Weekend Doings

My weekend was so unusual this weekend.  

I had to take the dog to the vet because she had a sore behind her ear and it was infected. 

 Much money later she is home and looking like this:

We went out for dinner with some friends that we had not seen in a very long time.  

Dinner was fabulous, too much wine consumed and a lot of laughing and planning. 

 So good to see our friends. 

The over indulgence of Friday night severely limited my Saturday.  

I did drag my sorry self off to Zumba in the am and then showered and 

most certainly did NOT take the world by storm.  

I vegged out on the couch for most of the day. 

 I found a box of fabric that was my grandmother's and thought I would go through that while watching TV so I could pretend that I actually got something done.

There were a lot of sewn blocks in the box. 

 Interestingly enough most of the fabric did not appear to be cotton, but rather fabric from clothing.  My grandma died when I was only 2 so I have no way to know what the fabrics are from 

(and my mom has been gone for 12 years now too, before I found the box).  

I kept holding up fabrics and saying to hubby, 

"I wonder which of these were he very favorite fabrics, the ones she would hoard?" 

 Of course he had no idea what I was talking about, but I bet you all know!  

Maybe I should label those so that when I am gone my girls will know which ones are precious to me? 

 Just a thought.  

I did have some help with the sorting. 

 Hallie knows all about hoarding fabrics. 

 Just look at that protective paw over the fabrics!

Sunday was a much more productive day for me.  

I did laundry, cut the fabrics for my text swap and made binding for the wolf quilt.

I cut 20 FQ's of this text print for the swap.  

I will get 20 different FQ's back!! 

 So excited!

Then it was off to Lowes to get a new refrigerator. 

 YIPPEE!!  

My kitchen will be so nice very soon.  

New floor, new fridge. 

 Went to the bank and then to the grocery store.  

Put the Christmas tree away, don't ask. 

 Then up to the sewing room to make the Feb blocks for the Ima Bee. 

 Love the block she chose. 

 We were to make 2 of the chosen block and I added one in reverse colors. 

 I hope she likes them. 

 They were fun to make.  

I could see making this block again. 

 I think it would be neat in rainbow colors, with maybe a text or black on white prints for the background.

Back to work for me today. 

 The Bee Vintage bee has begun again too but the Feb blocks have not been selected yet.  

I am looking forward to those too.  

As soon as the wolf quilt is finished I will have a little breathing room to make some new projects.  Can't wait!

How was your weekend?
