I'm Back!

I'm back. When I looked at my blog, I couldn't believe it has been a month since I posted anything. I got busy. When you aren't smoking, you have to piddle. So I got to spring cleaning - and I mean extreme spring cleaning. Cleaning windows, taking down drapes, moving all the furniture, cleaning carpets, spackling nail holes, touch-up painting, planting flowers and tomatoes. I really thought I was either pregnant (I was nesting!) or getting ready to die (I have horrors of EMTs having to come into a nasty, upkept bedroom to pronounce me dead.) And, although I can wear maternity clothes very comfortably - and fill them out, I'm not pregnant. And, I'm still alive and kicking. So I guess it was just energy you get when your lungs can be filled with oxygen!!

You can see by the picture that the hobby room is organized! All the rulers had to be at the same height and I filled in all the nail holes I had left previously. And the material on the shelves is destined for new projects.
This is a quilt I am making for myself from scraps from all my projects so I can sleep under good memories of the people I made quilts for. It is ready to be quilted.

This is part of the quilt I am making for Annie and John. Eventually it will be a king-size quilt so it is being quilted as I go. And though it looks pinkish in the picture, it is beige.


This is another scrap quilt I am making out of two and a half inch squares. The quilt is called Chiclets - I found it on line.
So, for those of you who have let me know you are concerned, I am just fine. Walking Lucilu every morning - thank goodness warm weather is here finally. One of the sayings Vicki sent me recently said - "I like to walk because that's the only time I hear heavy breathing now." So true!
I have been doing the rounds of the doctors - each part of your body has a specialist to see about it. So far we have the heart - still more tests to do, the teeth, the feet, the boobs, the skin, the eyes, and parts unrecognizable!!! So far I'm just fine - "for a woman of a certain age"!!
