WEATHER AND WHETHER---??

 I  have to say--I really don't remember our weather being so humid and hot here, so early--I want to go outside and sit and breathe some nice fresh air--but--it is also good to breathe while doing that and it doesn't seem to be working that way???

I had a super busy week again--but -- I did manage to get some stitching done--my 'quitting' time is between  3:30-4:00 pm-- and then it's hand work time--

So this week I spent some time on the wool ornament blocks--

2 lamb blocks are nearly done--they need 2 buttons on each one for the wheels and some eyes-

Two candle sticks with candles--these still need some little red seed beads by the holly leaves--I thought those handles would be hard to stitch on--but they weren't!!!

And 2 snow ladies--they still need some little tiny beads around the vine over their heads--

I still have 2 gingerbreads to do and 2 with large holly leaves on to do--

And remember last week--I said I had a 'brain' storm one morning for my heart blocks--

and it was to add this 'dash' line around each one--what a difference it makes--still have more to do--I save these for when I am too tired to do anything else!!!

And of course I always knit before bed--am working on 2 different yarn baby sweaters--OH and I did work on some cross stitching in the mornings--but forgot again to do a photo???

The rest of the week was either grocery shopping or working on the continuing cleaning and sorting out--

Here is my fabric closet now--

All my fabric--except Christmas fabric is now sorted and in an envelope--( the Christmas fabric is sorted but left in  a nice plastic tote box ,and the bottom shelf is my books in these wonderful envelopes--

Here is what one looks like--they hold alot--are about 16" x 10" or so inches and are not vinyl--but made from a material like vinyl--but barely any smell to them--

And I got all my quilts bagged up--

These bags are really big and I could easily put more in each one--!!!  These came in a set of 6--I still have the 2 yellow ones I can use on other things or the larger quilts I have on the walls???

And these little neat tote bags--

 I am using to sort my patterns in --one already has my loose recipes in it--there is 2 zipper pockets on these and a nice handle--the patterns have to wait until the longer folding table is set up--so that I have room to sort them all out!! All came from Amazon--

and here is the 2 new boxes I got at JoAnn's a couple weeks ago--

I just love these with the birds on them!!!!

I did sell my heavy microwave cabinet and my big heavy desk though the desk is still here--she will come sometime this week to pick it up--

Lots of bags of fabric and 2 boxes of patterns where picked up by Karen a member of the  Quilt Guild--and they were really happy to get them and I was happy to share!!!

It is looking like I might be moving apartments within this building--probably in 4-6 weeks--the manager and asst manager came up and I showed them the ceiling and mold issue and they took photos and sent them to the main head office--so I have 2 opps--one I can stay here--move all my furniture to the other half of the room and go stay some where's for 4 days while their maintence men redo the ceiling and such (no professionals will do this, I guess  and believe me--I know what kind of mess these 2 men make!!)--I will have to wash everything when I come back in--including all the dishes in the kitchen--even if some things are covered in plastic--mess!!!  Or I can apply to move and move to a different apartment--so far the vote with family and friends is to do the move!!  I have till Wednesday to decide for sure--still need to talk to my Son!!

Not sure how much sewing I will get done this week--it looks busy all week --with appointments!!!

LETS TAKE A BREAK AND HAVE SOMETHING COLD TO EAT--LIKE ICE CREAM!!!!!

HUGS, DI
