The birds are in the yards singing, the sun has broke through and life is good. I have been spring cleaning, yesterday I worked for 5 hours in the washing room and put in a new chrome storage rake. I got most of the room reorganized, took some stuff to amvets and was totally exhausted.
I have not had a minute to sew all week. I just got this spring cleaning bug under my skin. Too much stuff in my house I never use. I think watching the Hoarders show on TV got to me. I am no way anywhere near to that, but my home could be alot nicer.
I got really inspired when I saw (scroll down).Bonnie Hunter's orphan block quilt I want to take all my blocks and do something like that also. You can believe me when I say I have more orphan blocks that I know what to do with. I had finished 10 quilts, well finished the tops and have been stacking them up so get quilted. If I had a house cleaner and a gardener and a pet sitter, a cook, and a personal assistant, I could just stay in the house all day and sew and sew. But I have to continue on with life's joys. The dogs want to go out and I have to get dressed. So I say to you, look at life as the glass is half full. Have a great day.

Friday March 12, 2010 Lifes getting back to normal

Today is Friday. My life is getting back to normal. It has taken a lots of months to not feel so bad about Mr. Man. I always have to remind myself that if he needed something so much he had to steal, then let him have it and forget about it. "What goes around comes around"!. No more men in my life!. I have to be a lot more careful with these charmers. These Husserl's.....etc

I have been going out with my friends to dinner and doing lots of fun activity things also. I registered for a bridge class, met some nice ladies in the class. Today i have a job interview for a part time job. It is 21 miles away from where I live, but as my friend tells me, it is hard to hire a senior person who can only work part time. Also I have a income restriction from Social Security. They will only let me earn so much cash before they take away in SS benefits. I want to work part time to put a little normalness in my life and would like a little extra cash. It would be nice to find a job closer to home, but it has not worked out that way.
I have been sewing alot, and almost finished another 2 quilt tops. Yes I am still on the UFO Train.
I also got my finger nails fixed and my hands look and feel alot better.
Again I tell you "True friends are the ones who stay by your side when you are up or are down."
I have to run and get dressed. Have a great day.

Monday Rainy Day March 8, 2010

Hi,
It is really pouring rain here and my animals again are hesitant to venture out into the world. I have not been a good blogger. I get busy with things and then let blogging go by the wayside.
I did however go on the San Diego quilt run on Saturday and spent way too much cash on material. Schick quilt buying quilt fabric when you do not need any needs to be started to us fabric addictions.

But Rosie's Quilt Shop in San Diego always has an employee stash sale during the San Diego Quilt run.
We here in San Diego Ca. are really blessed to have such a great quilt shop. She has about 10,000 bolts of fabric and the best employees working there. I have been trying to sew my self out of my quilt room for years and I think I am finally getting somewhere. Actually this is the first time in a very long time I have bought any large amount of fabric.
My new dell computer has been back in the shop again. I spend over an hour talking to dell on the phone this morning telling them I wanted to return the computer, but since it is paid for I will not get any of my money back. I will never buy another dell computer. I have to admit I used to like my old dell maybe it is the new operating s system, but I am over dell now!.

Compact computer is another bad one. I have a friend Mike at Central Sewing in El Cajon Ca.
He told me the next time I get ready to buy a computer to let him know and he will help me. Well it is 9:20 am here in San Diego Ca. and I still have not got dressed so I have to run along.
