WOW--A SUPER BUSY WEEK--

Doing everything==but stitching it seemed--I was on the 'go' every day--Monday though Thursday--and even got to go to lunch on Wednesday with my 'new' daughter in law!!!  So by Wednesday afternoon, I was tired and so looking forward to just sitting in the rocker and stitching and watching some of my recorded shows from the Hallmark Mystery channel --only--I had no cable and the DVR was blank--tried to reboot it--but--all it would do was continually reboot--so had to call Spectrum and they said the DVR had died--what--- again??????  

If I got any time to stitch--I mostly appliqued on the Christmas Hearts--

And I only wanted to stitch on my Country blocks and put it together--which I did on Friday while I waited for Spectrum to come with the new DVR--and by mid afternoon I had the first sets done-

I was so happy to get all caught up--

BUT--when I looked at it on Saturday morning--hanging on the design wall- I did not like it--especially those 2 red --9 patches--they were just too bright--that is all you seen--

So--yesterday afternoon while I watched some 'racing'--I made friends with a 'frog' and we went to work--discovered there was 3rd block that needed to be replaced too--the one in front of the bird block-it was all 'wonky' for some reason--so after lots of 'frogging' and re-stitching --here she is --- 

Much Much better--at least I think so!!!

And did you notice what I stitched for the little blank row between the 9-patchs?

I did the ABC's to add a bit of 'interest' I counted and we would have 12 of these blocks--so did the ABC's on 9 strips and did heart on the other 3!!!  The abc's are done in 2 shades of blues!

And here is this week's Heart block--

And that was pretty much it for last week--I did do some hand quilting on the Beach scene and some knitting--

But hopefully I will have more time this week to stitch--though I already have plans for Monday!!!

I know I showed you photos of rainbows last week--but we had another really pretty one last night so here is a couple more to enjoy--

These are different though--do you know 'why'???  There is blue sky behind the rainbow--where as there is usually dark rain clouds behind them!!!

Well--guess this is all I got for this week--Oh--wait--I did discover I still had Netflix though my daughters account so got to see some good movies while waiting for the Spectrum guy--Watched--

Poms, A man called Otto, Rescued by Rudy (true story), Walk, Ride, Rodeo-(true story), Dog Gone (true story) and my favorite was--Where the Crawdads Sing--loved the scenery in this one and the story line was really good and a really great surprise ending--just my kind of movie!!!  Now that I know I have Netflix I will be using it  more often--do you know of any good movies for me to watch???

BACK TO STITCHING--AND GOING OUT TO LUNCH AND HAVING SOME FUN, FOLKS!!

HUGS, DI
