Good morning, everyone,
We are chilly, but dry. It will be a great day!
LOIS - good luck at the eye dr. I hope your eyes settle down quickly for you. JUDI just went through this, too.
JANA - thank you! I hope you got to revel in the smell of cotton yesterday, as planned! Is Sarah's kitchen all finished now?
IZZY - all good news! Hallelujah!
KATHY - I'm wondering if Kimberly is being scammed with that credit card demand. It almost sounds like kidnappers demanding ransom. If it were real, there would be paperwork, wouldn't there? And they would share it with her attorney, wouldn't they? It seems that not too long ago, there was a huge security breach where something like 37 million people's info was compromised. Maybe this is a result of that?
CHRISS - sounds like you have been Katy-ized! I would probably choke on air that didn't have a healthy dose of dust and cat hair in it! lol! But I will admit, I've been noticing things around here that should be attended to. And I blame Katy. I was purrfectly happy with everything until she started talking "spring cleaning". Sigh. I think yellow will be a great "popping color" with your black/gray. But then I think almost any color you choose would look great with black and gray
LYN - happy FARTing!
DIANE - Sorry the property isn't going to work out for you. But kudos to your friend for digging deeper into surrounding properties. Just the right piece of land will show up soon and you can get started on Diane's Dream House soon. And what would Diane's Dream House look like? Will you go two-story again? IF we were to move or build new, we're done with stairs.
MARY Q - So did you go back and finish up at KC's? If you set her up with a project, aren't you setting yourself up to quilt it for her later? Think about turning her on to cross-stitch, hand embroidery, crochet. Something that needs fewer supplies and less storage space and little or no quilting.
VELDA - your painting project sounds like a nice break from quilting. I have some outdoor critters that I should re-paint, too, when the weather gets warmer. As for scraps, I did have them sorted by dark, med, light, and white/cream and kept them in a 4-drawer Iris cart. But for my present crazy quilt project, I tossed everything together into a big tote and pull from it. My PLAN is, when I finish this project, to cut the rest of the scraps into usable pieces - squares, strips, rectangles, etc, - and then use them for something(s) out of the Scrappiness is Happiness book.
BECCA - You will miss your wildlife visits but I'm betting you won't miss all the work that went into maintaining your property. Did you say you will have a small, closed in balcony in your new home?
JUDI - Oh, you got Katy-ized, too! I may have to get on the band wagon here, too, in case any of you drop by. I don't want to have the only dusty house! You have a big laundry room! Mine is only a cubby behind bifold louvered doors in our family room, just big enough for W/D, hot water heater, and laundry tub, aka, Scottie's bathtub. Bill hung cabinets above for all the soaps, cleaning supplies, light bulbs, and vases. But it could use Katy's touch.
FLO - any more progress on your kitchen cabinetry? I saw your babies. So very cute!!
Yesterday I made 37 crazy blocks. I think I have just 32 more to make, then I can start doing the gold feather stitching on them. Bill finished quilting my North Stars top so I need to bind that soon, too. I have three more tops in the QQ - The Christmas swap from last summer, plus Chandelier and Christmas Blizzard I did while in Texas this winter. I think Christmas swap (Vintage toys was this year's theme) will be next up on the quilting frame.
We just got our first Boondocker rez of the year - a couple from Alaska want to stay here in April. Yay! We're open for business once again! And from Alaska! My second favorite state!
Happy Quilting!
