Monday. 6 29 09 Garden Quilt done.

What a week end. Started off Friday night with the lights going off at my friends home..SDG&E, did not get the electrical power back on until 10:30pm. Well, thank goodness we do have power, some places in the world they live by candles.

Also Friday my Pfaff creative 7570 sewing machine's computer broke and Pfaff does not make a new computer board for the machine as it is 10 years old. The thing is I pay close to $2000.00 for that machine. I had expected it would last longer than 10 years. My girl friend has the exact same machine and hers also broke right around 10 years. I went onto the internet and guess what there are a number of other people whose machines has also broke right around 10 years. Does Pfaff program their machines to brake at 10 years of age.. .?
The dealer wanted to sell me another Pfaff, no way. I have
other machines that I am now
using, and will use until they brake. What do you do with a Sewing Machine that does not work and cannot be fixed? Sell it for parts...?
Well Saturday my friend Gretchen came over and I started using my old Viking Sewing Machine, I spend the day with her sewing and end up finishing and ended up finishing another quilt top. Sometime after the beginning of the year I made a plan with myself That I would finish all my UFO's... before I started anything new. So far That is what I have been doing. It is amazing how much fabric I have. I'll never sew myself out of fabric in my life or my next life. However I am trying. Everyone I know is getting Quilts for Christmas yet again!.
San Diego, Ca. is into summer now for sure,.........Yesterday it was 85 degress in Spring Valley, CA. a east county part of San diego it promises to be that again today.

Sunday after church I went Quilt shop hoping, but only spend $12.00. I was such a good girl.
Well have a great quilting day.

Saturday June 27, 2009

I read quilt bloggs to read about quilting and quilt related things. Lately a lot of the blogs have been about every ones problems, or their travel problems. Personally I have enough problems of my own, so I really am not interested in reading about everyone problems.
What happened to quilt blogs that were about quilting?

Oh.wait, here I am talking about problems that is not related to quilting, so I think I am as guilty as everyone else. Well my friend is at the door, so................

Almost 2 months gone by

Today is june 21st, It has almost been 2 months since I have been by to sign in. I have been very busy.
I went to New york with a friend who ended up in the hospital for 7 days, I was suppost to stay with her family and ended up staying with my neice, who I raised, so it ended up that Rosie and I had great alone time together in New York. I got to see the City from a New Yorkers Point of view and went places that tourtists never get to see.
I came home from that 11 day nightmare, and got a bad cought which I still have. The doctor gave me some cought medicine, which makes me feel drunk. So no driving. What a life.
I only good thing, is that my friends continue to take care of me. Your friends make who you are.

I have continued to clean up the home from my ex's trash or rather junk he has left here. Alot goes to the goodwill, some goes to the church to the poor people. I am convinved that Americans have too much junk and extra stuff. If you need a storage to keep things... that you may never rarely use, then just get rid of it now. Someone else who is poor will want and use it.
I give alot of stuff to this church in mexico and they give it to someone who can use it.
The church probably make some money on it,...............But at least it is out of my house.

My fig tree has been in bloom and all my friends come to visit not me but that the fruit on the fig tree. I am thinking of going and buying 2 more fig trees so that I have more firiends..............?
I have one friend who comes ever morning on the way to work to get his Vitiamns, from the fruit on the fig tree, actually I do not really care, it is funny... seeing who gets here first for the morning fig......

I also resused a baby gray calico kitten, she has become ginger's baby. Ginger is my Chihuahua dog. She was also a rescue. When I got her she was so skinny and timit, she would not go near anyone. Now 4 months later she runs the house. All my other cats thinks she is one of the cats.
She plays with all the cats, but the kitten is really her baby.

Well today is sunday and i have to get really to go to church.
