Chit Chat

It has been a full week already. Sweetheart has been so sick with a terrible cold, and I also caught it, though mine is not near as bad. Still, my baskets are progressing much slower than I wanted. Tomorrow I will have a full row done to show you all. I have one more block to do and I will complete that tonight or early tomorrow. The fabrics are cut and prepped.I miscalculated and only need to make 9 of these blocks instead of 12 which brings the total number of pieces in the quilt from 1426, down to 1162. Sounds better, eh? I needed some more fabrics, so I grabbed several fat quarters at my LQS.I am building quite a stash of pastels. I can not wait to make my next quilt....it will be all earth tones, and DEEP ones!

I wanted to share a couple of pics from our monthly Titus 2 Tea held last Saturday. Look at these wonderful Titus 2 women....Alice, Mary, and Esther.We learned about having Biblical Character and also how to mentor a younger woman. It was strange teaching this class with these wonderfully wise women in it, but they shared their hearts and I learned more than I taught! We also made a flower arrangement. Another craft I am not the greatest at!! Rachel was really good at it and Esther was a pro! Here is Marg (standing) and Ronda (the jewelry pro) making her arrangement.
Though jewelry making (last months craft) and flower arranging are not my forte, I did finish this cute little mini quilt. It made it to it's new home with Alesha and she was quite happy with it. I was glad it arrived on her Anniversary! Happy Anniversary, Alesha and Doug!
During my Bible time this morning, I noticed something was not right when I opened my Bible....It was not laying right. Here is the reason....The binding is coming off. :( I applied some wood glue (paper is wood, right?) and it seems to have taken hold very well. I will need to be more careful. This is my only copy of a KJV Bible, which is my preferred reading. I got it back in 86 and have loved it much. Makes a person sound old to say "back in the day"!Here is my little bruiser....Sweetheart has called him "bandaide head" all day. He deserves it though! His boo-boo was the result of a lighter and a stick. Yep. BIG TROUBLE for mister Zachary.Charlotte was not much better....at the church softball game last night, I found her 20 feet up into a tree!!! Yes, she (who is terrified of heights) did. I was FREAKING out! She has NO gross motor skills and was up that tree! Why? There was a boy 25 ft. up there...you figure it out. I think I have 5 more grey hairs just in the last couple of days!
Sweetheart kept busy in spite of his horrid cold. He did play a double header last night (we won both games) so he must have been feeling better. He re-painted and fixed up a lawn ornament belonging to his mom. It turned out beautiful. I love that black water pump. She will be happy with it.My garden is really taking off! I have tons of little green tomatoes!!! At least a half dozen or so little bell peppers....And look at this.....It is heaven bound!! Sweetheart even staked it a while back. It is growing like a WEED! BECAUSE IT IS A WEED! LOL!!!! I have been waiting for him to ask what it is. Finally he did. When I told him it was a weed, he did not believe me. My neighbor and I have been chuckling over this. He was certain it was something important! How many of you stake your weeds??? That's what I thought!
Well thanks for listening to me chit chat! I better get those little baskets whipped up!
