One last day of this table, but I love it. I have had a couple questions, the table is all two by fours and a 3/4 inch plywood top. Husband and I moved through the pile of both the two by fours (need to be straight) and plywood(perfect grain pattern)
They (workers) will look at you, watch and NEVER help. AND I am VERY fine with that. Better to leave me ALONE. We always put everything back on the racks. The cost for both the plaid walls and table just about 300.
This table is 77 inches long, 36 inches wide and 32 inches high ! It’s a beast. I LOVE IT and My Sewing room is DONE???
It has been a VERY long bit. I am trying to be back, my Mom is in her ninth week of rehab. and I’m just about….done. I will share more when it’s possible and when I have the were about me to do it.
Husband said last Friday night, “Grab your camera and let’s go see the Clydesdales” We drove down, pulled in, parked in the first row, walked around the corner AND

I hadn’t felt well for days. Thank you Budweiser Clydesdales, “That’s Second to None.”
I hope you enjoyed the Month of Augusts FREE quilt patterns. It was a huge project and I don’t think I will be doing that anytime soon again.

I always have a VERY well outlined plan and this past month blow that to crap. My mom fell and broke her right femur 13 cm, one plate and ten screws later. Five days in the hospital and now in full time rehab, no weight on her right leg for six weeks. She pretty much is done, she had very little strength before the fall and now….it’s up to her and her spirit how much she will regain. And probably me?
All the emotions can be seen on my face, I am exhausted, have done
nothing I want or like to do and when I do have time….I just can’t seem to do it??? In my wimpy voice, “I didn’t get the book done I wanted, I didn’t get any art started for the holiday’s and the most important I’m not swimming every day.” I, I, I……
So for the next little bit, I’m going to just be ! I need to get myself together !Please take a moment and look around my quilt pattern shop. Now it the time to start a new quilt !
I have to do different things in quilting to keep it interesting to me. This is one of my little quilt patterns, finished size two inches by two inches.
3 Dark 1 3/8″ X 1 3/8 ” 3 White 1 3/8″ X 1 3/8 ” Make triangles
It’s a FULL MOON kind of day here at my house??? NUTS is running around the house trying to find HIS cars keys??? Full moon kind of day…I am just staying OUT of it here at my computer. HA !!
Nothing makes be happier than a RED, WHITE and BLUE Quilt. I have made a lot of them over the years here are a FEW
This is one of the very first little quilts I ever made, machined pieced and hand quilted. Some of the stars are not perfect, but I love this little quilt. Finished size is eighteen inches by eighteen inches.
This is one of those, “What was I thinking?” quilts I have…. Machine pieced and I hand quilted. Each log cabin strip was cut at one inch by one inch. Finished quilt is twenty inches by twenty inches.
Long ago, when Husband was working, I had VERY long holiday weekends. This quilt was the result of a VERY long 4th of JULY in Nebraska. I hate of say, “It’s not quilted….Yet?” Machine pieced !
Hope you have a GREAT HOLIDAY, Please be SAFE, and KIND to EVERYONE ! !
I love taking pictures. I have taken classes, shot thousands of pictures, joined a group and just jumped in with two feet. I tried a couple competitions, but my skin wasn’t too thick. I took a year off and today I sent in digital prints, these photo’s here were close but didn’t make the cut…..I have no idea why, I think it’s at the moment kind of thing, but I really like these too.

To all the Father’s, I hope you have a wonderful Day. I know Husband here is HAVING a GREAT time.
Can you see the Horse here in a wave? From our trip to the ocean the other day. I only have to be asked once to go sit in the sand and just watch nature. The wind and wave made for some great spray. I just waited and this was one of MANY shots.
My Great-Great Grandmother’s QuiltThis quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it by, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it. I never met her and my mom only remember’s helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright, but the Florida sun won on these photo’s.
Well, here I go again, the pounds are coming back on?? I love it here in Florida, Husband’s home and so many things to do, BUT, I LOVE to go out to eat TOO ! I think I have shared before… here I go again !
This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein to keep me moving a bit longer.
3 chicken breast, in a pot with about 6 cups of water.

3 Green Onions Chopped
3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro

2 – 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like

Suggestions
When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it’s wonderful.
Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don’t want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
This is a make it your own soup.
We eat this year round, mostly I think because it’s a great solo-lunch for me.
It’s very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.
