here I am...at the club with one chess club member dutifully studying chess moves in a book.

Ah - but before I left to open up the club, the rose reminded me of how much I am loved & treasured. That is a very very good thing.... and I am truly blessed.

And if you will note - I have said not one word about the results of the Presidential election....

And when I feel better....I quilt.

Encouragement......

Belonging to several yahoo quilting groups, I read almost all the posts (averaging 50 a day) and was struck by one post in particular. There are times when we all leap out in faith and post photos of our work. I'd like to think we do this with some sort of trepidation, looking for some sort of feedback. Never have I witnessed other than pure kindness when comments are posted in response to a completed project or perhaps just a block. However, this one post brought out something I didn't give much thought to until several days later.. The author pointed out a simple lack of courtesy that prevails among us all. Someone takes the leap - posts a photo of a current project and not one comment was posted. Looking back over several postings and indeed, there were several noticeable lack of comments after one brave soul posted a photo. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. The author of the post simply asked - what does it take of your time to simply post "great job" or "love the...

Pay It Forward...The gift that keeps on gifting.....

Love this idea....absolutely love it! Okay - so you are anxiously awaiting what the idea is all about - but of course you are! I shamelessly took advantage of daughter's blog http://daharadreaming.com/blog/ that brought to my attention the gift that will encircle the world....or so I hope! The first three people who leave a comment on my blog will receive a wonderful gift - sometime this year. Simple enough? Ahhhh - but there is more! You must pass this gift on YOUR blog.... Without regret, I shall simply borrow the rules from daughter's blog - with a few unknown-to-you edits.... *The gift will be something I have made just for you - not something stored away to be brought out now *Package will be mailed sometime during this year *I'm one of those craft-it-all people - so who knows what the heck you'll get.... *Sure - you can regift it.....that's the neat thing about receiving a gift. It's YOUR gift *Yes, I will contact the first 3 people who leave a com...

UFQ #4 on the way! 7 March 2017

Nice to have a plan.  Nice to finagle a makeshift design wall .... Not the best but it works. Layout for UFQ #4 - Funky Curvy Rail.  Did I share this was a class I took so many years ago?  Curved pieces have always been such a challenge - but this instructor (yikes - what is her name?) took the mystery out of it.  Bought the ruler and everything 😄 Layout?  Of course: First row sewn together.  Borders....yes.  Three is the plan.  First one black - then white - then purple.  Widths?  I haven't a clue right now.   Onward to UFQ #4! Sharon aka angel45402 P.S.  Kind of like using my own name versus angel45402......
