Been so busy lately...

I know it's no excuse, but an acre and a quarter in Springtime Oregon's Coast Range waits for nobody. . .  

Least of all an old lady who would rather be creating and playing. 

I've tried to be so disciplined lately I hardly know myself. 

Believe it or not I am very close to finishing up the five quilt repairs I've been working on FOREVER 

(Snoopy Dog Cheers!)   

Will also get to see Marie and her Mom (additional cheers) when she comes to pick them up.

Have several projects waiting in the wings - not the least of which will be learning more about my blog... 

Then I have wedding, graduation & baby gifts to complete plus some lap quilt orders.

Had to miss Kimmie's baby shower the other day - I managed to twist my knee was down for a couple of days, so have been resting it and worst case hobbling around for short periods of time trying to get some yard work finished while I can still see over the grass. Also found an allergen that is causing a rash on my arms, neck and face - sheesh . . . ya just have to keep plugging along

I've put some Master~Hoopers on eBay as an experiment and hopefully they will do well.

I love Etsy though - they make it so easy and inexpensive to do business.

We found Snickers a new home. A friend of ours from church lost his wife and then not long after his dog of many years. He stopped by and made the fateful remark . . . "If you ever want to get rid of that little dog..." 

They are both happy as little clams - Snickers doesn't have to deal with not being the 'Alpha' male  and he can relax because he doesn't have to bark at everyone on the bike path that runs in front of our house . . . All in all I think it's a match made in heaven and the energy level at our house has dropped by about 500%

Well I have a gazillion and one things to do today so.... better get going I will be back sooner than last time.

God bless your day!
