IT IS SUNDAY-----

This for those 'folks' who don't know what day it is!!!
(just joking--I also have my days --when  I am not sure what day it is??)

First up is some stitching and reports-
but at the end is a funny/sad story--
so keep reading--

First up--

my 'sisters' block for the month of March--

I really had to go with my limited stash on my my teals for these--
but just the same I love stitching these blocks--

and a finish--

for the Counted Cross Stitch project I have been working on most mornings--

This is hot off the press--
as I finished it off this morning--
I think I started this 8-9 years ago--
I did find a spot to add the year and at the end of
the numbers on the left side of this piece is my initials-
now to decide on how  to finish it off???

and for this afternoon --when I am off here--
I will be redressing this gal--

I had to wash her clothes--and I did that a couple months or so ago--
and she has been patiently waiting for me to redress her--
and have some applique planned to do also--!!

I have several projects I am working on at the moment--
one was really giving me a hard time-
a rabbit wall hanging--wouldn't you know--
but we finally sat down and had a good talk and now after alot of
unstitching and restitching--
that one is back on track!!

I also cut out fabric for a new project on the sewing machine=
it seems alot of my projects lately are just hand work--

and then today I copied off some patterns for a new spring mystery project-
over on buttermilkbasin.com
so hope to do that one--pop over and have a look and think about joining me--
oh and have you seen the 3-D pinwheels on www.getasquiltingstudio.com
are they not the neatest thing since 'sliced bread'??????
( I do believe I have seen these somewhere else in the past--but never did make any--)
so who wants to join me in those--I guess I got my week planned out--
plus new color projects will be revealed this week--!!!

Ok--I know you are all sitting there just 'chomping' at the bit to hear the funny/sad story!!
A couple days ago--
our staff here came around to all the apartments with carts full of fresh flowers--
and this is the bunch I picked--

some really pretty carnations-
and I put them in my 2 quart old canning jar
(which has made being shipped to Fl and NY and Fl '3x' and not gotten broken!!!)
about 2 hours later or so-- I realized that something wasn't quite right
 with me and how I was feeling--so you know how it goes--all kinds of thoughts
start going through your head--including--oh dear am I coming down with the '19-virus'??
Then I happened to look over at my pretty flowers--
and that is when it hit me--
I was having an allergic reaction to the flowers--!!!
so I took them to the kitchen and wrapped some paper towels around the stems-
and knocked on the neighbor's door across the hall from me
and gave them to her--
that was sooooo hard--I love flowers--!!!

Well--it's been 2 weeks since I had dinner with my son--
it was take out and was on a Saturday night and it was the last time I was in a grocery store--
that following Tuesday--my son is pretty sure he came down with Covid-19--he has all the
things they tell you about and his boss had been sick and in the ER 2 times the week before--
but they did not have any testing here in the area then--so who knows--Dan is pretty much better now--thankfully--so I have been waiting for the 2 week mark from being with him and in the store to see if I would come down with it,
I do believe there is alot of folks out there who are sick and have been sick before all the testing
was available--so I believe the numbers are really higher than they know--

and when you get home from the store are you wiping all the groceries down with disinfectant???
you better be--cause other people have more than likely also touched that box, or can or jar--and they may be coming down with--
ok--that's my story and thoughts on this terrible illness that has
  almost made the world come to a stop!!

LOVE TO ALL AND STAY HAPPY AND HEALTHY--
AND KEEP SEWING AND GARDENING--
