This is such a beautiful arrangement of colour choices.

Late again , this time because I had cramps. Since when does an 81 year old woman get cramps. Anyway I have been lying down in bed. But Ray called me to get up, it won't be long though I still feel badly. It seems to me things have not been going too well for me this past week. Yesterday was fine but I am back to feeling badly again.
So forgive me for being late tonight. 
Of course we did not go out today but I did do some quilting. The one piece of fabric I wanted  to use was too small but I did not want to  abut them so I added a strip to separate the two pieces. It looks good but that is all I got done . The ironing board had to be put away as the little ones are coming tomorrow to visit and I don't want them to trip on it. Ray put it away and  the iron too.
So it is safer for Rose and Charlotte. I am looking forward to seeing them and my girls as well.

So in the meantime when not sewing two long strips  I lay down and read my e reader. It is so easy and I have not been to the library since I got that reader. I think it is time to go though for some books that I can't get on the reader and get for free. That is the good thing about the library ,FREE.
I did manage to cook dinner though. We had chicken drumsticks browned, added to a casserole dish covered in mushroom soup and baked with rice. I think I didn't cook it long enough. The chicken was great but the rice was a bit crispy. I'll warm it up tomorrow night , that will cook it right LOL.

Hmm  does this apply to you, it does to many of us. Although I have bought so little this year that it does not apply to me. And I am using what I have for the most part. Once in a while I buy a small piece of fabric for something special. I do have to admit to a liking for Halloween fabrics though.

This is so sweet, I really like it. Don't know it that is what the dog thinks but it seems real. I want it to be real.

Anita's dogs, she is related to my sons through their dad's side of the family. The dogs are lovely.

A tiny owl in a tiny hat sitting in a hand. I wonder if it is a saw whet. They are so cute. I had a friend once who had a saw-whet so I have held one. It was a joy.

Don't you think this is a great idea for using your old sewing machine if you  want to use it for something other than sewing LOL.

Sweet Rose , can't wait to see her tomorrow.

And that is the end folks. I am still very tired.

Have a good evening.
