Back in the saddle

Well, today I am going back to work. Spring break is over. There is only 6 more weeks of classes left before the summer. I am going to have to decide if I am going to keep working or retire.... It sure would be fun to stay home.. But, I don't know if I can be organized enough to accomplish anything... We shall see..

New quilt

I have been working, working, working,trying to finish the southern quilt before I go back to work. My house is a wreck and I have not completed anything else... But the top is ready to be put together...

You won't believe this, but I just found another block, now I need to reposition the whole thing. I worked on my sewing room today,, getting all my fabrics, machine, ironing board and table in one room... It will save so many steps. I have been cutting in one room, going down the hall to sew,,, going across the hall to iron, and back and forth.... ugh! So, my husband helped me take down the bed and get it out to the shed,,, I have my very own room! Still a work in progress, but it is all mine! woo-hoo!!!!

What a wake up call! Luke, being inside still recuperating from his broken back leg (see picture of him and Thyra chilling in front of the tv) begins to bark uncontrollably and Thyra pounces from the bed barking at the top of her lungs to back him up... OK, OK I say, I'm up! first day of spring break to sleep late.. New time 6:00 am, old time 5:00am. Same as always. So here I am, up,, brain spinning with things I want to do. I have almost completed the ALS quilt I have been working on. I have Tea dyed the white that I thought was too white, and have it in the washer now.... We shall see how it turns out..I want to cut out a new quilt today. I have a doctor's appt. later today. I really want to work on my sewing room.

So much to do! I only have a week off..I will post pictures later when the quilt is dry, I need to start getting ready..

Just trying to figure this out.

Poor Luke is still recuperating his back leg.
