Our Booth at KS Quilt Show

  Today was the Krotz Springs Quilt Show and we had a blast! We had a booth of quilted and non-quilted items that got some attention. 

My Son-In-Law enjoying Bikini Quilt

There were quilts of every size, color combination, and shape. Dorothy, DD#1, won a door prize but I have forgotten what she won. Pam, BFF, won a carry basket with pockets that were filled with fat quarters. I won a disk from Fabric Crazy to embroider Christmas stockings.
   I got to meet my blogging friends, Glen and her DH,Frank, from QuiltSwissy at Quilts and Dogs. It was like meeting an old friend for the first time. But I think that Frank was a little disappointed that we talk more about our pets than husbands! Neither of us thought to take a photo but she has emailed me and invited me to a retreat next weekend to work on UFOs and DH told me to go! I will be taking lots of pictures to share. Maybe even a couple of shots of "DeNose."

Finding Nemo

  Dorothy finished quilting and surprised me by binding my One Wonderful Fabric Quilt called "Finding Nemo aka Where Did the Quilting Go?" It hasn't got a home yet but I was thinking of using it as my second charity quilt. Guess who claimed it - DH, the quilt hoarder!
   Today I start the prep for the procedure I am having done on Monday. The prep is worse than the procedure! Hopefully there won't be any pollocks to remove and nothing serious to be found.  Tuesday & Wednesday I plan to stay home and pack what I will need for the retreat. Thursday, I have an appointment with personal trainer at 7am, a sew day with friends in Lafayette from 9am to 2pm, and the July Krewe of Quilters meeting/picini at 6pm. I may stay at DD#1's house that night and go from there to retreat house on Friday night. That will depend on how DH's hand is doing. I may be bringing him to doctors' on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. Life changes quickly around here! Never a dull empty moment! LOL
Lator Gators! May all the fabric you need appear in your stash BEFORE you need it. Keep 2011 STRESS FREE!

Last Wednesday we left and drove to Abita Springs and camped until Monday morning. The grandchildren came visit on Saturday and had a blast. All I did was read and rest and sew on sleeves. All in all it was a great week after the month we have had.
   Today, I went to the doctor to get the results of test he ran on my thyroid. I have been trying to control those levels for about 12 years now but it is beginning to get the best of me. It seems it is enlarged but three doctors can't tell from the scans if it is the para thyroid or the thyroid that is the problem. The para thyroid controls calcium levels in the body and mine are fine. So the doctors decided no biopsy but blood tests each month to check levels and another scan in 6 months unless something begins to bother me. 
   Thursday, I go to another doctor to get ready to run more test on another part of my anatomy. It seems that from the waist to the knees is wearing out and from the head to the chest is wearing out. The middle is just fine.Oh, well at least our accountant won't be fussing about our lack of deductions this year. Got to find the bright side to things!
  Saturday is the Krotz Springs Quilt Show and it promises to be a hooting good time. Those cajun ladies sure know how to throw a party. I will have a table to sell some of my daughter's crafts.
   I got excited when I saw the number that Judy L picked for the UFO challenge. It was #2 Big Mike's Jacket and I do mean BIG...size 4XL. Now I haven't finished/worked on UFO's in the last 4 months but this one will definitely be worked on. 
Well, lator Gators! May all the fabric you need find its way into your stash before you need it! Keep 2011 STRESS FREE!
