Design Wall Monday

I am gaining little by little! There are

now 52 flying geese and I need 38 more.I have made 232 of the 3 1/2 Nine Patches

and need 38 more. Don't have much to say today....it is a CFS day. I plan to try to get some resting done and then maybe I will have some energy to do some sewing .....and laundry.

Our Winter Visitors....Swans

The last several winters we have had swans move

to town. You will have to click to enlarge to get

a better look, one has a red tag on his neck.

We have a small lake on each the South, East and

West sides of town. They usually stay in the

Katy Allen Lake on the east side.

They are so graceful and peaceful to watch. We have been checking the lakes when we are out and about and we haven't seen them since the "Midwest Blizzard of 2011". They may have thought it was time to move on!

Medical Appointments....venting...

I absolutely hate going to Dr and Dentist appts. I have been having trouble with my thyroid and my blood pressure. When I try the meds I have reactions and I get so tired of the medical professionals questioning me to see if it is in my head??? I will tell you after all the years of being ill I know when I am having a panic or nervous reaction to something and I know when a medicine is causing me to have a reaction. After passing the age of 50 and still hearing this ......I am just about to the point when it starts to just get up and walk out. I am in a rut and seem to do better if I just stay on my regular meds and try not to add anything to the mix. I am just venting here..... Why can't the Dr's just listen and try to believe what you tell them?

Foto Finish....Love

I think the cat loves us....I know we love the cat.

If she feels she has been neglected for too many

hours on any given day....when you walk past she

will do this .....and mew!Isn't this just pathetic? You would think she is neglected.

Design Wall Monday

This quilt is the new block of the month

project for 2011 at Kountry Kin Quilt Shop.

I really liked this one so I went

ahead and signed up.

I know I do not really need another project, but

what's one block a month to get done? The coffee cup is February's block, I picked my baggie up and will finish it before the months up. Below I have January's block finished...it is called chocolate cake. The owner has done a great job picking out all the colors to go in this quilt. She had two chocolate cakes made and ready to serve Saturday when everyone went to pick up their next block and instructions. Now to the design wall........this week I spent my quilting energy on my Valentine 8x4 inch flying geese blocks. They are fun to make and go rather quickly compared to my little 9 patch rascals!

Nine patch count is up to...... 204 down and

66 to go. Yeah, I have made it over the

200 mark!!!!

I have 48 flying geese blocks done

and 42 to go for my

Valentines Day Quilt! HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!!!
