Hello Weekend

Hello Weekend

Well I'm sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days.  I have had a couple of unbeiveable days of fun packed events lol.  Dr. visits yuck.  Glad they are in the past. 
I did a bad thing and went to the fabric store yet again.  I found some really cute fabric that I couldn't live without so of course they came home with me.  I have been working on the quilt for my daughter in law also and the scripture quilt.  I took one of the blocks that has some hand sewing that needs to be done with me to the appointments and thought I would be smart went early to have some time to sew and of all times they called me in early!!!!! lol  I had 2 appointments and thought that can't happen twice so went to the next was there 20 minutes early sat down got my sewing out and got 6 stictches sewn and was called!! so I got 8 stitches sewn lol  Oh well I'll get it done tonight while I'm home alone.  I did a Birthday cake this morning for a little boy that is the Grandson of one of my friends it's Star Wars themed and to tell you the truth I have no idea anything about Star Wars lol.  I hope he likes it.  I have another cake on the 5 th of next month that is Golfing themed I got that one lol.

Back to quilting lol  I got my comic book boards on Thursday and started folding fabric it may take me a couple of weeks to get this project done I can only do a few and I have to move on to something else my attention is not focused on the end result as of yet.  My sister Anna has 3 acrylic shelves that the boards are going to fit into like a glove and I am going to have Joe help me mount them on the wall so I will have all my fabric in one place which will be a huge blessing.  I only have 4 quilt blocks left for my daughter in laws quilt you would think that would be enough motivation to finish it but for some reason I have a lack a daisy attitude today I did manage to cut the fabric for the next 2 blocks and print off the paper piece patterns for them then I wondered to Embroidery Library.com another favorite place of mine.  It's a VIP weekend!! so of course I had to go buy some patterns to get my freebies lol.  I saw a project for a table runner for Thanksgiving so I think I may start some embroidery today and then maybe just maybe since I'll be in my sewing room I'll sew lol.  ]

Nancy went to Texas this weekend to pickup her husband whos semi truck broke down please remember them in your prayers the repairs on that truck are very expensive.  Continue prayers for Brandie and Greg both please as Greg recovers from his surgery and for Brandie can't mention it but God knows her needs.

TODAY'S TIP:  If your planning a party of any kind start a few weeks early gathering all your decorations and party favors.  If you use a rubber bin print off a list of the things you need and tape it to the top of the bin as you buy an item mark it off.  This allows you to buy things on sale and you can add or remove items as you think of them.  This takes some of the stress off of the "last minute" stuff.
This works for the Holidays also (I have found bins in colors to match the Holidays)

Proverbs 17:3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace is for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.
