My Friend is Leaving. :-(

Sharon is loaded and packed to move to Indians.  We will no longer have sewing days or quilt shopping days.  I am sure gonna miss her.  I only wish the best for her on her new adventure - being near grandkids, going to their games and hanging out with her family.  Sending lots of love forward.  Thank God for texting, phones and friendships.  All of the friendships I have ever had have blessed me beyond measure. 

Good luck, Sharon!  May all the rest of your dreams come true.  Stay in touch!  ❤️ 

 

I Fell. :-(

Walking in the pasture, my foot caught on something and there I went.  I was unconscious when Steve found me.  When I sat up, I heard gurgling in my ear.  Because of that, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital.  It’s all good, just looks nasty.  

The Dr said as a side note I have an eroding blood vessel between C2 and C3.  What the heck does that mean?!?

 

Daydream (The Quilt)

 A couple of years ago, I bought a magazine because of this picture:

It reminded me of a quilt that I grew up with and I decided I wanted to make it.  While looking at the picture below, I saw on the left side what I consider a mistake, but reading through the magazine, supposedly the lady ‘intentionally’ put the squares in incorrectly.

Well, *I* was not going to be like that lady - mine is finished and, in my opinion, correct.  😂

I put the extra wide borders (10”) on it because we wanted it to come down to the rail on the side.

We (Steve and I) think it is perfect! 

 

Another one goes to the quilter.  😊

Randomness - Pin Cushions :-)

 

I collect pin cushions.  I don't think I have ever shared that before, but I think they are neat.  So, if I find one that I love at a garage or estate sale, I buy it. New ones don't interest me as much as 'story' ones; loved and used.  Anyway, I decided to try my hand at making one.  I had no idea it would be so big, but here it is. BIG.  I was disappointed, but I went ahead and finished it.  It actually comes in much more useful than I had ever imagined it would.  It sets near my sewing machine and because of its size, it doesn't get moved around much, so actually big is handy!  Whoot!

I have been sick with an awful sinus infection for 2 months.  I finally gave in and went to a new ENT.  He took one quick look at my sinuses, ordered a CAT scan and came in to tell me I have multiple problems that need surgery to fix.  He went on to tell me he would do it in his office and liked it being like oral surgery.  He will give me Valium, numb my nostrils, wait a few minutes and then numb my sinuses and do the surgery.  This is crazy.  I am terrified of this surgery.  In the office?  Seriously?  And I will be awake?  Ok, 'nuff said about that.

Here is a pic of some of my other pin cushions...

Tomorrow we go on a bike ride with our new friends.  My bestie here and sewing buddy is moving to Indiana, it will be tough.  I know it was tough on my friends in Louisiana when I left so I am getting the other end of it now.  Life goes on, but changes hurt sometimes - on both ends.  This is how the world twirls.  Everyone has to make decisions that is best for them, and the world rewinds and starts a new song.
