Wednesday Work

Yesterday I proved to myself that I should not go back to bed after Ernie leaves. I wake up feeling like I have a hang over which I haven't had in so many years that I can't remember when it was. (One of those life lessons.) It seems like everything I did turned out wrong. I made a backing for the Framed 9 Patch quilt top and when I was finished and folding, it looked wrong. I measured it and yikes!!! Who read that tape measure?? I walked away.

When I went outside to do some things, I locked the door. Why? I don't know! After the panic was over, I went to the front door and it was unlocked. Time to hide a key outside. I hope I can remember where I hide it. Later in the day, I was reaching for a jar of brown sugar, dropped it and broke it all over.  See what I mean!!  About the only thing I did right yesterday was make a good dinner-if you don't count the under seasoned rice. 

This morning I decided to get an early start on things.  I went in to the sewing room and fixed the backing. I then pieced some batting scraps.  Next I decided how I want to quilt this and wrote it on my note for this quilt. I pulled out my threads and wound some bobbins.  It is now ready for the basting table later today.

Binding Friends has been cancelled for today. BooHiss.  I decided I need to go to Costco and this would be a good day since I had already planned to be gone.  My list is ready.  Now I need to get ready.

It's 8 am here and this has already been a good Wednesday Work day. Let's all cross our fingers that it continues to be.

Photo Play

I wanted to create a collage header for my blog and didn't have a clue how to start. Until yesterday! While cruising through Blogland, I read somewhere and gosh I wish I could remember where, that you can create a collage with Picasa Web Albums. I downloaded the program-free of course-and started playing. Thanks to whoever posted that.

Last night I created the new header and a collage for my computer background full of family faces. This morning I spent some time organizing some folders and created this for my 100 Blocks so far. But really I want to sit here and play--I think I see a chicken collage turned into a poster...........

But now I must get in there and get the next block finished so I can be up to date and work towards being ahead.

More Changes

Would ya look at me! I guess playing on the computer instead of folding laundry is paying off. I can add a picture! Now I need to learn how to make the picture the way I want it and to change the title font and color....... And I added a visitor counter. I'm not sure if I want to know how many people visit me or not but it's interesting for right now.

My dad is here visiting with Ernie so I better take the time to do a few things that I need to do without being interrupted.
