Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning!

We survived our windstorm yesterday though I expect when it gets light we will see several limbs laying on the ground that did not. I'll let Tractor-boy go out and pick them up - and blow off the cement parking pads. My sis should arrive tomorrow afternoon so there will be a few indoor uglies to do today, too, but not much. Laundry, vacuum, bathroom, and Mr. Dog needs a bath. That's about it.

Yesterday I finished my wall-hanging. And now it's hanging on my wall! I posted a photo if you wan to see. And last night I finished my big counted cross-stitch, too, and started sewing on about 200 tiny beads for 'snow'. I might get them done today. and then it will be ready for framing! But here's the thing - it's a Santa and reindeer. When it takes me 18-36 months to finish a project, I'm not going to display it just 4 weeks a year. By golly, it's gonna be up a while!! If I live long enough, my house will be decorated for Christmas year round! I already have three others up on the walls! lol!

JANA - So happy you found some wallpaper for the bathroom! It's going to look great! How was the big birthday party? Did you get some cake? Please let it be white. I love white cake.

LINDA - I love tractor shows, too. We used to go to them quite often. Years ago Bill restored my dad's 1948 Farmall, "Zeke", and we took it to the shows and Bill drove it in the parades. There's something about tractors! Love 'em! But you're right - they need to design a few seating areas. All that time on your feet can get painful as well as tiring. Glad you saved all your info on your computer! Bill has an extra external hard drive to save photos, etc. Just in case. But then computers are his biz. I don't have a clue in my head about them!

BECCA - your place sounds so pretty! Having been through NC several years ago (before I knew you), I know the entire state is pretty!

VELDA - your steak dinner sounds delish! Bill and I almost always split baked potatoes. We buy our spuds at Costco and they are giant! One potato was so big we both ate on it for two days!

Last night I made a scramble but Bill chose to eat 4-day old lasagna instead. I opted for the scramble and there is enough for tonite. So supper is already cooked! I'll make a salad on the side.

What's cookin' at your house?

Hello everyone,sunny & 64 is supposed to be our hi.Wish this could last.Much too soon.But did notice my daffodils are up with blooms on themSo hope the cold doesn’t harm them.Its about a month before they bloom.

Good morning ladies,
Mary, your wall hanging is just beautiful. I don't know how you do It, but it is beautiful to look at.
Just getting over the last remnants of a migraine. So, today will be slow and easy. Kids kind of got a kick out of poppa making dinner for them last night. The youngest one just kept saying oh dear, oh dear....JR said. He had to kind of snicker at him.
He is doing really well with his non teeth issue. I got him some baby food fruit to jazz up his yogurt and cottage cheese.
DD got home late yesterday, although she still had to go into the office. Apparently they had a bus accident as they were all coming back into town. I imagine that is where she is this morning too.
So, today, I just made a tray of homemade noodles, so will be chicken and noodles, along with mashed potatoes. I think JR should be able to chop them up fine enough to eat.
You all have a great day. Becky

Good afternoon from semi dreary, not as chilly, SW. Pa...Did stick my nose out to get the paper and of course to feed Jake and beginning to think, (hopefully) spring is on the way....

Mary, I did get a peek at your wall hanging and am in awe...I just can't imagine even thinking of doing something like that...What a treasure....I can feel the excitement building with you DS coming..If she's anything like you, I can imagine the trouble you 2 will get into, fun trouble!

Becca, I agree about N. Carolina being a gorgeous state...Have been through it many times both up and down and border to coast...Besides visiting with Terry when he lived there, I think driving through the Smokies on our way to Tenn. was my favorite....So far my daffodils are in hiding......Your DH is so lucky to have you spoiling him....

Tina, hope you do get a chance for a nap, you certainly do deserve it.....

Not much happening in this household, again today...Terry just called and was going to visit with Jim and of course take him a Frosty from Wendy's....The boys have really pulled together with the visiting this past week...Now, I'm worried about the end of next week...Terry and I are flying to Texas for Stephan's boot camp graduation and I'll not be able to visit....Tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment and then for sure, I'm seeing Jim...Tuesday, my sister is having her wrist surgery and that will probably be a the crack of dawn and then hopefully, I'll be able to get my hair cut...After a week of doing nothing, I'm already tired when I think about it, lol....

For my dinner, don't want to think about that either.....Whatever falls out of the fridge will be fine......

You all have a great day...........

Happy eating..............


Eagle Update:
So far, just 2 eggs in our nest but you just never know when Mom might give us another surprise...The Berry nest in Georgia had 1 hatch, another to go and those big babies in the Ft. Myers nest are flapping away....What a joy to see the eagle population come back In full force......
