I received two great blocks from Toriabelle today. Thank you so much. The colors are great and will go very nicely with other blocks received in this swap.

Sorry for a less than great photo. It does not do the blocks justice!

Those are some awesome blocks!

OK... I am feeling totally overwhelmed by life in general at the moment. My in-laws will be here in less than 2 weeks, and my house is a mess. Add to this that the AC in the main level of our house has died, as has the AC in both our cars, and the temp. and humidity here are both higher than normal. Can you hear me scream from where you are? EEEEEEK!!!

I have had unimaginable trouble getting my blocks to come out to the right size (regardless of what the patterns say, and how carefully I follow them!!), and my darn iron even messed up the block I made tonight. I changed the design so I could cut off the worst of the stain, and I think it looks pretty good now, but I am still SOOOOO frustrated! I am sending the block, but with the condition that if it bothers my partner at all, or if she is not COMPLETELY happy with it, she MUST tell me so I can make another one for her.

Anyway.... I finally have my blocks ready to mail to Vickie Veach, Barbara Foote, and Barbara Dippel. I am pretty sure I still owe blocks to PaintMeJudy and PokerDiva. PLEASE tell me if I still owe you a block and you are not included in this list!!!

Sorry to be venting like this to you all, but thanks for "listening"!! Also, a big thanks to my partners for the terrific blocks I have received, and for their patience with me! :wink:

You have had quite a boatload of difficulties. Things will smooth out. We had 103 yesterday here in KS, so I can certainly relate to the AC difficulties. Thank goodness our works in all but one car. Have a great visit with the relatives and don't sweat the small stuff.

cnolan:

You are going to do just fine. I can totally understand the pressure you are under, just went thru it. TIme to delegate a bit girl and take one thing at a time. Remember, it is not the house they are coming to see, it is the family and the reason for the visit. I have to tell myself that all the time with the inlaws. I did not realize I had stuff on my ceiling when they came. Ooops, did not look up enough, God would have told me if I had. Your blocks are very lovely.
