bits and pieces

You'll have to bend your head to view this wonderful piece which was made by Ione . It is her Elf Countdown Calendar with 24 pockets and is like an advent calendar.It refuses to stand upright on my page though LOL. Ione took a class for this at the Satin Moon quilt shop in Victoria . Isn't he wonderful?

Clinic day today . Ray stayed in the car to clean it , not that his car is ever dirty LOL. I think he has had it with watching the nurse change my dressings LOL.It has been a week now since I have been off the antibiotic, I go to the specialist tomorrow morning. My sons are calling to see how I have fared this week. So far all is well!!

Have you noticed that the prices for everything has skyrocketed. Malwart used to be a hundred dollar trip , now it is 150 dollars.  I know that we did buy a bit of extra but so......Oh well I did say I wanted to be broke when I died Haha. At this rate I will be! Mr. Sam will own me.Haha.

We always go to Wendy's for lunch after shopping at WM as it is close by. I usually get the baked potato but this time ordered the spicy chicken for a change.  It was okay.

Rick's dog Remy ,it is very hot out there in Abbotsford so poor Remy is sleeping it off.
Marg came over this afternoon to give me a book by Gregg Olsen. Close Than Blood is the title but I have to finish The Sins of the Borgias. It is a hard read and in the first person which  I am not particularly fond of.

I saw a really neat video today of a technique to do a Lasagna quilt.
It was on a site that you can get to by  clicking on this,

Be sure and look around at the other videos in this site. Remember the napkin tutorial that I put on this blog a log time ago, it is on one of the videos listed. Anyway It is all fun.
I found the On the Job photo that I have been looking for for days. Here he is.

What a great dog, he goes to work every day. His owner said he has 40 pictures taken every week.

Ione says she hopes to take a photo of a dog on her travels so I can put it up on the blog. I say great, I shouldn't have to do all the work LOL.

I'm just about done for the day, wish me luck at the urologist tomorrow. So far so good.

Have a beautiful evening if you are out and about , the same if you are in.

Noswaith dda.
