Fabric Finds and My LIfe

I went to GR to see my dad in the hospital over the weekend.  

We thought he was going to be discharged on Sat but it is not going to happen until today.  

He is going to have to have a nurse employed when he returns to his apt.  

We brought his cat home with us. 

 I am at a crossroads, I fear.

I'm not sure how to proceed and the fear is paralyzing. 

 I feel like he gets worse with every visit to the hospital. 

 I think for now, if I can get a nurse to visit him, he can stay where he is...for now. 

 It won't last long.  

His memory is much worse than even a week ago. 

 I am looking into nursing homes while also considering taking him into my own home. 

 I am terrified of both options.  

What's wrong with me??  

This is not normally who I am!  

That's all I am going to say for now.  

Breathing deeply and spending time investigating, that's the job of the minute.

On to other things.  I picked up some of the amazing Britten Number fabric from IKEA and it is available at Crazy Quilt Girl's online fabric shop.  It is quite a large print.  It makes a fabulous back as it is 59" wide!  I LOVE this fabric so much.  If you want any you better hurry up before I buy it all up!

 I also found some older Lizzy House Red Letter Day fabrics and 

am selling them $12/yard shipped or $9/yard pick up.

I have 1 yard of this available.

I have 2 yards of this one available.

I am also selling some Innocent Crush Shattered by Anna Maria Horner $13/yard shipped

 or $10 local pick up. 

 I have 2 yards of this available.  

It was once again a blizzard while we were out of town.  

We had to dig out one of my dad's cars and get it started.  

Still couldn't move it into the garage as it was stuck to the ground.  

That's hubby doing the digging out!

Photos from the front yard at my dad's house.  

Look at the neighbor's mailbox!

We had to bring our snow blower so we could actually get into the driveway to get into the house!

Beautiful but messy!

This was how driving home was too.

WOW

BURRRR...Baby it's cold outside! We are at -1 here today!! I took these photos yesterday looking out my window at work. I work at the University of Michigan and we have a spectacular view out our window. Isn't all the snow beautiful? The weather man tells us it will all be melted by the weekend and it will be 50, we will see about that! Can't predict what the weather will be like but they can tell us all about Global Warming and how it will effect us...Really? You can tell me about Global Warming but can't tell me what the weather will be like a few days from now, sheesh!! I shouldn't get started down that path. Oh yeah, snow. Isn't the snowflake in the window cool?




One of my CL's did this quilt. I just got it back from Liz today. Shirley (the CL that made it ) has not even seen it yet. She hand appliqued all those little quarter circles down on that background. There are almost 900 3" blocks!!! She kept calling it the quilt she would never finish before she dies, but she did!! I gave it to Liz to work her magic on and voila...a masterpiece!

Shirley chose a plain back and just look at that fabulous quilting! Liz told me it took her a little over 12 hours and she did it all freehand!!! Amazing. Such talent.

Not the best photo of the front. but the best I could get without letting it touch the lab floor!

I just couldn't resist sharing! Let me know what you think...
