whew I'm wiped

What a busy day-Ray went to pick up the new computer desk and to meet up with Bob and Buzz , I stayed home to do some cutting and sewing. I got the top finished  for Community quilts and found some batting and backing for it. I'll put it in a plastic baggie and take it to them. They'll put it all together, I have no room here for sandwiching so it goes to Community Quilts. I always take my quilts out to get sandwiched at the church or to Lauren for quilting. Some I quilt myself and others she does for me.
I was just finishing off the borders when Ray , Bob and Buzz came in. Buzz was pushing the dolly and the two guys were following her haha. Ray says she wanted to do it, good girl Buzz LOL.
They stayed for a while and we talked about going across the border on Monday for lunch at our favourite casino in Washington  state. Well we'll gamble some haha.
They had to go around 12:45 because I had an appointment with the doctor to get a requisition for another test  to make sure that my infection is definitely gone and to check my kidneys to see if they are functioning properly.
We picked up the mail when we got back home and there was a parcel for me from Sue in MN. Inside the envelope was a lovely lap quilt to keep me nice and warm while I recuperate. I was so thrilled  at her kindness and thoughtfulness.

Sue told me that Deanna, both she and Sue are on my Flylady list, had made the top and sent it to Sue to quilt , many thanks to both of these fine ladies. When I opened the package the lovely colours immediately calmed me. Funny isn't it? It made my day.
Then I had to empty out the drawers of the desk in the bedroom where the comouter desk will go. Ray has decided to take the old desk upstairs and use if when he makes his model ships. Good idea.
That meant I needed to find a place for the fabrics in the top drawer. We cleaned out the long drawer and threw lots of stuff away. Oh doesn't it hurt to clean house :)) This has been the busyiest day since I came home. So that's why I am weary tonight.
You know how much I like mug rugs even though I have only made one but have plans for more . This site will give you tons of ideas if mug rugs interest you.
Happy perusing, I had fun going through these. Click on the picture and it will come up showing you the path to get more information on how to make the one you chose.
I like the red one of the snowman and red stripes.
There isn't he cute!
Time to sign off. Have a great evening under you lap quilt. I'm going to LOL.
Banji mashite.
