The wind was blowing pretty good today and is supposed to get a lot stronger through the night.  All the pretty orange and gold leaves are off my maple tree outside my sewing room window. 

I went grocery shopping today and picked up a rotisserie chicken boy it tasted good tonight and I have a drumstick and thigh for George's lunch tomorrow.   I'm going to make a mostocholi casserole tomorrow with the leftover turkey breast.  I'll make enough for us and the kids, they have a dinner to go to tomorrow but they can heat it up Wed.

I filled out my absentee ballot today so need to get that out for the mailman tomorrow.  I also have to box up 5 ornament blocks I've made for a swap tomorrow, going to add a little treat for the hostess of the swap.  She's a Star Wars geek and I found cookie cutters and cupcake papers with Star Wars designs on for her.

Well it's jammie time here and watch the football game then beddy bye.

Here are 2 kits I've finished in Oct. 2012, con't like the daisy pillow case but it is what it is.  Not doing it over. 

I've started working on my kit stash, going to get them done or give them away.  Have to decide which ones I like and which ones I don't care for and re-purpose the latter.  It's time to purge my kits, fabrics and books again.  Make room to buy more.  LOL

Went to a pet store with Emily last week and saw 2 puppies ythat stole my heart but George won't relent.  I'm so sad, I so would enjoy the company of a pet but it's not to be I guess.

Like these and I bet I could make them from stash fabric.

Had a lousy day yesterday, could only see shadows and outlines.  Very frustrating and depressing.  I did work on my daisy petals only to find out the pattern/instructions were wrong so have to figure out a solution.  I think I may just have to trim them down and  do needle turn applique. 

Today was a much better day, I went to the dentist for a cleaning, I have a small cavity and then to exercise.  I have to get to exercise more consistently, I feel so good after I'm done.

Then I came home to try and salvage the daises, think I've fixed the problem.  Petal pattern way too big for the background piece.  So I started trimming them down and pressing under the raw edge for needle turn applique.

Well a Bulls game is on so I'm going to sign off and watch some basketball with George.

Yup I've been this tired.

Such a sweet block.
