Just Too Cute

This pic requires this second blog for the day!! Came from a friend of my Mom's. How cute, a roomful of Bogie and Rileys. How come I can't ever get Bogie this still?

Normal Afterall!

I'm normal, yes I'm in pre-meno..... thank goodness, I thought I was going crazy. Thank goodness for Ken, he's the best! The dr put me on soy isoflavones, rather not do hormones yet. After two days, I'm sewing, might even feel like cleaning!! I've been decorating baby clothes for my sister-in-law's new grand baby. It's a boy, and Daddy's in the Special Forces, thus the camo one. I put my little tags (poppies and palms) on the back, there's no threads on the inside, so baby won't itch. Get well Austin, and peace to Diana's boys.

Sailing on the River of Denile!!

My sister says I'm in denial, I say I'm going through menopause....

I'm painting fabric yesterday and today in exchange for my sanity!! I sure hope the dr tells me I'm in early menopause - cause I am a wreck! Can't sleep (that's been happening for awhile), can't concentrate on anything, don't feel like doing anything. Hey, maybe I'm really an artist and I have a creative block, sounds better than insane or menopause to me!! Anyhow, this is what I did yesterday, one is Diamond in the Rough (WIP) and the the other is Going Green (WIP)

Inchies

I've discovered Inchies! How much fun. I've been playing around all morning, well I guess now into the afternoon too! Fun!! I'm such experimenting right now, but with A.D.D. playing a large part of my creative juices, these little projects are things I can complete!! I forgot to mess with my pictures first, so they are a little dark. I'm now going to embellish each 1 inch square.

My Michael Miller fabric

Playing with Starbucks' help, he thinks because he can't see me, then surely I don't see him!

Heat and Spill Proof

Did y'all know they made spill proof keyboards now?? How do I know, because I spilled my cereal bowl in the old keyboard and milk and Hewlett Packard don't mesh!! So... now we have a new keyboard, spill proof no less! I have decided on a quilt pattern!! After looking at hundreds of different ones on the net, I finally decided on a pattern, and yes it's very simple, but bold! I think it was on a ladies blog from Norway!! Anyhow, I started it today, maybe pics tomorrow after a little more progress!! It has been 110 or higher degrees for this whole week!! Right now it's 6:00 pm and it's 100 in the shade on our deck!! Yuk!! Makes it very hard to do anything, but sew! I've survived my second straight week at the gym, going everyday!! I can't diet because of my blood pressure meds and thyroid meds, so small portions and lots of sweat, have I lost any weight, no!! I can't lift my arms, or feel my legs from the knees down, but no weight loss, maybe the scales at the gym are broken!!??

Record Heat AGAIN

We can't leave the house hardly, it's sooo hot. Thank goodness when our a/c went out last week, they fixed it the very next day!! 2 weeks of 100 or better predicted!! The Starbucks and Bogie just lay around, it's so hot. Starbucks usually manages to get his big furry body on top of an a/c vent and just lays there. I've included a pic of my regress into cross stitch. I just can't make linen look even!! How do these other ladies do it??

One is going to be a witch picture, the other believe it or not is "home of the brave". My home is wiggily due to my uneven stitches, I'm trying!!

100 + Pics

OOpsie, how'd the wonder mutt get in here??

Turning 100 is cool!

Wow, a lot has happened since I turned 100!! (100 Blogs that is!) I've been major sick, thanks, Adkins Diet! Now almost back to normal (my normal), Lili and Jenny have a pet, we went to scrapbook convention in Charlotte! Adkins Diet is not good to go on when you have thyroid and high blood pressure issues! I about died, or so I thought! Major drop is sugar levels caused me to go down, literally! No energy, no circulation in extremities, no sight cause of the massive headache, awful! We've been going to gym everyday, by the way, Lili lost 5 lbs! Yeah, go girl! I lost weight too, but not healthily for my health issues. No more Adkins for me, just tiny portions and exercise, and no obsessing about weight, (I don't live in Hollywood, anyhow!) K has a "plump" wife that's all! Over, end of subject.
Jenny and Lili so want to be full blown adults, they are 18, going to college in 2 weeks, drive, work, why aren't they adults all they way?? They went to the beach last week and came home with "Crabby" the Hermit Crab like little girls do!! Anyhow, what do you feed a hermit crab, I forgot?? He or she, Crabby is noisy - I thought we had another possum in the house eating dog food, it was the Crabby walking in his house!
Scrapbook Convention - very much the money eater, again. No room for paper girls, don't let me buy any, well, I am the proud owner of all new Basic Grey, Lots of Rusty Pickle, including new book (yeah!) and the mandatory Disney and school for Austin and the Girls, so much fun, but had no energy yet, had to eat sugar every 20 minutes, rest every isle and locate the first aid section (really). Thank you Nadine for having numerous nursing skills and Julie for driving (thanks Dale Earnhardt, female version) Pics are next, scrapbook and Crabby! Welcome, Pichu, the new kitten! A real cutie, see pics to come on soncatandme.
