Earlier today I told someone that I was going to watch the ball drop in Time Square and then I was going to bed even though it would not be 2012 in Louisiana. I was sitting here at the computer this evening and realized that I could not watch the ball drop for I do [...]
Today when I collected my mail there was a Christmas card from Mignon, my dear friend who now lives in Alabama. The card was a photo of the entire family taken when they were on vacation in Florida. I think it is one of the neatest family photos that I have ever seen. And for [...]
The five quilts were completely finished in record time. I started rolling them and typing with ribbon and attaching the name tag. I quickly realized that putting several rolled quilts into a large bag would more than likely damage the name tags and possibly tear them off. So I stopped with three rolled and just [...]
Because I was still awake at six this morning I did not get up until almost noon. Did my Bible study and then took off for Monroe to go to Target to get an electric blanket. Bought the blanket on sale for thirty dollars, which certainly beats the ninety-nine dollar price at Walmart. Went to [...]
Did not get up until noon for it was after six in the morning before I finally got to sleep. Seems that sleeping from six in the morning until noon is becoming normal for me. Getting up that late makes for a short day. Had to make a grocery run to Walmart that took up [...]
In the mail today I received my check for working as a voting commissioner two weeks ago. Took a little over a month to get the one for working in October. I really do not like paying to have a check cashed but paying Walmart three dollars was less expensive than the gas would have [...]
I can’t believe that I actually completed FOUR quilts today. Last night I pressed the fabric and cut the batting so that the quilts would be ready and waiting for me to sit down at the sewing machine and start quilting. I slept late and by the time I was ready to quilt it was [...]
Went to bed at nine thirty and was still awake at eleven thirty. Got up and had a bowl of popcorn for I have heard that popcorn makes one sleepy. Certainly hope that is correct. I cannot believe that I have not fallen asleep yet since I have been up since nine o’clock Sunday morning [...]
I went to bed last night at twelve thirty (that makes it this morning) and was still awake at eight this morning. So I just gave up on sleep and got out of bed. First I did my Bible study, ate breakfast, and then started quilting. Since I was tired, but still not sleepy, I [...]
Today I finally finished the nine quilts. To say I am tired and also tired of quilts is putting it mildly. But it is nice to see results of my work. I quilted the non Christmas side of this quilt years ago and now it is part of a Christmas quilt and will now have [...]
