I haven't posted here since 4-6? boy, have I been busy. DD was in the hospital twice, and lives near MIL, but she still works full time, so I had to fill in the gaps asap, which was quite a bit. Can't quilt/sew with little ones. Managed to get on here, sometimes, and there were times, I was typing one handed, lol...I mostly left board online, and tied up my phone. At first, hubby was aghast, but he ain't home that much. When he learned to call me on cell, he just accepted that i had to have someplace to 'light' for a few minutes throughout the day, to keep from feeling, tied down. I love my grandbabies, and I love keeping them, but day in and day out...I'm old and tired...well, mostly tired, lol...I'm not as old as I talk. I'm not as young as I talk, either! :wink:
so, anywho, as I am taking a break, here, I am finishing up a project, got another one, already spreading out in cave...for a friend that needs cheering up. She has ducks and chickens as pets, and one of her ducks was murdered! Three local thug-dogs, dug a hole under her fence and well, you can guess the rest. I'm glad I wasn't there. She has a pen, but let them roam, the fenced in area of the yard, in the daytime, and wasn't gone all that long. poor thing. Hubby says she has cried a lot.
I have a full size quilt, I have mentioned here, before, I have been just calling it, my roses/tulips quilt...might become it's permanent name, lol.
It's a lot of pink and purple, and a medium lime and some spring green. Oh one of my girls was there, when I bought the fabrics that I was putting with border fab at home...oh, did she think that was LOUD!!!
Have pattern in a book, and did a very good job at getting close to the pic. I can't wait to do it, and for her to see it. She is very forthright and may still, say, OK....if that's what floats yer boat...but I think she will be surprised though.
Gonna do a small wall hanging for another friend, and wish I could get it done this week. Maybe I'll hop on that one, while doing chickens...gonna see her around end of first week in May, and would really like to be able to give it to her then. we'll see. I plan, then life gives me, what it thinks I should be doing.
After my daughter came home, her hubby had a birthday, and they let the baby have a peanut butter cookie. I had just left, after rocking her to sleep. She was fine then, heard her cry out as I was going out the door, and DD went to check on her. Was home, maybe five or ten minutes, and hubby said, "They are taking Alexia to emergency room, she is having an allergic reaction!" I was crying, but thought to call ahead to hospital. Wanted them to be ready. They didn't waste any time, when baby got there, and she had to have a shot in each leg.
Was on the phone with DD when nurse moved something and baby hollered. I heard the nurse say, "I'm not coming over there..." I know they hate having to be the ones that scare the babies, but it saves their lives.
Now DD has to keep an epi-pen for her. Which means I will have to have it, when she is with me. I used to carry one. Guess doc thinks I'll be ok without it now. I'm not worried, but Alexia needs to gain four pounds to be able to handle that amount of medicine, so I guess they will chubby her up a bit more. She is a round cutie now.
Well, will be posting my sewing cave pics very soon, and wish I could have backed up further, so you weren't right on top of my shelves. Makes it hard to see how nice the room is, very functional. I love it. Better get back to it, in a few minutes, too. ttfn, Qnc
