My Multifarious Life

Ten inch squares ready for HST and Hour Glass Blocks.

I do not want to mark them.  I do not want to iron a fold...I want an easier way.

The above is a failure made right by a friend.  She generously unpicked them all so I could make big mistakes right.  A big "Thank you" to friends!!  The green fabric is from the 30's, I found the bill of sale.

When UFO finishing pressure is way too much...the way to relax is to start anew..

The beginning of scrap four patches.

Below, the good looking Dineens in our family...

New York Times, A fun link..........Upcycle, Recycle

Jo's Country Junction, vaccine's in Iowa  I am posting this because I had a very easy time getting my shots. My eyes were opened wide....scroll down on her blog to see how Jo got her shots.  I guess I am just to old to imagine this...brrr  Of course, I wrote this before the Texas storm...OMG

Two friends died last week.  Usually I print out the obituaries for my obituary folder.  I decided to stop. Why did I do that?   Why do I need an obituary folder? Who knows??.. I just read them online now and let them go. Progress for me.

A Charlotte Quilt Guild Sit and Sew today....good to see sewing friends.   A trip to the grocery store ...double masking did not work as I could not breathe. However, there was certainly a lightness in my heart having been vaccinated against the boogie man. I must admit my body is a bit like petrified wood now, having been isolated pretty much for a year with no pool exercises....

Kids coming home tomorrow after 5 days with their mother.  Dylan's birthday is a week from today.  He will be 11. Emily's birthday two days later, she will be......Brian's birthday the next week...he will be....

I can now walk all the aisles of the grocery store with no pain...today, anyway. 

Such an accomplishment. that Hope appeared...Nice to see her after all this time.

Another Zoom tonight with a friendship group.

I am making project bags.  When I found the cool and awesome sparkly vinyl that Cousin Ann had sent me from England, it was wrinkled beyond belief.  A warm iron over an old dish towel..fixed it right up.

Sun in Charlotte...finally...beaming down on the Nandina that MP gave me.

Spring?  Maybe??  My daughter's birthday is March 1.  By then, the Red Bud trees are usually blooming in Charlotte.

I know weather is crazy this year...but Red Bud and Daffodils are really, really nice!!

Lynsey, 12 and Ava, almost 3...Sisters!!!

Looking through things, I found this that my grandmother made.  My heart....

Lynsey visiting her brother's ferret, Flowey.

Idea today from our quilting Zoom:  from the paint store, a comfort grip handle that fits on any aerosol can.  It is too awkward for my starch, but I think it will be handy for spray basting.

It is almost time for bed.

Before that, my son appeared with a story I could barely believe.

The downstairs toilet has been cloggy ...I blamed everyone..would not let anyone use it...No one listened..crabby grandma...grrr

My son appeared tonight with the answer.  Stuck in the drain under the shower, just out of his reach was a huge, complete, red face cloth that someone decided to flush down the toilet.

Now there is no one in my house who is under ten....OMG

What in the world could be in the mind of children old enough to know better.????

And, from Wanda, I learned about:  Charlie Harper
