Heather got a car!!!!

We went out Monday after she got home from Orchestra rehearsal.  She had been looking online and found this at the local Mazda dealership.  We went and she test drove it and said this feels like "my car"!

New kitchen faucet...

Very late Sunday afternoon, Jim (DH) decided to tear out the old faucet that had issues and install the new one...hmmm...only had the new one since the beginnig of Oct...gotta love husbands!  LOL  Now mind you he starts on this project, it is Sunday so everything closes at 8 PM, he makes a couple trips to Lowe's for some additional items and finally gets this installed only to discover at 7:35 that it is broke and doesn't work!!!  ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH and he was leaving on a business trip Monday!  Yikes all I can see is a few days with no water..UGH...so Heather and I run off to Home Depot and get another one and some ring thing gaskets of some sort and come back and he finishes putting it in and it works.  No leaks!  Yea!!  So Monday morning I get up and turn on the faucet and nothing happens.  I mean NOTHING!  No water, no noise NOTHING and Jim is at the airport!  I do everything I can think of to get the water to come on, NOPE NOT happening!  So I walk away and hear water running and go on the search for where that is and discover that the hose outside is split and spewing water all over the place, get that shut off, however still no water in the kitchen sink.  I finally figured it out and got it working. 

Design Wall Monday....

I actually have something on my desing wall today.  I know surprise!  LOL  The blocks were from an online squishie swap I did a number of years ago.  You sent out a piece of your fabric to those that were participating, told them size block to make and they put some of their fabric with it and made you a block and sent back to you.  It was alot of fun and I have a ton of blocks from the 3? years I participated.  I got it into a top and will be marking it so I can start quilting it. 

Week 43 Stash Report

I really had to go back and hunt for this!  I still don't have all my fabric added in that I bought while away this summer.  But I have now added in the yardage I purchased in Paducah.  So for now it isn't too bad...but next week it will not be good!  It feels really good to be back sewing again...now if this house cleaning thing would quit interrupting me I could really make some progress. LOL 

So here goes the report:

Fabric added this week 0 yards
Total fabric added this year 56 3/8  yards

Fabric used this week 1 7/8 yards
Total fabric used this year 39 7/8 yards

Total fabric busted this year -16.5 yards

Someone was watching me sew....

Yesterday afternoon I was working on my Thanksgiving quilt top and looked out the window and there was this little guy looking in...

And then he was standing up begging so to speak!  LOL

And then he thought he had better leave and quickly!
