Little Blue (Kenmore mini) and I had an outing today....to celebrate the need for self-care! With my arthritis, she is all I can carry in my little Walmart cooler..
.She is the same weight (11 lbs) as those little black expensive specials....:)
The "no think" work I always have with me on these occasions is shown here..
Scraps are so much more my style. I just emptied my box of 1.5 inch strips with some red squares and I am always good to go.
Today, I so wanted to go back to bed for a cozy sleep after the early school buses..But, I made myself get up and go to my morning bee...It is called the "Queen Bee"!!!
Obviously a play on words..so much more fun as Charlotte is known as the Queen city.
In the spirit of no moping, I wore my bee necklace.
This little gem is a pin that my mother won in a game in the assisted living facility where she and her Parkinson's had lived for 12 years.
When a resident died and no relatives claimed possessions...the loot was put into a box for winnings at Bingo..or my mother's favorite, an auction...with play money they were given by the facility..
My mother "won" this lovely. I think it is adorable and wear it on a chain.
My bee day was already going to bee good one, I could tell.
My friend Ellen was there...She is a known artist in our community. She was making her grandchild a super cape out of this fabric she had had on the shelf for 20 years.
I think you know where this is going...Fabric hoarder that I am, I just could not let it bee, she allowed me some of it and I took this fat eighth...
You see, poor me does not have enough fabric. Love!
The O'Quilt family is happy to bring to you tonight a happy post!!
At this hour, this growing old lady is munching M&M's. and posting..
My dear man is stable tonight...knock on wood..and the world spins soundly
