Yesterday was a busy day - I got my long list of uglies done AND finished my table topper. Today I plan to make a mug rug to complete the gift I've been assembling for my niece (tote, tissue holder, TT, and mug rug as well as a few other little items.) No occasion - just because I love her and she could use a "Let's Spoil Marcie" day. I think next up will be cat placemats for her mom's birthday. I made her a tote, too, and I want to fill it up with goodies. Placemats should do the trick!
CAROL - good on you for being persistant about the pool. The safety of the little ones is paramount. I'm sure Code Enforcement has to do it properly, though, with letters, notices, etc. It takes time. Would be nice if it were Jana's Aaron you were dealing with! Nice to be able to donate such beautiful quilts to someone who needs them. They will be loved and appreciated for a long time to come.
BECCA - Great that you can go for a swim! The place where you live has a pool? Indoor or outdoor? You said you were going to do some writing? Correspondence? Family history? Or perhaps creative writing? Writing is one of my hobbies that have gone by the wayside since quilting took over my life. But if I were young and choosing a new career, writing would be in the running!
LORI - how did the new sewing place work out for your group? I'm not a great sheet folder either because I'm simply too lazy to do it. But I can if I have to.

JANA - how are things going at your quiet house? Did you take Mr Grumpy-pants for a ride? The airbags are a worry, but I would also worry about the seatbelt. Maybe a nice hour sitting on your back deck with a book would suffice as "getting out of the house" for a while longer. We're ready for Sarah and Sandee to arrive. Looking forward to it, but don't expect them until pretty late. Bill told them if they have any problems, to give him a call but sounds like they are doing just fine on their own!
Our jambalaya last night was tasty. I just tossed things into the pot. There is enough left for tonite, but we might be having tomato basil soup and grilled cheese sandwiches instead. Bill will choose. Either works for me.
What are you choosing tonite?
