The sun came out for a few short minutes today and I snapped this picture really fast!

Tomorrow it’s headed to the long arm quilter and the next time you see it …it will be finished.

I can’t wait to see the finished product!!

Now for some more personal stuff …..
I seriously do not feel good! Even holding my cell phone to my ear hurts my arms and my hands.
More tests on Thursday so hopefully an end to pain and exhaustion is near!

Several people have said diet and excersise will make me feel better. So I’ve gone on weight watchers and I’m walking on my treadmill … every day. So far it hasn’t helped …but it hasn’t hurt either.

Yesterday I said all day that there was no way I could go to Leadership in January …today I gave myself a mental slap … I will feel better in January! (Must remind myself to keep sayin it and believing it!)

See ya later!
P.S. Snow is in our forecast …I hope they are wrong!

To pin or not to pin

The question is  …. to pin or not to pin.

When Kim was here ….. she said it took too long to pin the rows … so she didn’t.  Turns out her quilt turned out just fine.

So, last night as I was trying to wrap up Brooke’s quilt and I decided to try it.

Well … let me just say … it don’t work for me!!

After removing the very crocked first row and starting all over …..  I decided I’ll go back to be a rule follower and pin my rows.

I’m officially done with Brooke’s quilt … and I hope to share the picture soon … I’m waiting on the sun to come out!  (It may be a while!!!)

The picture above is of the Flower Quilt (that I started in my video …. many moons ago) I decided to go ahead and finish it real quick since all it needs is for me to sew the rows together.

Now I just need to decide who I should give it to … I’m kinda thinking maybe me.  LOL  The reason I say that is the first two quilts I made … I keep protected (meaning they stay on my shelf).   I’ve officially given away more than I’ve kept so that’s a good thing!!

On a more personal note … I’m headed to the doctor on Monday… I’ve hurt myself and how and what I did is to ridiculous to share online!!  I will say in my defense these eyes of mine don’t work like they used too!!  (and might I add that getting older just plain stinks!!)

I’m feeling a bit stressed … Xmas is in 12 days … not one present has been bought and zero Christmas cards have been mailed …but yet here I am posting my personal blog (does it count if I’m on my phone and laying on the couch).  In my defense writing on a blog takes zero energy ….. it’s usually the content that requires work.

By the way … I found a new app to resize pictures on my iPhone.  We’ll see if it works and how the quality is (I’m looking for a quick and easy way to post on my blog from my iPhone) .

See ya!

p.s. say a little prayer I don’t end up in the ER tomorrow (I’m hoping I can wait til Monday to see the doctor).

What’s wrong with this picture?

OMG ….. What’s wrong with this picture?

That HUGE Light!!!

I thought it was much smaller …Holy Cow .. I can’t keep that thing on my desk (it’s so big it looks like it might attack me).

So, here’s the story ….

We’ve seen the sun once in the past 7 days ….. maybe it’s been longer I’ve lost track of the days.

Every morning … like clockwork I check the weather app … it’s total gloom and doom!!

A few days ago I received my Thyroid newsletter (not sure of the official name but that’s what I call it) and wouldn’t you know it mentioned Winter Blues with women with Thyroid issues.   It suggested a Daylight … so what did I do? I ordered one … especially considering the weather forecast for the next week is CLOUDY.

It arrived today …. I will use it tomorrow  …but I’m thinking I should have done my homework a little better and found one that matched my house.  Dave is going to think I’ve lost my mind … LOL  If the light works … I’ll be happy!

It’s no secret I’m on a mission to feel better.  I’ve started using doTerra Oils … and now the Daylight  …. what’s next?

Gotta run …. . it’s time to cook dinner and I’m too tired to even think about it!!

Long Arm Quilter

by 1 Comment

Good news …. I found Shirley’s phone number (Long Arm Quilter) and I’m taking Brooke’s quilt to her next Wednesday.  It’s not ready yet ….but it will be by next Wednesday.

So, a few of you lurkers have expressed some interest …..   I love it!

I never finished the Flower Quilt Video (part two) … but …..  the Squares and Diamonds Quilt is the same ….. just smaller.

Heres’ the Squares and Diamonds Quilt Video…..

Here’s part one of the Flower Quilt (part two was never made) but all  you do is add more blocks to make it larger.

Another video showing the Flower Quilt (also called 80 block Quilt)

See ya!

p.s. My energy level is at an all time low …. I was just fine until noon … then I bottomed out.   So ….   I ordered myself a Therapy Light (if you  have thyroid issues it has been recommended).  I’ll let you know if it makes a difference.  At this point I’m ready to try anything to get my energy level back!!
