Three blog posts in one month. Wow. I am honestly shocked at myself. Trying to keep positive and attempt to do the things I love. I have been told by my Significant other that I need to make an effort to go over to my happy place. He tells me it makes a difference in me (or my level of grouchiness). I am making efforts to try and do that. Sometimes it is hard.
It seems like every day there is a new surprise. For the last few days I have been having sleeping issues. I wake up around 4 or so and off in the distance I can see light peeking over the horizon and I can not get back to sleep. It gets lighter and lighter outside and I lie awake trying to shield myself from daylight. Then I am tired later and want to do nothing. Kev’s Suggestion: “Cover the Window”. Me, “This might be only temporary. I am, not sure I should do that”. Kev,” OK, continue not sleeping. Your choice”. I hate when he makes sense.
The Whimsical Quilt – So, I finished this quilt recently. It has cute whimsical animals. I did not want to cut up some of these fabrics and lose the costumed animals. It came out OK.
It has fleece on the back. I love fleece and minky on the back of baby/toddler quilts. It makes them so soft. I have no plans for this quilt, it was just something to do. Mind you I have loads of projects half done or sort of started, but still pick up new things. At least I finished this one! Hurray for me.
What else am I working on – Of course, I have started new things. I am working on a happy Baby quilt. Nanette sent me the pattern and she is also working on one. Hers will be perfect of course. Everything she does is perfect. Pictures to come later. I am also making a Yellowstone Quilt. For those of you that watch the Yellowstone series, it is the one that Beth is wrapped up in sitting on the front porch. Simple nine-patch set on point. Pictures to come later.
The Zebra Incident – I live on a state route. Driving down the road one day, I travel a lot, in the pasture with some horses, I see a zebra. Like a real Zebra. I do a Double take and laugh to myself. I call my daughter at school and tell her about the zebra. She has that tone. That, you have lost your mind tone. So, later, when I get home, I tell Kev about the Zebra on Route 245. He rolls his eyes at me and gives me that “You are insane” look. He says to me,” There is not a Zebra on 245.” I argue, of course, but eventually, let it go and start to wonder if I have lost my mind.
A couple of days ago, I’m driving down the road with my daughter in the car and there he is. I stop the car, backed up, while my daughter is yelling at me and made her photograph the said zebra, that no one believes exists. I then proceeded to text everyone. I win. There is a zebra on 245 and I have not lost my mind.
