All but one 2008 stragglers are quilted, but no pictures of them yet.. The only one still hanging over my head is the double wedding ring .. needs borders and I believe I will hand quilt it.. Still dreaming about a quilting design for it.. I'm dreaming of a mandel runner for Christmas or a Santa will pockets for a kind of count down.. Seemed to have lost the pattern..
My wish is to clean the house up and design a sewing room out of one of the bedrooms and keep the great room a lot neater than it is right now.. having dreams is always a good thing..
I'm working on pulling out a round flower bed that the deer have decided they love to eat.. The butterfly bush is only 4 inches tall at this point how pathetic.. The hibiscus are chewed to stumps and the crotons are sticks with silly little yellow red and green leaves trying to survive.. The cider tree in the middle is a ball of thin branches spiking every where.. Really bad tree hair day..
Susan is having a gallery showing tonight that I'm invited to..Wish there were someone to go to it with.. I hate to go to these things by myself anymore..
Well, off to try and accomplish some little thing today..

I'm still alive.. Still quilting.. not as fast as I'd like. The dogs are still my companionship.. How pathetic is that..My words seem to fail me.. I want to shout out and yet not understood.. I would really like to get a big trash truck and throw out half of the stuff.. stuff.. stuff.. in this house.. But DH is a saver.. for that day that will never come.. We have to carry our memories in our heads and hearts not on our backs in the form of things.. Things don't fill your heart... But yet I do make quilts which are things, does giving them away count for not carrying them on my back. But, would I carry some of them on my back ... Yes, my purple queen size quilt, my little seasonal quilts, my crazy scrappy quilts.. It's getting heavy carrying all these quilts.. How far will I carry them with me before I pass them on to someone else to carry and love..
Gotta get my camera working.. Got finished projects to post.. But not the double wedding ring.. But contemplating starting another one.. What am I think'n.. all those little pieces.. Pieces of life..
