Hmmmm there seems to be a pattern emerging here - posting about once a month. I really wish I would do better, but I just don't seem to find the time or want to do it; however, right now I have nothing but time on my hands because I am sick with the flu. This has forced me to a "do nothing" few days (at least I hope it will only last for a few days). Well that was wishful thinking - I haven't even had the energy to type or think. I swear it was not until today that I actually feel like my brain is functioning. So the update on "the flu" is that I got the swine flu and have never been so sick in my life. I do believe that my fever finally broke and I am on the road to recovery (please God).
My main concern right now is getting my energy and stamina back to be able to do the SF Ghost Hunt Walking Tour, which Debby has scheduled for us to do on this coming Saturday. We have all been wanting to do it for quite some time and it should be really fun (providing I can breath).
I am sure there is no way I will be able to remember what has happened in the month I have been gone. I did have a good time with my sister Joy visiting. Joy, Kathy and I hit the quilt show two days and spent MUCH money and bought some beautiful stuff. Kathy decided that she would try quilting and I promised her "IF" she did not like quilting I would make all her projects for her. This last week she actually made her first quilt top that turned out really beautiful. I don't have a picture of it, but I will post one later. I am going to do the quilting for her (I don't want to frustrate her too much trying to do it on her machine). We had a good time "playing" together and she is a quick learner (she has much sewing experience and is very precise which helps with with quilting).
In the process of getting ready to help Kathy learn quilting I ended up with two more quilt tops. I have a large "cheater quilt" on my frame that I am practicing on to try different things. I was having a great time with that and then getting knocked on my butt with the flu and left that untouched for almost two weeks! I have to get that done and off the frame so I can get some of these tops that are stacking up taken care of. I do know Kathy is anxious to actually have a completed quilt in her hands too.
Ummmm what else? Oh yeah - I ended up packing up my stupid sewing machine and sending it back to the factory. They seriously have to get it right this time! They have had it since 11/4 and I am choosing to take that as a positive sign that are COMPLETELY going through the thing and don't darn send it back unless it works PERFECTLY! Of course I am not holding my breath on that one.
Well yesterday I thought I was heading back to a real life, but today - not so much. I feel like I am catching a fricking cold - ah go figure! Perhaps I am just letting go of some of the mucus that has been collecting. I am taking medication to break up the congestion in my chest and I think I am stretching my wishful think about as far as I can go. The whole SF trip is not looking good so good at this point
Anyway, I think it is time for me to hit the publish button and send this on it's way.
Later . . .
