A mixed bag

I can’t believe it has been so long since I posted. I work a lot and don’t have a whole lot of time but I do find time to read blogs. This post has a mixed bag of stuff in  it.

Here is some pix of flowers in my yard.

     

Now for some quilting pix. This quilt has been on my machine for way to long and probably will be on a lot longer.

       

Now aren’t these pretty?

 

I got the recipe off Judy L’s blog. I made three of them last Saturday cause it is what my nephew from Alabama wanted and I just got through making 3 more cause we are having a cookout tomorrow and the same nephew will be there.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

My first meme

My friend Becca has tagged me for a meme. I hope you don’t find me too boring.

The Premio MEME Blog AwardRules:

1. list 7 personality traits

2. tag/award 7 blogs that deserve such fine recognition for the personalities that they share with the blogging world. Here goes:

1. I love flowers but I don’t have a green thumb. Seriously. The pix I show are flowers that were here when I moved here 11 years ago and just do therir own thing. Now I do prune and fertilize if necessary.

2. My spending money goes for fabric, I bet that was a shock, and books. I love to read but really have very little time.

3. I can be kind of obsessive-compulsive. Enough said. Read fabric and books.

4. I am a glass half full person. Always have been.

5. I am a outdoor girl. I love being outside.

6. I am an animal lover. I detest anyone that abuses an animal for any reason.

7. I am a loyal friend and I consider all my online friends, true friends.

Thanks Becca, I had fun doing this.

I can’t pick just 7 friends to send this too, so if you are reading this and want to do a meme, consider yourself tagged. We would love to read about you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers Day.

Azaleas and Clematis

We have had a lot of rain and some cool weather here. not as wet nor as cool as some of you. I thought I would post a couple more pix of some flowers around our house.

This is the first pic I took of my double bloom pink azalea on April 30th. Don’t it look pretty?

This is the one I took today after more of the blooms have opened. It is really pretty now.

The next is a purple Clematis. It don’t really bloom all that long but it is pretty while it does.

Well that is it for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Spring Fling and some Bling

 

Well maybe I exagerated about the fling but just wanted to share some spring pix of plants around my house.

First is the dogwood outside my studio window. We have several dogwoods but this one is my favorite.

Next is my purple azalea. I love this color.

I think you see it every year but here it is again.

Here is the red azalea. I think the ice storm got to it some. It needs some serious pruning.

Now for the bling part of my post, check out my new Crocs. I love Croc shoes but I wish I wouldn’t get so many emails showing all the new styles and colors. Shoes are one of my weaknesses along with fabric and books and no telling what else.

Aren’t they cute?

Well I guess that is about it. Lynn and I are going to Mountain View, Ar this Thursday so I can take a beginning medical terminology class at a community college there. We have some friends there we will visit with too. I’m looking forward to that. I will be back Saturday for work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend.

Happy Easter Everyone

Hope all of you are having a wonderful Easter.

Here is Jazzy in her new Easter dress.

Isn’t she cute? Have a wonderful day.

Time sure flies

I just saw that it has been over a month since I last posted. It seems all I do is work, either here or at the clinic. I think I will slow down some cause I haven’t been able to quilt much. WAAAHHH!!!!!! I also have too many projects going. Why don’t I just finish what I am working on before wanting to do something else?  Because I am scatterbrained I guess.

Here is some pix of some things I have been messing around with, not any of them that is finished.

This is a pix of a free quilt pattern from the Robert Kaufman website called Silent Beauty. I want to finish this one for my SIL whose DH died last year. She will love it.

I made blocks for Karen and loved how fast they made up so I had to make a few to see how they looked. I’m kinda thinking about these for a new quilt for our bed.

A couple days ago Suzanne show a quilt she had made over the weekend. Of course I had to order the pattern. It is Slideshow by Atkinson designs. I see this made from gorgeous Batiks. Wouldn’t that be gorgeous?

Well, I need to get ready to go to work and I hope to not wait so long before posting again. I sure hope everyone has a great week whatever you are doing.

Poor Little Boy

My niece sent me a picture of Chad’s arm. He pulled a skillet of grease off the stove last Tuesday and burned his arm, chest, stomach, leg and the tops of his feet. The arm has the worst burn on it. Thank Goodness he wasn’t burned worse than he was.. I hope the pix don’t offend anyone.

Happy Valentine’s Day

I hope all of my friends have a wonderful Valentine’s day. I have to work this afternoon but I am enjoying it this morning. I just wanted to show you a few pix of Jazzy in her new outfit.

         

She is in her favorite spot, the back of the couch looking out the window. Pardon the nose prints on the glass, they are a permanent decoration at our house.

Needless to say she is our pride and joy and spoiled rotten.

Have a great day.

Pix of the ice storm

I promised some pix of the ice storm and here they are. I do hope you can click on them and enlarge them.

  

The above pix show the tree that is on our house. Yep it is still there because no one has had time to come and tell us how much it will cost to get it off. You know it don’t really matter cause it has to come off the house. Someone is supposed to be here tomorrow.

           

The first two from the left were taken looking out my front door. The one on the far right is the dogwood tree in front of my studio. Every limb is laying on the ground. All the ice melted off it Saturday and today all the limbs are back to normal. I am so happy as I love to watch that tree change through the seasons.

      

The last two were taken looking out my back door. See those two heavy power lines? Right after I took the picture they pulled two poles down and were on the ground. They didn’t take our power out though cause it was all ready off!!!

I hope you enjoyed the tour and I am so happy to be back online and have lights, telephone, tv, etc, but you get the idea.

I hope all of you have a great week.

I’m baaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!

We lost our power last Tuesday and it just came on about 30 minutes ago. I am so happy. We have some damage from a tree falling on our house but it isn’t major damage and I am so happy. I will post pix later but now I have to go read blogs!!!!!!!
