Monsters ON the bed! Almost!

This is the close up scan that I used for the applique in the center...
Isn't he cute?


The tiny bit I had left over after the borders and the Beauty corner blocks....

The before sewing the borders on and the bubbles in the border...I'll have to add those later after I charge the battery on the camera....

Working on getting this bugger finished...

I am having fun and of course... there was no plan...

Why do I do this to myself?

I guess that is just the way my poor little brain works...

It might be so much easier to actually have a plan, pattern something when I start... but it just never works out that way, and I do get some very unusual quilts that way....

It is good to be quilting again...

I am even somewhat enjoying it again....

Except to the killer hand pain from the rotary cutter....

and the back pain from my poor posture...

Gawds! I need to get back into quilting shape!

Quick to the bat cave!

I'm going to go and do the quilting workout!

The almost finished top!

Sorry for the crappy pictures...DD used the camera and of course left the batteries totally dead!

I'll add the other pictures later when it's alive again....

Facebook, It's Ironic

I have been trying to be good...really...

I had Carpel Tunnel surgery about three weeks ago...The doctor did a really fabulous job...It already looks better than the right hand that I had done in 2007 by a very excellent Mayo Clinic doctor...

But, I was ordered not to do much...

No walking, or going to the gym, no knitting, sewing, lifting...no no no........

So for the most part I have been good... I did sew two little dresses for the DGD and some other minor sewing repairs...but I have been trying to be good. I was getting the DGD ready for bed the other night, and went into her room to get her pajamas, didn't turn the light on and....

caught my foot on the edge of a little piece of slick plastic mat for her play dough...I tried to do the splits, which I was never good at in the best of times, slid my foot into the wood frame of the bed, slammed my knee on the ground. and smashed my hip and elbow (the right side) against the bed as well...

I somehow managed not to break anything...I got a sever scolding from my PCP and a few of the nurses that have known me for years....and was told again not to do anything....

These people don't know me....

I can only take so much TV and sitting around...

So I got the laptop and settled myself into the bedroom...

I spent the day surfing, and looking up bizarre things, and watching Youtube and reading instrucables....

Then there was Facebook...

I have started getting into it about a month ago, but haven't done much with it....

Till yesterday...

I went searching for people that I knew, and tried to figure out how things worked....

Anyway. I was doing something and there was this IQ challenge...So I figured that I could do that and not embarrass myself too much...took the quiz, sailed through it... no problem... now to the Ironic part....

I aced the quiz, not once, but three times, all with different questions, some of them were even hard... all three times, I got a perfect score, and good time....

I couldn't figure out how to post my dang perfect scores without signing up for the $9.95 monthly fee associated with the test....

I guess that it doesn't matter much...

BTW, I got a 147 on my Facebook IQ test....

It's a few points down from what my official test is, but I never saw much use for that one either...It doesn't really accurately measure your intellect or your abilities to function in real life....

I just thought it was funny, and it did make my friend Linda laugh....

Spring is almost here!

I know some of you think I'm nuts...
So don't agree with me too fast on that one...
But I was looking at the sky and the trees and thinking that spring was definitely on it's way...
That was a few weeks ago...
It is here, and as much as I look forward to spring and Easter...
It is just a reminder that the dreaded heat is on it's way and I'd better enjoy the weather while I can....
I do so love it when the trees star to bud, and the desert smells so wonderful in March and May...
