I guess you can teach an old
dog new tricks...LOL

PAY IT FORWARD

I was visiting my friend Elaine's blog and saw that she was doing the ultimate... a "pay it forward" exchange based on the concept from the movie "Pay It Forward" where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipient of the act of kindness will in turn pass it on.

So here is how it works... I will make and send 3 homemade gifts to the first three people who leave a comment on this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know yet what my gift will be but it will be especially made for you!

What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

I am really looking forward to creating something special for the first 3 people who leave a comment on this blog. This is exciting , don't you think?

SHOPPING LATE AT NIGHT

I am doing the INKLINGO SAMPLER and as you know enjoying it thoroughly. To that end.....

Last night around 10 PM, I dragged Charlie to Barnes and Noble to look at books with traditional blocks. I found a few. I bought the Civil War Diary Quilt. My children are now living in Columbia, South Carolina, and some of the diaries were from there. The book can be totally made with INKLINGO!

I think Sarah and Rebecca will enjoy the book. They love walking around their town and looking at historic sites, now they will have more to research. They also love sewing with Grandma...could I ask for more?

INKLINGO BLOCK #4

This is the forth week of doing the sampler and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying it. This one was a bit of a problem, not the INKLINGO, but the fabric. I found that it shredded a bit while sewing. These are all quilt shop quality fabrics, but some of them have a looser weave with thicker threads. I just got up to check...it's a Moda Fabric that I bought as a bundle of FQ's. I love the fabrics, so I guess I will just have to take more care and not do it in a block that has 2" HST's

More INKLINGO

Here is a bonus block for the Inklingo Sampler। I think I want to make the extentions for the
6 inch block in green to match the leaves.

Saw that my friend Elly had joined the BOW with Tilde. How could I not keep her company. Here are the first 2 blocks.
Tilde will post a new one every Friday...until she gets bored.
These are not the best pictures...new camera ;-}

Inklingo

Spent yesterday destroying 2 printers printing out 25 sets of 5 of the FREE Lemoyne Star INKLINGO. Have 1 set left to do before I can send it off to Cathi for the swap. Charlie fixed the printers. It seems you really should trim off the threads...LOL
Went for dinner with friends, then watched a Clive Owens movie from Netflix.
Yesterday is over.
Set alarm clock so I would be able to say goodbye, have a great summer, to Bex and Sarah and Jackie. Jackie takes off from her real job and works at the camp. I then went back to sleep.

July 1 to July 9, 2009

July 1
Flight from Hell. Sat in Ft. Lauderdale Airport for 6 hours waiting to take an hour and 20 minute flight...another 2 hours and I could have driven...LOL!
My son-in-law, David, picked me up after midnight. By the time we drove to his house it was around 1 AM. We were suppose to have dinner at 6:15. Maybe we will have breakfast this morning at 6:15.
July 2 and 3
Spent the day at the pool with Rebecca and Jackie
July 4 and 5
Went to Myrtle Beach and had a wonderful time with Rebecca and Jackie.
David and Sarah went to Boone, NC. Rock climbing, hicking, and white water rafting.
Had dinner in the hotel resturant on the ocean and we were treated to a wonderful fireworks display.
Sleep, breakfast and back to the beach. All in all a wonderful time.
July 6 and 7
At home Charlie took my daughter Michele for a Birthday dinner and to the movies.
Back in SC, Rebecca, Sarah and I went out for lunch, did a little shopping and bought supplies to craft for the next 2 days. We also celebrated David's and Sarah's birthdays and Rebecca's UN-birthday.
July 8
We finished up the crafts and lounged around waiting for Jackie to take me out to dinner and to the airport. Twenty minutes later we were boarding and airborne.
Charlie looks wonderful and it is great to be home.

PACKING...YUCK

Packing might be the worst thing in the world. The airline wanted to charge $30.00 a bag IN EACH DIRECTION, on a $18.00 flight. What's wrong with this picture???
All of our luggage is heavy without anything in it, and travelling alone I need something I can lift. So off we went to Macy's where they were almost paying you to take it out of the store...LOL. I got 2 pieces, small rolling duffle and a large tote. Both of these items, together, are lighter than any one piece in the closet. All in all I paid $100.oo plus tax for $500.00 worth.
Now the fun part...Although I live in Florida, I don't have a bathing suit.
I tried on many, either they were too long, too short, too tight or too big, and all the same size. I walked away with nada. Found a 10 year old suit from when I lived on the beach, a little "snug" (much nicer than tight) but it will do. So now I am ready for the trip. Whatever I don't have I can do without.

June 29, 2009

Well, it seems my travelling is not done for the summer. I got the "grandmother" call. I leave Wednesday for Columbia, SC. Jackie, Rebecca and I will be going to the beach, staying at a hotel and having manicures and pedicures. These are Rebecca's requests. What's a grandmother to do...LOL
The weather in sunny South Florida has been anything but, rain and thunder every day. Bex (Rebecca's nick name) said it is beautiful in SC.

Here it is 3:10 in the afternoon and all I accomplished was going to a Weight Watchers meeting. Let's hear it for 2 pounds down. Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!!

I am now going to finish a Basketcase block that I started in New York. NOT getting up until I finish, yah right . Will post when I am done.

There really is nothing else to do today, it's has been raining all day. We really need it down here, Okeechobee is way down.
