WE GOT RAIN--

 I would of liked it to 'rain' dollar bills or fabric--but instead we got lots and lots of good steady rain--it rained hard 2 days and off and on the day before those and a day or two afterwards--I believe we got 8-10 inches of rain, or more in total and we really really needed it--but it was hard for me to go so many days with out sunshine-nearly a whole week--today --we are back to full sun and blue skies--but a bit cool for us long-term southerns!!!!!! 

I did get some house work done--but mostly it was lots of hand stitching--

I got --

Novembers block done in the pink and greens I am doing these in--the pattern is from Melisa and we have just December's to do now--when she gives that us the first of the month--

And I got Block #2 and #3 in her newest Snowmen series all finshed--

block #2

block #3

And here is the first 3 blocks-- so far--

Remember I am doing these in '6' shades of blues--so will have '2' of each color in the quilt--

these are so fun to stitch!!!!

I got the 16th Sunbonnet Sue appliqued--

I am waiting on the new plaid fabric order for the next 4 Sues--hopefully it will be here tomorrow or Tuesday!!

And  here is this week's Heart block--

And --yes--I know mine is different--the 3 little hearts are suppose to be in row down the left side of the heart inside the heart--only--that flower in the upper left hand corner is soo pretty I just couldn't cover it up--so I put my '3' little hearts at the base of the big heart!!!!!

Here is the newest counted cross stitch I am working on--

Can you guess what I am stitching at the end of the word--Cookies?????

And I have spent some time this week hand quilting on the 'sisters' quilt--

I just have 3 1/2 sisters to do--and then all the sister blocks will be done-- But--look at all the blue space, all around the sister's--

What am I going to quilt in all that space??????

And I started a dish cloth last evening--

Yes--I still have a baby sweater in the works--I have a big stack of sweaters that now need buttons and to be shipped to World Vision--hopefully after pay day on the 1st!!!!

I mainly did just grocery shopping this week--did make it into a bigger Dollar Tree on Monday and did find some 'stuff'--mostly things I needed and some stocking stuffers!!!

CHANGES--life is always in motion and whether we want it to or not--things change--I did get my cell phone up and running and I really like it so far--lots of differences--but have alot to figure out yet--and my daughter and I were talking about all the computer changes and how now it takes us more steps to do what we used to do --we are not happy about this--but--we just have to adjust--

and there has been a change here--the Salvation Army for years has always bought us a Thanksgiving dinner --boxed up to our apartments on Thanksgiving day--this year--they are doing the dinner down in our dinning room--this afternoon--and you have to go and eat down there--not happy about this as---100 residents signed up to go down to our small dining room that probably only serves half of that many--I do not like crowds--so I will probably just stay home--now I will be going to my Son's on  Wednesday for turkey dinner--so I will be getting some fresh roasted turkey--and the trimmings--and some love and fellowship with him and my daughter in law--much better !!

SO WHO IS PUTTING UP THEIR CHRISTMAS TREES SOMETIME THIS WEEK??? ENJOY!!

HUGS, DI
