OH-DEAR ME--

 I had plans and photos for last Sunday's post and that didn't  happen--so I thought--OK--I will do one on Monday afternoon----well maybe I can do it Tuesday--and that is how the whole week went---tomorrow--tomorrow-----

I did a big shopping trip on Monday--Tuesday was an doctor appointment and it was the second one with a new doctor--but --ended up seeing someone else in the office and she was rude --and more than rude to me--and this office-- in the two visits have managed to mess up 2 of my 3 medications for high blood pressure--( and they won't fix it or they keep sending it to the wrong pharmacy--grrrr) yep--inherited my Dad's high blood pressure--I try to stay calm--but especially these days--that is not easy--!!! I will not be going back to this doctor!!  And Wednesday and Thursday both were shopping trips with a friend on the bus--and then on Friday I did do some sewing and some prep work for a couple projects--Saturday--I spent half a day repotting all my new plants and a couple of the older ones--I make my own soil mixture--so that takes time--and then we won't even mention the mess I made and had to clean up--but I like to think my 'plants' are so much happier now and appreciate what I did for them!!!!

So if I had posted last week-here is the photos--

Oh and the week before was busy tooo-- with some Birthday celebrating--

The Cross stitch bird book is all about birds--one side of the page has information and the words in black are the words you look for in the puzzle!!

Gifts from my daughter--one of these was for Easter and one was for my birthday-and this one--

and this one was for Mother's day--

She also sent me '2' gift cards for shopping at Publix grocery store--

My son and daughter in law--took me out to eat at Red Lobster for my birthday and Mother's Day--

of course I got lots of 'shrimp'--yummy--and even got a slice of their chocolate wave cake--oh my--it is so yummy--but I am a good girl and do not eat it all at once--I eat a little each day for at least '2' days!!

They gave me a Visa card and this gift--

This is a kit and my little gnome has a hat for each holiday and something different on her front for each one--I love playing with 'toys'!!!!

She is on my door on one side and right now this is on the door next to her--

Back to sewing--

Where I left off last week--

and I got to this point on the Orange Peel--sal--had to think about where I wanted to go with this??

Picked this quilt to do the hand quilting on next--and did get it started--

Another little sweater was finished--

And a couple shopping items--

the first one is from JoAnn's sale and second one I found at Aldi's for only $4 and it heavy and is actually a bird house for outside--

Think I know what colors I am going to paint these!!!

I also redid the bedroom wall that week--

Along with doing over part of the china cabinet and my shadow box--

This week I have worked on these projects--

Got the extra block finished for display that Melisa gave us last year--

And I decided I wanted to make my orange peel piece a bit larger as I will use it for a table cover on my round table--so I cut and sewed another row of 5" blocks all around the first set--and last night I got 2 more peels appliqued on--I do needleturn applique!

And here is where I am on the Grandmother Flower blocks between the last 2 weeks--

six are done-how many more to go???????????????

And a gift to me from a gift card from my girl-friend, --

And yes--I do have a plan for this jelly roll--but first I have to do my Chookshed challenge!!!

WELL--I GUESS I GOT EVERYONE ALL CAUGHT UP ON MY GOINGS AND DOINGS!!

WHAT ARE YOU A DOIN??????

OH AND OUR HEAT HERE IN  FLORIDA HAS HIT--SO WE ARE IN SUMMER MODE ALREADY--

KEEP COOL AND KEEP ON SMILING AND LAUGHING--IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!!

HUGS, DI
