Good
Morning!, and a belated Happy Mother's Day
to all you Moms out there!

Let's start right
out with the NEW
BLOCK!!
that came in this week! Ellen's
Star is here (Gayle)--the next in the series of Arizona
Hostess stars! This one is also available as a 9" and a
12" star! Thank you, testers, for doing these wonderful test
block's for the site! All the blocks for this series and the extras
to go with them are done and at the testers now so you should be
seeing them all relatively soon, as the tests are complete!
It's been a
rather uneventful week here. We made two more trips to camp, and
finally have the raking-up done. Now it is looking very spiffy down
there indeed! The lake is high from all the rain, but not
overflowing. There are NO other camps occupied in our cove yet, so
it is still and SO peaceful! I got the windows opened up so that the
place is airing out; now we are pretty much set to move in at our
leisure! In the meantime though...BLACK FLY season is on with a
vengeance down there.....ugh...
After getting
home from camp we transplanted my Mom's (app 70 year old!) Christmas
Cactus into a better pot. This is one of those projects I put off to
the very end...that plant is HEAVY! It's been in a painted round
Mexican clay pot for probably 20 years, but the pot finally was
disintegrating, and the poor plant was in dire need of a new home!
Here's hoping it survives the move! (The poor dear has been through
tough times already-Sam chewed it down to stubs when she was a
pup...it grew back)
Now that the star
series is done, I think it's time to get back to some quilting! {One
poodley part of having Lyme is that I have been having great
difficulty concentrating on more than one thing at a time...odd and
unpleasant sensation for us women who are so used to always
multi-tasking!} I look forward to getting back to the quilt now! The
poor thing has probably been terribly lonely hanging there in pieces
on the design wall for the past several weeks!
Still no news on
the job front. Things are rather trying at this point. :o( All
part of life I guess...just not the good part! The trick, is to Keep
the Faith, that things WILL get better! All prayers are welcome! :o)
Time to get
busy! Have a Great week everyone!
Have A great Quilting Week Everyone!
