Well good afternoon my peeps! Don't faint, I actually have a quilt related post...lol.

I have to tell you a funny. I have a bed frame that raises your head and feet. Well, I was getting ready to go to sleep and watch Bobby Flay. The bed has lights under it. Apparently I hit a button on the remote I didn't know existed. Let me tell you that sucker has LED lights under it! It looked like a space ship about to take off! I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. It has little blue lights on the frame. They don't mash. So, I am under the bed looking for a switch with the cats. I looked on Google. It was talking about apps on your phone. I knew that was not my answer. So by this time I have on the ceiling light and my glasses. I turned the remote over and low and behold there is a button with a light on it!!!!! I guess I hit it when I was lowering my head. By this time it was 3:30 a.m. I was wide awake. What a night.

I finally finished a quilt today. Good thing it will be gifted Friday. I made the baby a quilt and one for her doll.

I think I have an eagle building a nest on my porch! Just kidding. Their nest is beautiful.

Good afternoon my peeps! We will be having a party Thursday. We will have a short program with our party. Also, it is time to renew our dues. They are still just $25.

Today is a bittersweet day for me. Today is my 49th Anniversary and my 5th one without Malcolm. I sure do miss him and especially today. I have also been out of high school 48 years today. We married when I was 16 and he was 21. I graduated from high school on my first wedding anniversary! Nobody ever thought we would make it. But...we tricked them.

Hope to see y'all Thursday! You know quilters are good cooks. Lol...

Good afternoon my peeps! I have missed y'all. I have been so sick. I had the flu for a week and that went into a severe sinus infection. This respiratory stuff has even gone through all four of my cats. Sneezing, runny eyes and fever. They have all been to the vet for shots.

I got this from a lady at Aldi. She was coughing in her arm. I even turned around and went down another aisle. I met her two aisles over and she looked at me and coughed on me!!! I looked at her like oh no! Three days later I had a sore throat, coughing, headache and body aches unreal. Anybody that knows me knows I am a super germaphobe. I was even before Covid, but especially since Covid. I don't understand people who don't stay home when they are sick! She has cost me hundreds of dollars in my care and my cats care.

Anyway, I am feeling better finally. Yesterday is the first day that I have cross stitched in about 10 days. So I know I am on the mend. One good thing, I was so nauseated I couldn't eat and I have lost 10 pounds. Going to try and keep that going.

Stay well. Happy stitching!

Good morning my peeps! You know this has been a different week for sure. Normally I would be going through all my sacks of stuff that I bought at Paducah. We didn't even go this year! First time in over 20 years at least that we didn't go. Except when they didn't have it on count of Covid. But...it's not like I don't have enough fabric to out last my lifetime. I did order some stuff to make some project bags for cross stitching. I just enjoy my cross stitching so much.

I need to get up and clean house. Especially now that Bessie Jane has been in the cat toy basket pulling out her favorite toys.

You know I am so thankful for many things,but especially thankful for my friends that stand beside me and not behind me. There is a huge difference.

Enjoy your weekend. We need the rain that is coming. Happy stitching whichever way you decide to do it.

Good afternoon my peeps! Today is a cooking day at my house. I have made chicken stew and Chocolate Cobbler. It's so good. Great by itself or with vanilla ice cream. I refrigerate and heat a bowl all the time. Still really good. But...how can chocolate be bad? I don't understand people who don't like chocolate or cats...lol. Chased a squirrel there.

I just pour a little oil in my pan to grease it, instead of adding it in the batter. Works great. Thanks Janice! One of my favorite recipes.

Happy stitching!
