Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning!

On the fabric front, I mis- ordered the first fabric and the new one arriving is the lighter, right color. I will use the darker tan for masks for my grands - the boys, are at that age, where, they don't want to be noticed. As for my little girls, pinks and flowers!

Mary - what a great surprise, to have your friends at Yellowstone at the same time, let alone the same campground! We haven't explored the north side of the park, most the south and west area, using West Yellowstone as the campground we stayed at. And going through Rexburg, to Idaho Falls and home that way. Rexburg was about a five hour drive from Ogden, in the old days, before the freeway was put in.

More potholders for me. Finished a dozen yesterday and need about that many more and I will have that set of gifts done. I have made "pies", in strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, peach, pumpkin, and lemon. Would have made apple as well, but still looking for that fabric. Then on to Minnie Mouse quilt for Karlie.

Dinner - well, I stretched the roast for last night and so tonight will be surprise soup from my freezer. I was a bad little girl and didn't label some of them. Good to keep Michael guessing! LOL!

The construction on the street is going well, but I am getting tired of the extra noise. The last of the sidewalks will be added - two houses, just down from me. Then both sides of the street will have a safe walk for the kids to school. Ethan will then have sidewalk all the way from his house to mine. The little pill loves to ride to my house - it is all downhill, but going home, he tries to get one of us to put his bike in the truck and drive him home. His broken big toe is all healed and the boot he had to wear is no longer needed.

My uglies are done - cleaned the hard water marks from my glass shower, kitchen is cleaned and laundry is going. So Batt Cave here I come

Hugs,
Jana

Good late afternoon from warm, sunny, SW. Pa....Another gorgeous day and boy, I'm not complaining...I'm loving every minute of this warm weather and have the kids shaking their heads by not using the AC....I'm quite comfortable and they are all melting, lol.....

Mary, just reading about your up coming trip is great....Since, I haven't experienced the Canyon, I will travel through you and Kathy's eyes....I always remember, years ago, way back when Kathy was with the 1st Tim, the ex, they took the kids to the Canyon and I'm not sure just where they stayed but it was close...One morning, the ex left to see the sights, came back hours later and said, he couldn't find the Canyon...Kathy said, it's a big hole in the ground and he couldn't find it but she had an idea, he found the 1st "watering hole" and spent time there...Since then, Kathy and the 2nd Tim have been to that "hole in the ground" many times and the pictures she has taken are unbelievable.....Maybe in my next life, I'm just going to travel, be like Kathy, lol.....
Most of my Irish chains have been green but my sister's grand daughter's favorite colors were black and red...I had a hard time imagining those colors but it was absolutely gorgeous when it was done...One of my favorites, although I won't tell her.... I also cross stitch each a wedding sampler and need to get cracking on that, as well......

Jana, The only construction going on in my neck of the woods is clearing lots and bringing in new homes....I am amazed, awe struck when I see a home coming down the street...One of the neighbors lost her Dad not too long ago and his house was 3 down from me...It was an older home and this week, they basically tore it down...I know it was hard for the daughter but she said, it was hard to look out her window and see the house sitting there after her day passed....Your family is going to be so thrilled with those pot holders....Wonderful gift!

I finished a bunch of masks this morning, just need to make a couple for a little one starting pre-school...Then I went to Lowes to pick up some Wet n Forget to spray on my side porch and would you believe, while I was there, 2 plants (Cone flowers) jumped in my cart....They were off to the side, on the sale rack and just looked so forlorn I couldn't resist...All they needed was some loving and a good drink of water....I'll give them a couple of days and then find a home in one of the beds......I'm still looking and can't decide on trees....Just want 2, maybe 3 but not sure what......I've always thought, a yard needs trees and I think that will finish my yard perfectly....I forgot to tell you all....One of the grand sons has a Tractor/lawn mower etc. business and for my birthday, he gave me the cutest little battery, self propelled mower....He knew I had someone doing the yard and I wasn't real happy so now I can do it when and how I want it or have Kevin come over and do it....Kathy loved it and did the yard, Kevin said, let him know when it needs done, he's anxious to try it....Maybe, some day, I'll get a chance to use it, lol.....

For my dinner, I'm doing left overs...I made a yellow squash casserole yesterday and that's on tap for tonight....I still have a tiny piece of red devils cake left for afters......

You all have a great rest of the day.....

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