sew and sew

Well, I have my quilt and batting and backing all together and just need to quilt it now, However I have another project I am making for my daughters birthday and can't share it yet or she will know what it is. I decided to finish that project as time is running out and then go back to my quilt. I got my haircut last Friday and am not pleased. No one is harder to please then another hairstylist. With a little nip her and there I will have it looking right. I bought my first items ever on e-bay yesterday. One was an auction item and when I got on it just had 10 minutes left. I bought fabric (my newest addiction). My son and his wife have a vineyard and I got 2 different yards of fabric with wine bottles on them. I am also looking for fabric with grapes and even pictures of vineyards to make a special quilt for them for Christmas.It is just going to take a while to get exactly what I need.
Well my truck has been acting up a little so I took it to a mechanic last Thursday and am still waiting to hear what is wrong. If I don'e hear soon I am going to go pick it up and just take it to the dealer. I know they will charge more but they will do it faster and have all parts. I don't like being dependant on someone else for transportation,.
Hey, did everyone remember to set their clocks ahead?
I got up Sunday and was taking my sweet time when Mary came into kitchen and said you know it isn' 8am it is 9. Wow! I had to move so fast, take my shower and all to get ready for church. I remembered all about it Saturday afternoon and evening but forgot when I crawled into bed.
Last night I gave Gidget a bath and brushed her out. She is getting long and looking like a real shi-tzu. I like her long but rarely see her this way as in the summer keep her so short because of heat and stickers. Before I clip her I will take another picture of her to share. I have created a monster with Cheech the calf. He was becoming unfriendly so I went out with carrots and apples and he just loves them and now stands at the front of the house moowing for his daily treats. Chong however doesn't want them at all. They are so different. I broke down and bought a 25 lb. bag of carrots and yesterday went to feed him his treats and now he didn't want them. He better like them today or we will be eating carrot stew, carrot salad, carrot juice,and carrot cake. lol

grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
