I WILL TAKE MINE ON A ROLL--

I was on a "roll" again today---Hey--talking about "rolls"--
My Dad when asked to "pass the rolls-please"--
Would always say--
"Well--get down on the floor and roll!!"
And here is a picture of me and my Dad on my High School graduation day--yes-- see even here I am still "cute"--but where did my blonde curls go???  As we get older everything changes--now it's "grey"!!!! (and as a foote note--I did make the dress!!)

OH now where was I---OH I remember I was on a roll---All this "sunshine" lately--
I got up full of energy---went to Mary's--then came home and cleaned the bathroom--
even mopped the floor---
ran the vacuum in all the rooms--
Refueled --ate lunch--
and went downstairs and did two loads of laundry!!!

Did I sew today--
Well--I did get one pink baby hat finished knitting while down there and a second for this month started---
And last night I got a block done for a bom--
and then late this afternoon I got it all finished--
this is the Sentimental Journey block for March--It did give me a "headache" yesterday--I had decided I wanted to applique the clovers on--
Here is one--
and here is the second one---
very untidy and not to my liking at all--sometimes it's just the fabric--if the fabric is a bit on the heavy side and has large threads -- it just plain frays alot and it is hard to get a nice sharp edge---but I think part of my problem was the way I had traced the pattern--I think on this one if I had done 4 individual leaves I would of done better---but I just went to plan B--and colored the leaf area in with colored pencil and went on--do like how it came out and I can mark one more finish of for this month!!!

And I do have another sampler top started--the First Friday Freebie--like how that is coming along---
Be good tomorrow--(today) and give someone a hug just for the "fun" of it!!!
SHHHHH--bunny is getting all rested up as he is up for next holiday and he will have lots of work to do!!!!
Hugs, Di

Di, I know you said you live in Watkins Glen, just a short distance from where hubby and I were both born and raised. Where were you raised? I'm wondering if we're from relatively the same area.

As I wrote before, hubby and I were both born and raised in Olean, NY. We lived there until we graduated High School and married a year later........we're talking many moons ago..LOL

I like the picture of you and your Dad. Nice dress :)


Laundry and cleaning again? Those chores just keep showing up don't they. It seems once you finish cleaning one area, another one needs cleaning!
