GRUMPY---

I did wake up in a really  "grumpy" mood today--

have NO idea why really--just did--

then a little later a big fur 'ball' jumped up on the bed and purred me into a good mood--

Thank you, Miss Gracie!!!

I did start hand quilting a new small quilt this morning--

This one has been waiting 'in line' for along time--

so she's really happy that at least she has been started--

but then once 'grumpy Di' got up and did the dishes and got ahold of her day--

she ended up in the sewing room for the rest of day--

working on this--

the 'some kind of wonderful' quilt for the SAL--

but she decided she did not like the little blocks--

too busy and too much color--didn't think the actual blocks were showing up--

so back to the sewing room and did some 'frogging'--

and came up with this--

It looks light here--  but is much brighter and cheerier--in real life---

This one is alittle better--

I am using some of the strips from 2 jelly rolls of the Bunny Hill collection--

for the borders and in between the blocks--

so now I need to go and find a blue fat quarter pack or a blue jelly roll for some more blues to go in the quilt in the borders!!!

And-- I need to do the embroidery work on each block--

lets see I have --opps---just 3 more days to get this strip finished!!!!!

A package came yesterday from 'lil sister'--

a glass lady bug and a spool of ribbon--

some really cute tiny ornaments with cross stitching in them that she found at a sale--

the cutest tiny bear--she is sitting in the above picture with the ornaments--

wire tree topper angel--very country--

and--

very old glass holders--I have a set that has been in the family for years--

now I have more!!!!

Thanks lil sister for my new loot!!!!

Also got a second package from my brother and sister in law--

Got these adorable angel measuring spoons--

and they were ok--but--the second gift in the box--

did not fair so well--agrrrrrr!!!!

we are definitely not 'feeling well' here--

It 'was' a two tiered plate server--but----

And looky here--Miss Gracie has finally learned that mom has learned how to take her picture and not have the flash go off in her eyes!!!!

It is almost here--

Hugs, from the 'girls'
