My goal for this site is to share a picture with all of you …. at least 6 days a week … and the only picture I have today is of the progress I made on the Mixed Bag Quilt.

While I was cooking dinner last night ….  I sewed all the 4 x 6 pieces to the 6 x 6 pieces.  It’s super easy because I start with the first one and I do all of them without getting up … or without cutting the thread.   There is a term for it ….  but the words fail me at the moment!

The next step is ironing all the seams so that I can attach the 4 x 10 strips of fabric.

I had my appointment with the chiropractor today  ….. we’re trying natural methods and medicine until I can see my doctor on the 30th (muscle relaxers …etc).  She worked on my arms, neck and shoulders today…. she said my throat and neck felt like I’d been in a bad car wreck and she kept asking me if I was sure I hadn’t hurt myself (not that I remember).

I have a funny little story for you … I called my aunt today to see if anyone in our family has a history of rheumatoid arthritis and I discovered that she and I share this weird fact …. We both get sleepy when we take Advil.  Go figure!  I’m just happy to know I’m not alone … it always feels weird telling people …but I swear it makes me very sleepy!

I had about 3 hours of sleep last night so I’m turing in early!!

See ya!

While Dave was watching the football game last night  … I was cutting fabric (sitting at the dining room table … just a few feet from him …. that qualifies for spending time together doesn’t it?).

Excuse the picture …. it was dark outside!

And as usual I found myself not being able to sleep this morning … so I placed my fabric on the design wall.

My first attempt was so awful … I won’t be showing you that one … the color mixture was yucky in my opinion. (Every time I say “in my opinion” I can hear the judge from the Good Wife say “do you mean in your opinion”?  Those scenes crack me up!!!)

The picture below is option 1 ….. if you want to provide feedback on which one you like better feel free to post a comment …. or send me an email (but …. if I don’t sleep again tonight we may wake up to a finished quilt).

The next picture is Option 2 and it’s the one I have on the Design Wall currently …  but … I think I may like the first one.  I may proceed with option two … just because it will be easier to not change it back.

I think …. but not sure that this quilt will be for one of my nieces (when I’ve wrapped up the quilt top I’ll send her mother a picture …asking for approval).

Are you ready for a laugh?   In between option one and option two … I bent down to see what Miss Bella was trying to get from under the chair ….. and when I raised up … I hit my head on the bannister.  Yep, I had a good cry and then picked myself up and finished the blocks.  Don’t feel bad … I am always doing stuff like this!!! (Hence the reason why I say I have two left feet.)

See ya!

p.s. still waiting on call from doctor that the specialist has been approved.
