We all have other things we do other than quilting. For many years I bred and showed dogs, Bouviers. Now I help other people getting started breeding by offering any help needed delivering puppies. Today, I'm waiting for a call, a Yorkie is due any minute, but no signs of labor yet. While I wait, doing some house work, reading our board and I know the minute I go into the sewing room, the phone will ring.

Football and sewing and washing.

After church, I painted the trim in my guest/sewing room. Now I have to wash the blind. It is awful! Then get cleaned back up to go to DS's for dinner. No sewing today unless it's after we get home.

Sewed some blocks together last night. Today I should be studying, but I'm looking at postings here with football on TV. This evening we're going to a concert for our anniversary! :lol:

Wreaked a knee moving up and down stairs and am now sitting alot with ice and pain killer. Dr says a minimum of 10 days off my feet if possible. 3 to go!!! I've worked on my Grandmothers Flower Garden, read 2 books, did some laundry with hubby helping and surfed the net!! Tuesday we leave with another load to our new home that my son and daughter in law helped load last night when they came for supper.

Church

maybe get some sewing done...?

Since I got home from church, I've had a nap, cooked lunch, read a book, watched parts of two football games (sad that Peyton Manning and Colts lost), answered my e-mail, updated my Facebook page, talked to my DS, commented on several Board pages, and cut some more HST for a Lady of the Lake quilt for my grandson. Now I'm heading out to Bible Study at my church. Another quiet Sunday!

7:30 am- breakfast with Dad and the sisters and niece. Church at 9:30, came home to the endless laundry, organized the 3 tubs of Christmas fabric to make it easier for dds to pick some, off to county fair with bff, back home, help ds with his laundry, barb-b-q spare ribs and ziti are in oven, chillaxin' here for 15 min., then set table for dinner. GS comes at 6, then hanging with him (he's 2 and a ton of fun).

Looked at a project I need done in 2 weeks, went into closet for my light box and got side tracked with the organizing. Guess I'll venture back into the closet now, knowing I shouldn't get side tracked this time.

I already got groceries, packed up things I sold on ebay, and nursed sick kids. They started school wednesday and they are sick already... then I finished another Quilts for Kids quilt and now I am sewing together a small bag for a coworker. Later, I will give the kids their baths, get them off to bed and get myself ready for work tomorrow.
Aahhh, the joys of running a household...

Today is football day for us. Then nap time, then grab what you can for dinner, then plan the upcoming week!

Grocery shopping, laundry, made chili and a chocolate pie for after supper, cleaned out the shed and put summer things away, nap, now waiting for supper to finish cooking, I really should be doing some laundry instead of surfing the net!! After supper will be dishes and laundry and maybe some quilting.

Ahem...I finished by first bow tucks bag!!!!! My son is cutting the bottom piece for it as we speak. Then it's done. Can you see my cartwheels???

Football..and babysitting the grandson,Jack. he is 3. then we went to a fundraiser dinner for a girl that has cervical cancer..spaghetti dinner.

and now, back to football.

Just 'be there' and do what you always do - love her.

I had breakfast, knitted for a bit and then wandered out to the garden for a bit, still have some cherry tomatoes.
Had lunch and then the Dodgers and Astros baseball game was on...too bad the Dodgers got beat 7-4.
Napped and woke up to a very warm and dark house. The transformer down the road blew up in and the power was out for 1 1/2 hours. I found my headlight and used the treadle machine to sew some string quilt blocks until the power came back on.

Watered the Yard, Laundry, Little House work :( Finished up 2 Quilts for Kids.:) and I took a nap YAH.
Over all this was a good Weekend, Went and worked with a Group yesterday w/ Linus Program. Had a lot of fun !!

WOW!

WE are totally busy women!

Laundry, and some sewing. I have to get busy on my sewing....Christmas will be here soon.

LOL, amazing, even in the dark you can sew. !!! :thumbup:

As long as I have my headlight on and a flashlight behind the machine, its possible!!
:P

Cleaning after a sick cat, laundry, exercise, harp practice and I also did some silk ribbon embroidery. Now, I can do some hand-quilting! I don't have to cook tonight-DH turn <3 - I don't usually do this much, haven't sleep - sick cat.

Thought I'd update, Mama dog went into labor around 5PM Sunday. She had 3 pups, 2 girls and a boy. Everyone is doing well. I took a picture of them with my Blackberry and can't get it uploaded onto my computer. Anyway, got home at 2AM, fixed hubby's lunch, got into bed about 2:30 and up at 6AM for work. Worked all day, then came home and flea bathed 4 large dogs. Thank goodness, I have today and Weds. off

Finally working after being out of work for 17 months with no unemployment. I am doing the happy dance.

I sewed most of last Sat.,Sun.,Mon., and today. Other than laundry, housework, taking care of 3 little dogs, 4 cats and a cockatiel, then I sew. Little dogs think I still work and want to go to bed, cats have to come out because they share my sewing room. Dogs get up around 2:30, so I get in some free time to do all of above. I retired June 2nd. I enjoy getting some quilts made,during the day.

I had hoped it would rain today so I could justify playing with my sewing mach. Since the rain hasn't started yet, I have to go outside & move some topsoil. Oh well, it needs to be done.................. LOL
