Do you ever think...How am I going to get this all accomplished? Well, that is where I am right now. We just found out we have a problem in the main bathroom... a leak. Alan was able to find a restoration company and the insurance is onboard so now the work will begin. All I know is that things are going to be messy and noisy for the rest of the week. Murphy is not too happy but he did offer kisses to the guys! At the moment he is upset with the landscapers. so it goes.
I am busy with sewing but also trying to get all the necessary paperwork and clearance for the October 3rd disc removal/fusion surgery. Tomorrow will be the EKG and hopefully the cardiologist will not add a monkey wrench to the mix and give me the okay.
Just look at all the floral fabric Dianna brought to me!the next few days I will be cutting the hexie centers....I have 6 to finish, and that will be 26 done.. I will plan the layout when they are all finished.
These are not sewn together yet...but I already love them. I think it may take close to 100 hexagons for this quilt. Sewing by hand is very relaxing to me....even with Murphy yelling at the landscapers....and soon there will be a bathroom tear up. Thank goodness for Alan, he has it all under control. I can just sit in my domain and stitch!
Did you watch the Queen's funeral? I happened to wake at 2am (Arizona time) and it was starting, so I made a cup of coffee and watched. It was beautiful and the people...my goodness, it was a sea of people lining the streets. The finale was touching...the piper playing until it faded away...the removal of the scepter, orb and the crown from the coffin... the breaking of the wand over the coffin...symbol of his end of duty to the queen. I was just 5 years old when she was crowned queen...watching it was special and I do remember the pomp . Now 70 years later I watched the end of her rein.
Nice to chat but should get back to sewing while it is quiet around here. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, Thank you for you friendship.

Its fun seeing your progress.
Mikey and Krissy bark at everything we have to keep scolding them, it is getting better.
I did watch some of the funeral, she was an amazing Lady that will be missed.
Have a great day.

Sorry to hear about the bathroom mess, but I'm sure Alan will be sure it's taken care of properly.
The new quilt is going to be lovely!
Good luck at the cardiologist. I'm sure you will make out fine.
Hugs to you.
Those floral prints are so pretty! They are going to make a lovely quilt.
I got a paid day off work for the funeral, but as the schools were closed too I spent it looking after my son!
I'm in a constant state of 'how am I getting to get all of this done'...just a little at a time, hopefully!
Your new quilt looks really pretty already.
