Wow MARCH 9th, 2009
Where does the time go. What have I accomplished in a month.. Wall in Utility room repaired. Painted it a khaki greenish tan.. I like the color so much I pained the master bedroom's bath the same color.. I love it .. So much better than the previous pale pink.. What was I think'n.. Yes, I know, I did that to get in my husbands face.. Hee Hee.. He really never cared.
The house we had put a contract on that we didn't get ... went into contract in Dec the last week to someone else. I just let it go.. Saying if God wanted me up there he would make a house available.. Well this week got a call from realtor .. Are we still interested in property.. The contract on it is falling apart since these people can't seem to get funding.. So we get a second shot at it.. Maybe..
Let see what else.. Had a tooth pulled .. one with old root canal and crown.. Cracked most likely a couple of years ago and smouldering infection.. Feel so much better.. I know that is crazy. I don't have 4500 dollars to do the implant thing.. So I will live with the space.. Life is short..Dentist also found two new cavities. How does that happen when I go every six months..
I also went to Tally and visited for 5 or 6 days .. Ranen's birthday party. It was a great visit.. I may be going back up this month and kids are coming here for 5 days for spring break.. Life goes on.
I am re installing new molding around the utility room door and fixing a shelve in a cabinet.. Boy do I surprise myself.. Gotta get back to work
I will be getting a new camera so I can up load pics again..
Peace and Joy daily..

February 2, 2009
I'm still quilting but have been unable to post because my old 1998 computer is sooo slow on the Internet and even trying to work on it.. So I broke down and got a newer computer.. Really happy with my new HP.. There is a learning curve here .. But I'm heading toward success.. My camera doesn't work on this computer .. So I'll have to get a new little computer and then post a whole bunch of finished projects..
I've been using up all those orphan blocks from other projects over the years.. I went to Tallahassee for my Grandson's Birthday.. Had a great time. Got a little crazy a fabric sale and came home with 31 yards.. I laughingly told a friend I had enough fabric for the next 27 years.. Most likely pretty true.. Then a friend was throwing out quilting books and fabric.. I came home with another 7 or 8 yards and 5 new books to me.. I'll pass a rotary cutting book on to a neighbor who is getting into quilting.
I'm working on a quilt using "Lazyqalquilting" funky letter blocks.. It's orphan blocks and funky letters, applique vine leaves and flowers.. Love Life.. It will be funky for sure.. But, I always love just starting and seeing where the fabric leads me.
I will have to wait til the end of the week to get a new camera.. Excited.. So much to take pics of.. I guess I should get some work done today.. It's really cool and windy down here.. So quilting sounds good.. and cooking another pot of soup .. My favorite food...
