UPDATE

Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick, chick..

Here is my version of the cute bird quilt

I made the "stuffed birds" out of my scrapes 

of felted wool sweaters.

The Perfect Loaf

...at least that's what the recipe says...

I followed the long fermenting process

the long baking process and here is what 

my perfect loaf turned out like..

Beautiful- Crusty- Delicious 

 

I made another batch.

The Respite

Sometimes one needs to remove themselves from isolation.

Margie flew to Utah with the swede and spent 10 days 

1. eating three meals a day(plus a lot of snacking)

2. sewing a velvet skirt for a great granddaughter

3. shopping

4. exercising

5. visiting grandchildren and family

6. dinner engagements with 

stimulating conversation

7. reading "the Ultimate Gift" 

by Jim Stovall

(I highly recommend reading this book)

Margie had this idea(she called it a dream) that she 

should buy herself and her

  daughters and daughters-in-law a leather coat..

so off we went to Burlington coat

 factory where we were told had the

 best selection of leather 

and suede coats. 

here she is, in her new luxurious black leather.

she was like a kid for days, wearing this coat night and day 

and taking it off only at bedtime.

...we had a nice visit and I know Margie did too!

Blogger Block

I have lost it..I have blogger block. 

Has this happened to you?

Is there a remedy?

I found this and yes, it did me good!

Surprise Billboard

A funny thing happened on the way home

 from the airport...

A strange almost ethereal thing happened on the way home 

from the airport..

I looked out the window of my car and saw this beautiful woman 

whose face was smiling down at me, as I was 

driving 65 miles an hour.

I could not look back 

because I had passed the billboard, so I got off

 at the next exit of the freeway and turned around and 

found the feeder road that lead me back to the massive sign. 

There she was...

My daughter, 

Ariel

Ariel had posed for some STOCK photos for RubberBall 

and they sold them to Fibernet.com

How Cool is That?

F R I D A Y the 1 3 th

Ok, I need some clarification on this scary day..

Now I feel better...

W A I T.......

 I need to get some advice on 

"how to lift the curse"..

BEST OF LUCK TODAY

Distraction

I have been bad...

I mean I have been so distracted by the various forms of "Social Networking" 

 I spend too much time on: 

1. Email

2.Facebook

3.Cell Phone

4.Texting

5. Classmates.com

6. Blogging

7. Monster. com

8. Career Builders.com(still job searching)

This is what happened!!

It was the smelliest thing! 

Those poor yolks!

Sorry, I will try to be more attentive!

Good Monday Morning

I became obsessed with this quilt in the BHG Mag this month and had to go quickly to the Cotton Shop to buy my stash to make this quilt.

I am going to hand applique the birds but will take

 it to a machine quilter to finish it.

 Here is the fabric I selected... I will post my version of the quilt when I finish.

Don't you just love it..

To Grey or NOT too...

One morning as I looked at my home page Yahoo, here was this main article 

Funny but I have had some thoughts on this subject. "To Grey or Not to Grey?" 

Here is another article and here.

I really like this picture because its two people who know who they are and love it! 

I'm going Grey.. and I'm OK with it!

You can look now..

Surprise..

to my unborn granddaughter

Duran

With love,

Grandma
