My GranCat, Lady Elizabeth. She is a little out of sorts today because she has an appointment with the vet. Hopefully she will allow more attractive pictures before she goes home
DH had his breakfast and is at work. The dishwasher and laundry have both been rebooted. Elizabeth (DD's cat) is on the sun porch waiting for her doctor appointment. I have a list of questions for him. Merlin is not happy that another cat is in the house. He won't leave my side. He has even been attempting to help me with the computer mouse. I made lunch for DH before he left and sent him off with a nice cup of hot tea. I am looking forward to getting a accomplished today.
DH and I just finished supper. A thunder storm went through and I enjoyed listening to the rain fall. DH is now playing a computer game and I am going to clean up the kitchen. More to follow later.
2:00 am and all is well. DH has and appointment this morning and one of the girls in the youth group is coming over. I am going to help her come up with a formal for the big event on Sunday. I am looking forward to spending time in the Sitting Room today, hopefully I can finish putting things away and get to work on my many projects. I have five blocks ready to work on when I sit downstairs with DH.
The morning is starting out well. DH's lunch is packed and he had a good breakfast. The dishwasher is running and the laundry is rebooted. Today's tasks include completing the home blessing, washing the yo-yo quilt and spending time in the Sitting Room. I have several boxes that I need to go through. More to come.
Today has been quite a busy day. I spent most of the day running errands. I got the grocery shopping done. When I got home I spent some time in my Sitting Room. I prepared both heart squares and calico garden squares to work on while DH watches tv. We had homemade pizza for supper tonight. His lunch is prepared for tomorrow, chicken salad and crackers and a snack for later. Since it hasn't rained yet DH is mowing the lawn. I am looking foward to our time together this evening. The coffee pot is set up for tomorrow and the kitchen is already cleaned. I will feed Earl and Winnie while he works on the yard so he doesn't have that to worry about. Over all, it has been a good day and I look forward to the evening and tomorrow.
DH is off to work this morning. I got up and cooked his breakfast. His lunch was packed last night. The dishwasher is empty and the laundry rebooted. I have an appointment this morning and then look forward to time in my Sitting Room. I picked out the squares I wanted to prep last night and plan to work on that today. More to follow later.
While my Sitting Room is still very much a work in progress, it has come a long way. These pictures show the color to a better advantage. I have a view from the windows of our beautiful magnolias. We still have more shelves to hang so the current shelves won't look so cluttered. We have an Advisory Board Meeting this afternoon so I will posst more later.

Well we had a very busy day today. The Sitting Room is finally painted. I still have to apply glaze later. Pictures are attached.
I am currently working on my sewing room. I am in the process of painting the walls and will apply a glaze coat later. As soon as I finish the base coat I will post pictures.
I recently spent a couple of weeks with my Mom, Dad, and Honey (my dogster). While I was there we took a class on applique. I have started a Calico Garden Quilt. I am having a great time selecting the fabrics for this quilt.
I have retired after a career in the Army. I am now learning how to be a homemaker. I am learning to quilt and also enjoy knitting, dress making,cross stitch, needlepoint and beading.
