Down to One UFO and Two Siggies



I finally finished my Sunbonnet Sue wallhanging, and Joe gratiously held it up while I took the picture. Later today, Joe will drill the wall and hang it up in its rightful place in our bedroom over the television. I do love Sunbonnet Sue and these blocks are so cute and were such fun to hand applique! I am down to only one UFO to complete, that is till I start another project.LOL

Also,two wonderful quilters from the Netherlands named Mieke and Dorine, who sent me some beautiful siggy blocks. I am really slowly but surely building up my siggy collection. It has been a great experience for me!

Is it just me, or are the weeks just flying by at a ridiculously fast rate? The weekend is upon us already, and I just can't believe it! We had a terrible week with the weather, as there were lots of storms and high winds. I also fell again...this time trying to avoid stepping on one of our dogs Charlie, as he decided to stand right behind me in the kitchen while I was working at the counter. Well, in a split second, I decided that stepping on him was not an option, so I took the fall and pop went my ligament. I am feeling better, as Joe insisted that I stay at home and rest. Today is a sunny day, so that put a smile on my face. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Oh dear Micki - do take care of yourself, it sounds painful. I'm sure they think that they are just being friendly when they do that. I have a cat that creeps up on me quite silently. Maggi

I love your Sunbonnet Sue.

Ouch!! I hope you are resting well and feeling better. Even if you are not physically injured, a fall can give you a fright!

We had a huge storm here too. Lots of lovely rain!

Enjoy the sunshine! :)

Cute Sunbonnet Sues.
I also have a dog that is always getting tangled up in my feet. He sticks so close to me, when he's walking behind me he runs into the back of my legs. Very irritating. Now I know how my mom felt when, as a kid, I'd bump into her with the grocery cart in the store.

I need a good man like Joe! Does he have any single brothers?
