The Quilt

Shot some pics of the quilt I received at my housewarming. Had to spread it out on my bed to get it all. It's at least a full size, if not queen. And so perty!

If you see a lump on the right...
It's a Devil Pup! LOL
This is a close-up of one of my favorite squares. Reminds me of a poodle skirt. I always wanted one of those when I was a kid. :)

And some more close-ups...




The DP was on the move. She enjoyed snaking around underneath the quilt.


This square contains some of the fabric from my great-grandmother. If I remember correctly, it's the solid purple and she used it around the border, too.

A fun pattern...

And the blue piping is from my great-grandmother's fabric, too, I think. To be honest, I was in such awe of the quilt, I sorta missed all that she said about my great-grandmother's fabric. *sheepish grin*


And then the DP surfaced again and it was time to fold it away to await the quilt rack I'm going to order/buy soon. There'll be no hiding this masterpiece away. It's going to be on display. :) Much like the DP. lol

Wow! That is lovely! My great aunt always gives beautiful quilts that she's done...but only for weddings and baby showers. At the rate I'm going, I'm never going to get one. :(

Bridget~It's really not fair that you have to get hitched or knocked up to get anything special, is it?

If I ever make anything beautiful, I'll send it to you, okay? Just for being special you. ;-)

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
