GOT LOTS OF 'B'S TODAY--

 TO tell you all about--

First up is the Big Blue skies outside the window today and a Big Bee--honey bee keeps flying past it!!

And it's Been a Busy week--Monday was the Van Trip to the Big Publix up the road--found some treasures at the Big Dollar Tree next door and some Bargains at Publix--

Tuesday, my  Best friend Cheryl and headed out to go to the Bank, when the X-ray technician called and said she was 5 minutes away --so we turned around and came back and she came into the apartment with her machine and X-rayed my arm and hand--she left and Cheryl and did continue on to the Bank--then we went to find some Bargains at Goodwill--but not a great day really--shelves were well picked over--I did Buy 6 items--one is this pretty Blue arch for my Bathroom--

I had been looking for nice blue flowers for the basket--but just couldn't seem to find any anywhere--then I seen this and for only $7,it was just the right color and is sooo pretty up there--!!  Also found a large bag of all sizes of styrofoam shapes for just $7--which if I bought them it would cost a whole lot more--found 2 nice clean straw hats for a future project I am working on--and a couple other items for crafting--On the way home we stopped at Zaxby's for lunch and had a nice Chicken Sandwich!!

Got a call from the doctor's office--no broken or cracked bones in my hand or arm--it is just--  they say, Psoriatic Arthritis--yet when I look this up--it really doesn't list my type of 'pain'--So????

The rest of the week--would you 'Believe' I actually did do some sewing???

I got the flimsy done on the Truck blocks--

Lots of Blues here--the Batting and Backing is all cut--now to just Baste it together for hand quilting!

And while I had the box of Batting down--I cut batting and backing for the Woven Heart quilt--

So how it is already for Basting--

I also picked out some fabrics for 3 other projects--one is anew BOM--that I am behind on already!!!

It has Been hard to sew--I feel like a fish out of the water with the new sewing room and cutting area--so have to get used to where everything is--and --if I want to cut out anything--I have to first clean off the 'desk' stuff to find room to cut--But it will it get easier--if one 'can teach an old dog' a new layout???

On the counted cross stitch front--

I did get the first row of '3' Blocks all stitched in--

and this morning I got the 4th Block started--

And as for my project for February--National Embroidery month--I got one Block all stitched--

and have started the second Block--

But I really need to find time to hand quilt--I have several 'quilts' on the runway wanting to be able to 'take' off to the finish line!!!!

And here is a sign that was a gift from a friend--

Oh and I have a new Best Friend who watches me while at my desk--

He is just so cute and he even has a rose for me--Best Boyfriend ever!!!

Sorry my photos are not the best--I can't seem to be able to download the photos I take on a camera with the sd card--so am using my cell phone for photos--and I find editing them is hard to do!!

HAVE FUN WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL--I WILL BE WATCHING AN OLD WESTERN--MY SUPER BOWL WILL BE NEXT SUNDAY WITH NASCAR--LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!  AND DON'T FORGET TO ENJOY SOME STITCHING THIS WEEK--

LOTS OF HUGS AND SMILES--DI
