I do not blog everyday like some of the quilting blogs. I have things that should get done everyday, like going to the apartment building and cleaning up trash around the building.
Everyday I do that and the next day it is back, like magic. I know I cannot complain, I am blessed to have the little extra income. It is work but I just cannot get why the people living there cannot pick up after their kids. Well that is the way it goes.
All week I have been crocheting a neck scarf to send to my niece in New York. I finished it last night and started another one in blue for her. No quilting last week. Now my friend just bought some curtains for his bedroom and wants me to come over and help him hem them. He was going to take them to the cleaners and pay them but does not feel he needs to do anything for me. Well he has been a friend for many years. but...........!

Today is the San Diego People of Color Quilt Show at 5145 Market sheet at the library there. Two of my girl friends have quilts in the show, so even if it is raining I have to go show support. Besides I donated a large bag of fabric for them to sale and make some $$ dollars for their guild.
It actually helped me, because I got to give away some fabric I probably will not use and they get to make a little money for their guild.

I put these antique blocks together last week but after I finished it I did not like that way it looks so today after I get home from the show, I am going to take them apart and do it different.

The dogs and cats in the house at looking out the door thinking what the heck is going on.
Why can we not go outside... oh.......it is raining. We are not going out in the wet, make it stop.

4 months and I still have not heard from Mr.Man, it really upset me, as I made him a great deal, paid him and he was suppost to come help me do something and then when I said OK come help me, he vaporized. That's men, or at least this one who tells me he is a good christian and reads the bible. Where in the bible does it say. "make a deal, get paid and then do not do what you said you would do...?" This is just how I feel now. So there it is.

I keep telling my self god has a plan for my life, so just keep trying over and over again.
Have a great week end.

Saturday It is Raining

My wool scarf.
It is Saturday, Gretchen is coming over and we are going to sew and paint. It is always so quiet when it rains, not many people are out moving around. I took the dogs for a walk this morning, when there was a break, they were having a great time, but all off a sudden it started pouring, I ran home, but was drenched.
I picked up my niece from the airport last night, she came in from New York. She has grown into a beautiful lady. The first thing she wanted to do when she arrived in Southern California from New York City was go to A real Mexican restaurant. In New York the Mexican Restaurants are do not know how to make food like they do here in San Diego.

Saturday afternoon I worked more on my crocheting. I have been making a wool scarf.
I also found this great yarn at the thrift store, When I was at Jo Ann's I price it and it was much less expensive at the thrift store, so today I am going to go back and see if it is still there.
If I can not sleep I get up and crochet for a while and them I can go back to sleep.

Today I am suppost to go to dog park with the dogs. I am meeting my friend Dy there, she has a pug and I have little chi's.
I also tried to do a different layout on a quilt but it did not come out well, so today, this afternoon I am going to take it apart and start over. What a drag.
Well have a great day.
