Hi,
I have been on a mission to finish all my UFO'S as you already know. However, this weekend I went to a quilt shop, and since I want to finish UFO'S I have told myself no more fabric. I know quilters are addicted to fabric, i know some, not me quilters steal from quits shops. It is part of the fabric addition. Well anyway I did not, did not buy one piece of fabric, no thread, nothing, just looked. Wednesday night is the start of the San Diego Quilt show. I am not taking any credit cards with me. I just want to go look at quilts. This is the second year in a row that i have not put a single item in the quilt show. One year I put in 13 quilts. That was because the called me and said they did not have enough quilt to hang, then on the last day they got too many.
I have been swimming everyday at the Joan Kroc center in San diego, However this morning I over sleep. So not that it is 10:00 I have to get busy with other things. I'll try to go later and see if that works out.
I have one UFO on the design wall which is at a stand still. I really need to get in there today and take a look at it and finish.
Many many acts of love, and kindness, for they set the soul of fire and make it gentle.
Have a great day. Go sew.

Sept 7, 2009 Labor Day

Hi, I am still around, but have been extremely busy with everything. I started working on cleaning my side yard, one day when it was overcast and not so hot. That laste about a week (5 Days). however as all good things come to an end, so did the overcast and then it was back to over 100 degrees in Spring Valley. I am about 15- 20 miles in from the coast of San Diego, so it gets hot out here. When it got so hot we started taking everything out of my kitchen and cleaning it, that was good for a few days until we found a ant nest under the kitchen cabinets and had to wait for the pest control to come and take care of it. So I had beed doing things around the house to stay cool.
Then I made a mistake that I had said many years ago I would never do again. I loaned a "Friend" some money..... Big, Big mistake, that started a 2 week war, he understood, I do not know how, that instead of paying me back in money I would let him come over and work it off...... NO!...but in the end to keep peace I had to go with that. Sometimes I think it would actually be better to live on a island all by myself and take my quilting material and just go quilt and sew and garden and play with my pets and be happy.
Today Monday Labor Day I am having friends, other friends over to dinner, everyone is bringing something so I do not have to cook all, and promises to be fun.

Oh I forgot I started swimming again to relieve the stress from the argument about the money.
After I started swimming 2 of my girlfriends joined in so that is one nice thing.
I have to go get the patio cleaned up before it gets to hot.For the BBQ, I made shreaded pork.... uhm good.
I'll be back again. sooner that later I hope.
