Best laid plans

I spent most of the morning thinking of what I was going to post for really random Thursday. Then DH came home early and decided we needed to go to town to get some tools and parts. But first we need to stop and take care of a small job.

We all know what my work in progress is right now:

021

I didn’t get anything done on it last night. But DH and I had a really nice time last night. We went to a very nice restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal. DH told the hostess that we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, so we received wonderful service. Then we spent the rest of the evening talking about “remember when” and then speculating on what we’ll do in the next 30 years.

Thanks to everyone that sent us “Happy Anniversary” wishes. It was so nice to know how much you care.

Happy Anniversary

Sorry I wasn’t here yesterday. The weather conditions definitely affect the internet and I was still having problems with it. Thankfully, it seems to be working well today!

Today is the 30th anniversary of the marriage of DH and I!!! Can you imagine – I’ve put up with him for thirty years!?! Of course, he’s had to put up with me for the same amount of time!

1003

Who is that skinny girl!?!

We don’t have any definite plans for a getaway, but we’ll be going out to dinner this evening. Maybe Friday we’ll hop in or on one of our vehicles and head out, but we’re going to wait to see about the weather.

Since we’re going out this evening, I guess I’m not going to make it to my quilt group meeting. AGAIN! I missed it last month for some silly reason and even though it’s not a silly reason this time, I’m still going to miss it. Bummer!

We’ve got a new member that I haven’t met yet and I was hoping to do that this month. I was also hoping to have my log cabin flimsy done today, so that I could take it to the meeting. Then I realized today was not going to work. I’ll HAVE to go to next month’s meeting no matter what!!!

021

It’s getting there but, obviously, it is not completely finished yet. This is almost one half of the quilt up on the design wall. The other half is all assembled. As soon as I get all these blocks finished and assembled, I’ll join the two halves. Maybe I’ll have it finished before the end of the week! I want to take it to a meeting to get some ideas for quilting it. There are so many seams in this thing; I am not sure how I should quilt it.

I’m still working VERY slowly on getting the studio cleaned up. It doesn’t help that I have so many projects that I’d rather sew. I don’t spend very much time cleaning and then I HAVE to start sewing on something!! But I am still keeping at it! One of the things that is so time consuming is getting my scraps under control. I try to spend a little time each day trimming them into usable sizes. I’m also thinking ahead and sorting out the strips that I will need for the Bonnie Hunter workshop in July. I decided on red as the main color for the “Blue Ridge Beauty” quilt that we will be working on. So any red and background scraps get cut down and set aside for that project.

Isn’t this going to be stunning in red!?!

Well, that’s about it for now. I need to take care of some things before DH comes home and we go out to celebrate.

Peace

Sorry, this post is going to be short. I’m working for the other boss today. And the internet is giving me fits this morning.

Gone crazy

Peace
