Why It Is Quiet Here

Sorry this blog has been quiet the last few days. Here is a run-down with some commercial breaks interspersed to keep you entertained!

The best family news is that I have a new great-niece! Lucy Ella was born on Friday and is welcomed home by my oldest nephew & his wife and 2 big brothers.

I had some bug on Wednesday evening and Thursday so lost many a precious hour of sewing to resting on the couch.

I recovered enough by Friday to pack for Saturday’s quilt class. Not necessarily a class to fill our minds with new information, but a gathering! Most were ladies I know from quilt guild, we worked on a new pattern using our scraps and had fun together! Class was 12 noon – 4 p.m.

I was barely home in time to leave for church but wanted to make sure my machine was home and inside, not riding in the frigid temperatures in the car.

After church last night, our small group went bowling. As my fingers have been sore for a few weeks anyway and then I received a not so gentle grab of my arm after church, I decided not to bowl. We are not the sports house, so no one did great from our house! JP & K went along and had fun.

Oh, to have this view and warmth right now…. August 2007:

Our internet connection has been sluggish at best all last week. After many calls to tech support for our provider, they decided our router is shot so a new one is coming on Monday. We have NO idea why it is working now for a bit but the new one is still coming!

K snapped this picture in March 2007 while home on spring break:

I am struggling today with a bout of stomach something….. was awakened last night for a few hours and it is less but still here today.

I did manage to squeeze in a few bits of sewing anyway. I’ve finished my 2 triangles and 7 of the 8 DJ blocks for this month. The last block is prepared and basted for hand applique. It is just that when sitting…. I’m usually sitting at the computer!
