February....

A new color at the RSC Challenge in February as Purple and Lilac were chosen this month. As that was the first color last year.... I have a lot of my existing blocks set in purple. I will probably still add some more purple blocks through the month...but I checked my UFO list and it turns out I have a bunch of blocks from the 1857 appliqué quilt in purple that need to be sewn together! I think that will be my goal this month - to get that quilt to a top stage. This is an old photo of all the blocks laid out on the floor... I know that circle block has the peel added so it is ready for play time to see how the blocks will be laid out for the final quilt layout.




It has been an interesting week. I had a root canal scheduled for Tuesday.... got off work and drove there to find out there was no power at the dentist office. Reschedule for Wednesday. Emily had an orthodontist appt Tuesday afternoon and got tightened and was in lots of pain with little sleep on Tuesday night. She stayed home.... which meant I had to have Greg get off work to stay with her while I went to my appointment. It took forever to get numb....seems I have stubborn nerves and it took 4 shots! Good thing Greg was home as I didn't get home until 2:15... so he had to do school pick up. Hopefully that is behind me now. Do you think I had hand work with me for that waiting to numb time? Nope, left it in the car, darn it. Oh well. I sent Dad to gymnastics with Emily as I was still numb and he had never been to see her. Now he know's what I get to do every Wednesday with her.

Off to bowling. Let's hope it is a good day.

Linking up to the RSC Challenge on Saturday. Check out what we did on Saturday with adding onto our family!

what a time at the dentist - I hate getting dental work, but when I get numb it stays with me for hours! I can have an appointment at 11 and get the Novocaine and it won't have worn off until 5 or 6 in the late afternoon! Hope your root canal went ok, I find they do them a lot better now then they did in years past.

Having dental problems is no fun at all. Hope that all is back to normal soon.

The 1857 quilt is perfect for February, since it's also Mardi Gras (Feb 13th)! Mardi Gras colors are purple, green, and gold!

Aren't Unforeseen Requirements wonderful? These type of weeks are just 'no fun'
