IT'S BEEN A WEEK OF--

 Doing it "over's"--

I have gotten only half of what I could of gotten done this week--

if I hadn't had to do each stitch over again--

it started with this project on Tuesday morning--

I decided I wanted to get a bit  done on the Farmhouse piece-- do you see a problem here???  Well--

it's because  '3' of these triangles are the wrong color threads--and I was having such an easy time stitching those 3 in--for some reason I looked at the color pattern --instead of the black and white chart I was working from--and seen I was doing the color wrong!!!  This morning I corrected the piece-they are now all white triangles--the next color on this one is probably the red one--only---

I discovered the thread I had ordered that was listed as the red one for this project--was not really a red or even a rusty red--but a washed out orangey color--I want a redish color for this project--(and I have '6' skeins of this orangey color--) I went through all my red floss boxes and just did not find what I wanted--so now I have 'lots' of shades of red coming in--from 2 different companies to see if 'miss fussy pants' here can find one she likes!!!!

In quilting I have been working on this project for a couple days now--

and this is where the story of my life gets really interesting!!!

I was stitching the sets of blocks to go between these blocks --yesterday--

When the top spool of thread broke--so I just rethreaded the machine and keep on going--

big mistake--I did alot of the sewing--then happened to turn one of the blocks around and noticed a loopy mess of thread--welll---guess the bobbin thread also jumped off course--and everything I had stitched since I rethreaded the machine--had to 'ripped' out and restitched!!!!    And when I went back to the project this morning--it seemed I was still ripping things out--I got the 2 blocks on the far right row--twisted--and did not notice it until--after that row was stitched together!!!!

SO --I now know how to unstitch as well as I do--to stitch--

Now--I need to ask your opinion--I can leave the blocks the way it is in the upper photo--or I can add more to it-

 with like these two rows going between the 3 rows--I could also do a row going all around the top piece--I do have enough fabric pieces cut??????????

And my little hand held camera is having 'temper' trauma's!!!!  I finally had to get out my 'big' camera to get these shots--but that camera is hard to get close up shots--so I really need to get me a new little camera!!!

Oh--and I ordered me a 5ft folding table so I can hand baste the larger quilt tops--it came in--and it was sooo heavy--come to find out the box says 'resin' table--heavy--must of weighted 40 lbs--it won't work for me--so I had to print out a label and it goes back tomorrow--still have to go look for a new table now too!!!!

AS I said--it's been a week of do-over's that is for sure--!!!

I did get another baby sweater finished--

and when I went to set up another sweater on the needles--it took '4' trys--have no idea why--just kept counting wrong for some reason!!!!

and here is my first couple blocks stitched up for the Crabapple Hill stitch along--

and this was time consuming also--in trying to decide for sure what colors of floss I wanted on mine and how I wanted to 'frame' each little block!!

But--I had two breaks today--

first the Dermatologist  came today and she removed a skin tag on my neck that was bothering me--so I have a little boo-bo!! ( no pain--but got a band-aid!!!:-)

and then the Public health nurse came and gave me my B-12 injection--!!  So I did get some lovin attention!!!

BE REAL CAREFUL OUT THERE--THERE IS ALOT OF MIS-IMFORMATION ON THESE NEW VACCINES --LISTEN CAREFULLY WHEN THEY ARE GIVING THEM YOU--CAUSE YOU STILL NEED TO WEAR A MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCE--

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY--LUV, DI

This tree is in our lobby--

and here is mine--notice it says--love bug on it--wonder who made them!!!!
