Catching Up

I have had a lot going on and if I blogged about it all at once, this post would go on F-O-R-E-V-E-R!

Let's start with the AU passed away on February 8, but before he did he kind of ran DH and I ragged for a couple of weeks before we eventually put him in the hospital.  Then we were at the hospital every day dealing  with him, and eventually hospice.  I ran so much that I ended up with pneumonia.  After a couple of trips to the ER, and a visit by the local paramedics I am feeling better.  I think me being ill helped the AA adjust to the new status of her life.

I didn't sew for several days, yes I was that sick!  But I am getting back to normal.  When I look back at my recent posts I realized there is a lot that I haven't shared and it has been over 2 weeks since my last post.

I will start with my attempt at getting some Christmas presents done before December 24th.

Microwave bowl holders.  I shared my initial attempts here. I finished all of them.  Two with the green looking roses and gray chevrons, and two with gray roses and green chevrons.

I then saw Barbara's bowl cozies at Wont-to-be Quilter and loved her fabric.  I found some on Ebay, and made a set of 4 for another daughter's Christmas.  They are huge baseball fans. 

I have one more set to do for another daughter, I have fabric ordered, and I decided I wanted a set for me too. 

This is the fabric which I am going to use to make mine.  The flowers have little aqua dots and I love the chicks. I am thinking of using an aqua for the inside.

I will say I was so ill I didn't go to guild this month, and I didn't even finish up my guild block until the day of the guild meeting and it was touch and go, because I was that ill.

I will turn it in anyway the next meeting and it will be given to whomever won the blocks that night.  I will be playing catch up, cause I will be behind March's block, so next meeting I will have March and April to do.  Oh my!

Finally I got some fun mail from my Valentine JulieRose at JulieRoseQuilts.  Talk about bringing a smile to my face and making me feel so much better.

It is a wonderful mug rug, love the black and white print, and the polka dots, and oh heck!  I just love all of it.  Thank you so much JulieRose.

I have other things to show but perhaps in a later post, I have a chicken house to move tonight!
