What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a minute to waste yesterday if I was to get everything done. After writing my post, I headed straight to my slow-stitching. (Priorities, people.) And then I went outside to check on things there. My first stop was the greenhouse. With so many seedlings in pots, I'm checking the water daily. There, I was happy to discover sprouts in two of the three zinnia pots.

 It was a good quilting day yesterday. Of course, I didn't get to the quilting right away. First, I finished stitching the first Santa from the Santa Quartet. With him finished, I moved my hoop to the right.

The fourth of five rhododendrons is starting to bloom. We have another dark purple one that is still in tight buds.

Good morning, my friends. It was good to have a relatively "normal" day here yesterday. There was no going anywhere. We had leftovers for dinner, so there was mostly no cooking. Of course, I checked in on the seedlings in the greenhouse, but the day was mostly reserved for sewing. I'll have to get a little busier today. The bird feeders are all empty. I'll have to check in on the seedlings every day now. Oh...and the peonies are just about to burst open. I've noticed color on the Lavender Whisper peony...it's the one ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We have three birthdays in a single week, followed by Mother's Day. With PT in the mix, it has me feeling as if I've been on the run. (No wonder I got a speeding ticket.) Mainly, I'm just doing things not a part of my usual routine. Next week, Mike will have a cataract surgery on Wednesday, and so I have just a few days to enjoy a relatively normal schedule.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. I managed to get everything done that I wanted to before I needed to leave for physical therapy. I left around 2:00 p.m. for the 35 minute drive west, and I had plenty of time to make my 2:40 p.m. appointment. Still, I'm kind of a speed demon when I get behind the wheel. I'm not driving fast intentionally, but I rarely know what the speed limit is. I'm just driving at what seems like a reasonable speed. Apparently the county sheriff disagreed ...

Good morning, my friends. Thanks to the many of you who stopped by to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had to make a short grocery shopping trip, and it was “senior discount day” at our store. One must be at least 50 to qualify. I told the young man at the checkout stand that we were seniors, and that I supposed he might be surprised by that, given our youthful appearances. When Mike told him it was my birthday, he said, “Oh, today must be the first time you’ve qualified ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm just home from a nice breakfast with Sue. Aside from that, not much has happened this morning. There hasn't even been time for slow-stitching. As I write, I'm waiting for Mike to drink a cup of coffee, and then we'll head off to the grocery store. We're eating dinner out tonight, but the afternoon will be my own. No plans except doing whatever I want to do.

So let's back up to yesterday, shall we? It was a luxuriously slow day. Not having to sandwich any more quilts put ...

Good morning, my friends. Our chat will have to be quick this morning. We're donning our suits of armor in an effort to get Sadie to the vet this morning. She needs her immunizations. It's hard to believe, I know, but this little kitty turns into a bearcat when she's being forced to do something she doesn't want to do.

Good morning, my friends. Our weather has returned to Portland gloom today. We're expecting sun breaks off and on through the week, but rain most every day. I haven't checked the forecast to see when the sunshine will return, but it won't be for several days. 

My first stop yesterday was to stitch Tiny Treasure #46. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, and fly stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Before I say another word, please join me in wishing this handsome hunka mancat a very happy 14th birthday.

My, oh my. How time flies. It seems only yesterday we brought home this little squirt.
