Wow the quilt is fantastic and GB is so talented... and Cooper looks pretty good too. I like that pix of him....

 

 

Here's  more of that quilt.  I started it 4 years ago, and have just been plodding along until I could figure out what size I wanted to make it.  It will have a border pieced from 2" squares in the mixed prints, and white (like a checkerboard) and strips of dark teal on each side of that strip.  It'll end up 88" x 88".  I like it even more than I thought I would!  I'll probably make another one or two, eventually, in different types of colors.

 

 

Oh I SO wish I had talent like that! I have a quilt top that one of my grandmothers made befor she passed away, and I've always wanted it finished, but haven't a clue on how to do it. I can tell you how to do many things, but sewing is not in the list!  

 

 

Crystal, your bad weather looks so different from my bad weather. Here is a sample of our clouds during bad weather.  They turn to a solid black mass. That is when it's scary.

I think that Oklahoma has ominous looking clouds especially if they are black and dark green....

Gosh I cut myself off and I had more to say...

 

I finally ordered enough bowls of the stainless steel as they were on sale on the Dr's web site so now I can get rid of the hard gray plastic locking crocks that mine destroyed the lock when they destroyed the arm that held the lock...

 

I went overboard, but I'll have enough to keep up with not washing bowls twice a day...my dishwasher as is has to hold 32 bowls, well Magnolia has large ceramic crocks so those four take up a lot of space...

 

Yeah.... out with the old, in with the new

I have found that the Corning cereal bowls I use for Diana are easier to clean than Murphy's stainless bowls. I drop Diana's into a tiny bit larger bird crock that came with the cage. The Corning sits just higher than the rim of the crock. The crock is a little too deep for her to get the soft food easily. Then when I remove the Corning bowl I can put her Nutriberry and almonds in the crock. She can grasp those easily.

Very nice Crystal so we know where the kid gets his talent!

 

Winds have been gusty all day long and from what the TV says we have between 8 and 10 thousand New Orlean'ns here at the Civic Centre...

 

I had to take the hanging toys down in the flight, move the plants to the north side and all the lawn furniture tied down..

 

What I have noticed today as have the neighbours...

 

THERE ARE NO BIRDS AROUND!! Haven't been all afternoon although the squirrels were out this evening eating the left overs from my flock....

I just have to say it....WOW Etta, that's a bunch of CROCK! 

 

We're keeping our fingers crossed and saying some prayers that you only get the good rain from the storms....nutt'n else. 

 

I love those pictures of storms.  I just love storms...and the fresh clean look and feel afterwards. 

 

So.....THAT's what smarty pants has been up too......he's a big ole star now! 

See what you did.....I clicked myself off too early too! 

What a beautiful quilt!  I know exactly the size you need.....MY BED size!  lol  I couldn't.....just couldn't let my Ruby on something like that.....there'd be new places for patches to be placed.  The girl likes windows....what can I say.
