[purrfect-lady]

Good morning,

JANA - good news about the angiogram being this morning. Just get it over with, is always my plan of attack with unpleasant things. I will be in the dentist's chair at the same time, attacking a little cavity. I will be thinking of your Michael and praying for a good outcome. Your tote running plan is smart and I think a good one if they will ride on the seat OK. I bet your kids will be pleased!

CHRISS - don't overdo! Glad your dad is showing improvement. Does he still have a dressing on his leg requiring Home Health? Is Marilyn still with her boyfriend? I will be in the hospital only one night. Usually hip replacement patients go home day of surgery, walking out of hospital with a walker, but my surgery is set for late in the day, so they said they said they will most likely keep me overnight. I will have a PT session the next morning an then they will set me free. I was thinking of a phone charger but didn't give thought to a long one, Thanks!

VAL - I cut my binding at 2-1/2". But I'm going to give your binding method a try on an orphan block one of these days. You may need to remind me and I would appreciate that. I probably won't be sewing much until after I am able to climb a full staircase. And sit at the machine. I think we all did a UFO count here one or two years ago. Usually I'm on top of them better than I have been this past year.

JUDI - Is all the decorating done yet? Ryker is already 9? Don't 9 yr olds love Legos? I know my DSIL, Lee, loved Legos clear into his early teens. (I've known Lee since he was 9).

Yesterday I got all my unpainted Nativity figures out - two full sets, one large (9" tall) and one smaller (5" tall), plus a few stray extra figures that go with the larger set. I got my paints, brushes, etc all ready to go. But I probably won't get to them today. The funny thing about the large set (which is a duplicate of my original set) - in ceramics when you clean your greenware before firing, many folks carve their initials in the bottom of the piece. Someone has already carved my initials, MZ in every piece!

Today will be busy. I have a T-spine MRI at 0715 this morning, my dental filling at 1000, and my dental cleaning at 1:00. In between the dental appts I'll swing back into Michael's for a couple of things I forgot. I'm not sure what supper will be tonite. Maybe Polenta slices baked with a little marinara sauce and cheese with roasted broccoli & cauliflower. And a salad on the side.

I'm off to shower! Extra prayers for Garry and Michael today.

Good morning Girls

Darn... had a post started and lost it! Guess I'll have to start over!

The Carpenters are here!!! The got here about 7:30!! Man it's still dark here at 7:30!!! Are you people crazy!??? The old counter tops are off and they are working getting the new ones on. I peeked in the kitchen and saw one piece of the new stuff... It's so pretty! Other than that, I'm trying to stay out of the way. The coffee pot is set up in the bathroom so I can get it for my refills all day. After while I'll go hide in the sewing room!

Maryz... Many many years ago I had a friend with her own kiln. She taught me how to clean ceramic things, paint and fire them! It was kind of fun. I'm a lousy painter so my pieces were not all that great, but I did enjoy the cleaning part. I bet your Nativity Set will be so pretty. I think there's a ceramic shop around here somewhere, but I sure don't need another hobby! Hope all goes with the MRI and dental work today.

Judi... How cool for Ryker to get an 8 point buck!!! He must be over the moon!! I just can't believe he in 9 years old already!! How nice to hear from Denice, glad she is doing well. I had talked to her not too long after her husband died and she was so very sad.

Lois.... Did you find something in all your magazines to inspire your next project? I've been watching some tutorials on Youtube for ideas to use up layer cakes I have. Might have to postpone at least until after I get all the craft fair stuff done.

Jana.... Send prayers for Michael this morning that all goes well at the cath lab.

Chriss...I'm guessing you're probably right---swelling would go down with feet elevated, but I'm guessing your Dad isn't a "sit still" kind of guy, especially being full time caregiver for Judy. Would there be a place that Judy could visit--even as respite for your Dad?

Flo.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY... I saw the picture of your new puppy... she is a cutie!!

Yesterday I finished quilting a small little quilt that made using some left over 10" squares and I KNOW I had the binding strips all made and ready to go, but do you think I could find them??? I need to have another discussion with St. Anthony to help me find them---or I'll have to start over, in which case, as soon as I make a 2nd set I'll find the first one!

Think I'll grab some more coffee and go hide in the sewing room.

Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday!!

Good morning ladies and happy tuesday.

Mad Monday yesterday. I got six blocks of a twelve block quilt done. The pattern is called Maze and I got it from a friend of mine at the shop. She made two of them and it looked very simple, so I decided I would try it. It is very simple.

Tony's Amazon order finally got delivered yesterday, so he was happy about that. I haven't been privy to much more information. I'm hoping the church ladies are bringing him food.

Maryz when you're ready to try that binding, just let me know, and I'll text the information to you. Sounds like you have a quite busy day. Hope you get some sew time in.

Maryq i hope we get to see pictures of your kitchen when it's all done. It sounds marvelous. Good idea, though, staying out of the way. That's what I did when my kitchen was being remodeled.

Judi, that is quite a buck for such a little guy. I'll bet he's still in seventh heaven.

Chriss i am with Maryz, a bit worried about you overdoing it. It might be best for everyone if you found a place, like Mary said, to visit for a while. I am sure you feel much better after your surgery, but there may still be healing going on inside. I cannot tell you how many times I have run across this situation. One spouse has dementia and then the other one gets sick. My dad actually had his heart attack while he was trying to care for my mother.

So happy to have heard from Denise. Years ago, she made me an angel Sun Bonnet Sue. It hung above my desk for the longest time. When I quit that job, I put it away. I should find it and make a little wall hanging out of it. That was when my sister was sick.

Sending prayers this morning for Garry and Michael. Maryz too. Hope all their health problems show improvement.

Well, I best get to getting. I just spent a bunch of time making my lunch to take to the quilt shop today. I haven't had breakfast or anything else yet. So I must go.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
