Ott Light

As Tuxedo tummy tanner.
This Kitten is totally soaking up the rays while using my yo-yo jar as a foot rest.
Too tired to play anymore.
Sleeping with the scissor.
Sweet little face.
Oh, whatever will we work on?

I really won something; how cool is that?

Wow, look!  I won this lovely book and batik fabrics from Kim at Magnolia Bay Quilts. Her blog and quilts are amazing, but I especially love her kitty, since it reminds me of mine.
This book has some great quilts in it, so I am really enjoying it.

I purchased these two books this week, and I am not as jazzed up about them.  They are okay though. That's what happens when you order online without having a chance to flip through it first.
And this book FINALLY came!  Oh some much good stuff in this one.  It will be a most useful addition to my technique bookshelf.

I am heading to Kansas City later this week for the Quilt Guild of Greater Kansas City workshops with Roberta Horton and Mary Mashuta.  Oh, man, I am so excited about going!  Plus I will be with Mom!  Bonus!  But today I am feeling all poorly.  Like I have a mild flu.  So I have been sleeping all day.  I sure don't feel much like sewing.  And that stinks!

OH BOY OH BOY

This guy is 30 (on April 18)
From sitting in a dryer,
To putting out fires,
A Mom couldn't ask for a better son!
You got all grown before I had a chance to finish this quilt for your twin bed:
But I promise once you get in your new house, I will get right on that black and red quilt you've requested.
Happy Birthday Eron!
I just need to stay away from new projects like the one I worked on today:

But it GOES with my QUILT!


I rarely get a chance to go to the mall.  You know, that dollar-sucking asphalt adornment called Mall of Georgia?  Well, today I had to run an errand to Dick's to return that way-too-expensive-tennis-dress-I-will-never-wear. So I started at Dillards 'cause I could maybe find a decent pair of shoes while I was at the mall, when all of sudden I spied this perfume at 70% off! AND it goes with my quilt!
SEE?
That was the end of my quick errand.  
I decided I needed some cheerful spring items.
I now consider myself updated for spring.  I still need shoes though, oh, and that tennis dress?  Maybe I will wear it when I play (greased up with sunscreen) on Sunday.
 I forgot to mention, the other reason (besides the tennis dress) that I was near the mall.  My car failed its emission test, so I had to take said car in for repair.  Something called "third cylinder misfire."  At least I can smile about my cute purse when I am pulling my credit card out to pay the dealership for fixing whatever is wrong that they didn't catch when they did the 60,000 mile check up last month. 
(And there went the tax refund.)
I am staying home tomorrow (except for collecting the car).  I save money that way.
