HAVE YOU GOT YOUR 'GREEN' ON???

 Happy--St. Patty's day!!!--I did have my green Lucky t-shirt on and a pretty St Patty's day silk scarf --!!!

I know I was busy all week--yet when I went to do photos for this post--it doesn't seem like I have very many----

I did get this month's heart embroidery block done from Melisa--


And now here is the first '3' months we have done--


She is coloring her's in a bit--I may do that--later and use colored pencils--time will tell???

I also designed a couple little wool bunny items--


I enjoyed doing these (they are a bit lighter in color than they look here)--I mean, I had the box of wool out for this months 'wool' Christmas ornaments I am doing each month--so why not have a couple rabbits jump out of the box too!!!  This months 'wool' is stars--they are not done yet--wonder why???

Last night I finished the hand quilting on the borders to this quilt--


I did a big stitch on the lattice in a variegated pink thread--now to just trim the edges and sew the binding on--binding is all cut-just needs to be sewn and pressed--

One afternoon I found and cut 3-4 projects of battings and backings--now to press them and get them basted for hand quilting--

And I have done a couple more hearts this week--


And on one of my shopping trips this past week--this really pretty cute pink bunny hopped a ride home with me--

Betty and Peter are keeping an eye on her--to be sure she doesn't 'hop' off some place--

And here is a new Metal rabbit that I got at Dollar Tree a couple weeks ago--in their $3-$5 section and I only paid $3 for her--

And I have been cross stitching a new sampler this week--it is almost finished--

****************
Part 2--Daily life!!!

Monday was our Van drive--we went to a Super Walmart--there was just 2 of us for some reason--this trip there is usually 4-6 that go--I just shopped for regular things that I needed--and yes--this is where the new pink bunny jumped into my cart and wanted to come live here!!!

Tuesday I took the bus to the Publix store--our weeks worth of menus here--were terrible so I knew I needed some good food for the week--got me some fresh salmon--organic potatoes, asparagus, and a rotisserie Chicken --(ok and some dark chocolate and some organic ice cream!!!)

Wednesday I had to go see the visiting nurse, Lynda to get my B-12 injection--I actually have the disease that requires you to get an injection every month or more--mine is every 3 weeks now after getting it since 1995!!  And the office wanted me to sign a new 'House Rules' package--I told them I signed that when I resert--well they got upset about that--so I brought a copy home to read--it was --wait for it--12 pages long--and most of involved family units--no families here--just us old whining, complaining, confused, seniors--but I signed it!!!

Thursday--it was just me and a walk downtown--went into a couple stores and then stopped at a place called Burger Inn--done in the  50's style and had a Cheeseburger, fries, and ice tea-for the grand sum of $14.00--the burger was good--but only medium size--I did eat it out on their patio--so it was an enjoyable outing--

Saturday--I was up at 7 am and down in the laundry room by 7:10 to do laundry--did 2 big loads and spent the rest of the day just plain--doing housework--so now I can spend this week--getting it all messy and the floor full of threads again--oh what fun!!!

*********
my daughter goes for the biopsies tomorrow and we should know the results by the end of the week--so am still waiting on that--

****
still no word from HUD on the food price increase--
*****
And my Patty's day lunch, from the dinning room, was--corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and brown bread--ONLY--you could not even cut the corn beef with a sharp knife--and forget eating it, and rest wasn't eatable either except the potatoes--ended up fixing me something from the freezer--we did also get 'grasshopper pie"--maybe that will be good later this afternoon???? 






WELL AFTER TODAY--EASTER WILL BE IN FULL MODE--ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!

HUGS, DIANE

Now this I could of enjoyed today for lunch!!!

What did you have for your St Patty's day dinner???

I've got the standard fare in the crock pot ready, irish soda bread in the oven and the cabbage in the instapot, cause that is how I like it! Looks like you made a bunch of progress this week. Hope the biopsy turns up good results.

The monthly hearts are so fun, Melisa posts such fun projects. You've been moving along with several projects. Love the bunnies. Hard to believe Easter is just a week away!
