About my header
My shed is my header by my son Darrell, He painted the Robin for me and said that it reminded him of me. Because Robins use other birds nest and if there is an egg in it, they will take care of it just like its their own. He said thats what I do, I have always taken care of others in need of a home when I come across someone in need. Isnt that Sweet, I had told him I wanted a bird and this is the one he chose. Robins have solid blue eggs which are the symbols for him and his brothers and the speckled egg are the others I have taken into my home. It was very touching to me because he researched his piece, He is a true artist and has lots of great jobs. my neighbor had hers done to

I AM NOT EVEN SHOWERING TODAY JUST SEWING
Just leaving my Pj's on and all I am doing is Quilting !!! I love these Days. Keep the lights low, My Hubby turns every light in the house on. Maybe some music later to remind myself that I am not locked up. Eat whatever is in the fridge which is Velveta and Blue Bell ice cream, thats ok with me ! I made a promise to myself today to finish two Baby Quilts ! I finished my little projects yesterday. One is my Bow Tie Modern Quilt Block , Mini Scrappy Quilt Blocks, and my Zakka sew along Pot Holder.

Panic Attack
My Sewing scissors were missing, they are a Quilty pleasure, especially for arthritis hands, they spring back, sharp points ( better than any seam ripper) small handle, light weight, cost under $10.00 for small size & they come in a large size. Buy you a pair, Your worth it! I found them, whew!
Work in progress
I got my Fat Quarter order today, all the beautiful Kona solids & dahlia print by Ty Pennington! I just need a new blade & my Master project will began. Glazing & refurbishing a few pieces too, I can't stop thinking of the beach & the summer colors and crisp white, have a great summer Day!
