Here you go Kare, pictures of what I have been doing. I have been making little stars out of the coffee fabric that Sue and Jane gave us at the retreat. When the stars are done I will sew them into 2 little quilts. The stars are only 3 . The quilt will be about 12" when finished. I got my little bowties quilted and bound. I had fun with these. I would like to make a bedsize quilt with these but it would take forever as they are only 2" apiece. The blue quilt is 10"x10" and the rust one is 14"x12". I was working on things to sell at an outdoor craft show in July that I do with my friend Pat but I can't do it this year because I will have the family quilters here that day. We did that show last year and I did really well at it. I only sold a couple of things but they were some of my bigger things so I made money at it.

I made Zoey a blanket out of flannel that is covering her and grandpa on the couch. It has a different print on the other side. Sammy kitty is cuddling with them. Right now Kimmy is on the puter table to help me do my blog. She thinks that she is Queen of the house. NOT!


This was a busy week for me. On Tues. I took Butch for his eye exam. He has been complaining that he was having trouble seeing out of his right eye. Well he really was.He has Macular Degeneration. Really bad. On Wed. I had to take him to Toledo to the eye clinic. He had to be there at 9:15. They did more test on his eye and then he had to get a shot in his eye. He has to go back every 6 weeks for another one. They don't know if he will get all of his sight back but they can keep it from getting worse. We didn't get home till 4:30 that afternoon.
On Thurs. I went with Mom to Columbus to take her dog to Medvet. He has cancer and will start treatment next Tues.
On Fri. Butch woke me up because his kidney stone was on the move. He has had them for a while but they haven't moved for a long time. I was going to take him to his Dr. in Toledo but he didn't think he could ride that far so I took him to the ER here in town. They did test and said that yes it was his stone and gave him something for the pain said that it is small enough for him to pass it on his own and then would not let him go untill he peed for them. That was at 4:00. At 6:00 he told the that they could cath him so we could leave. Finnialy at 7:30 we got to go home after a stop at Wal-mart for a script for him. That is why we have trouble on vacations in the car, he never has to take a potty break and I have to alot.
The kids are out of school now Friday was the last day for them. Nick gets to go to third and Korey goes to first. Gabby gets to go to kindergarden next year.
Being laid off has got me all messed up. I can't remember what day it is or even what month it is as you could tell from 2 posts ago. I have that all fixed now and I hope this post is right. With me you never know.
