nothing doing

Or doing nothing which is what I did today. For those of you who know us you may find it hard to believe that Ray and have not been out for two days. So doing nothing is what I have been doing. Sitting in my chair waiting for service LOL. That is Ray making sure I have lunch and dinner.
So I waited for breakfast, read my paper, checked out my e mail, watched Perry Mason, had a shower and changed my appliance. Then back to the chair for more TV watching after which I had a long nap to recover from all that sitting and service. Oh and Richard called from Golden high up on the mountains on the way to Calgary. That was my day of doing nothing. Dinner is over and the dishes are washing themselves in the dishwasher and we are watching the news waiting to see what will happen to the USA's fiscal cliff. Not that I really understand what that will mean except higher  taxes.
Still doing nothing but writing this blog but tomorrow we will go back to our regular routine and go out....
Oh and by the way I did get dressed for my day of doing nothing.

Thank you to Michelle from Oklahoma for her lovely comment on last night's blog. Sometimes my efforts in sending out things for you all to do does not quite work out, thanks for letting me know about the Kaye Wood folded hexagon and by all means send me a picture of your new one.
And one comment from my dear friend Anonymous in Delaware. Thank you dear friend .  Lots of snow there?

We had a few flakes of snow here today LOL. Nothing like in Quebec where there are centimeters of snow there , more like meters as far as I could see.

See here for snow....

Outside Jack's living room window. Lots of snow there.

And this is outside the kitchen window. Get the idea? Snow!!

 

So enough of my nothing drivel and on to other things.

Anvil is the name of this block ,two sizes of half square triangles and four squares.

 

 

Friends forever and these two little kittens are just adorable. When we were in Quebec Yohan had his kitten with him at Lynn and Daniel's. It is a Devon Rex an interesting type of cat born without the outer layer of fur so it has just the undercoat of fur which is so soft and doesn't cause the often usual allergy symptoms that people get from cats. I really loved that little cat, it was wonderful However it preferred Ray and spent the evening on his lap.

 


Hmm I should have paid more attention to things.

 

 

 

Lynn made this wall hanging with her friend's assistance and it is lovely. She did beautiful work and I didn't even know she was a quilter. I just loved this pattern/design.

 

 

She also made both of the stockings. Good girl!

 

Here is Lynn's dog whom she calls Cashoo. He also loved Ray and sat by him all one evening. He is a sweet little dog. He goes out in the cold and snow to do his business , never complains. Good puppy.

 

Look at all these friends, isn't it a lovely picture. If we could all be so good to each other all the time. I guess these guys aren't perfect all the time either.

 

This one came off  Craftsy I think but the colours attracted  me. They are not the usual colours I would choose but there it is. I like the way the tree limbs are chosen and placed.Well actually the one on the fourth row , second block should be down on the eighth row , same place. Just my opinion but I am never afraid to express my opinion. That does it.

 

I haven't done any sewing or embroidery since we got back home but I am thinking about it.  I forgive myself as it was not possible to do anything in Quebec , well I could have done some applique. Did not happen. I am going to prepare some applique for my Tuesday group soon. I was thinking about it while resting in my bed after waking up from my nap. Get with it NAN!!!!

Happy to be back with you all and I wish you a Wonderful and Happy New Year in 2013. My thanks to you all for being my readers and friends. You are a great lot!
