Wednesday.....


I finally finished the first block for Happy Little Things BOM over at Jaquelynne Steves  The Art of Home website. I had pulled some fabrics from stash for this one and since I have so much waiting time, figured I'd hand piece this one as well. All done and ready for the next block release next month.

I had an early dentist appt this morning. After, I stopped at Sams as we were out of frozen burger patties. I buy them in the 6 pound package of individual patties as they are so easy to defrost in the microwave (3=1 pound) for meals. As you know, I am in Florida and we are busy watching the weather as a competitive sport with hurricane season in full swing. Dorian is powering up to become a hurricane and only Mother Nature knows where she will go. I am inland and on the west side of Florida so will probably just see rain and wind... if it comes in around the middle of the state. Too soon to tell....but people are already getting crazy buying bottled water. Me... we have a couple cases in storage already. Plenty of batteries in the house  (cause we live in Florida and you just never know!)  I just fill up big blue jugs of water and other containers and the tubs.... if it is a chance of losing power. We will see how things are shaping up Friday..... if it looks like central Florida then I'll fill bigger tupperware containers with water and pop them in the deep freezer. They will keep things cooler longer in case of a power outage... and can be used for drinking water if it is longer. Hopefully, it will go north and away from land and we will have a nice holiday weekend. If not.... I have plenty of hand work to keep me occupied!

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Dorian is probably my fault--my DD tells me I am a hurricane magnet!!! I can't believe Florida is getting a hurricane this week end--I sure hope that by Tues it is safe to fly down there--did look could fly down on Saturday--for $50 more and actually be there for the storm!!! but there is no way I can be totally out of the this apartment by Thurs at 3:30 for it to be inspected--and everyone in the office starts their holiday week end at 3:30 on Thursday--!!!
so here I am sittin and wondering what is gonna happen right along with you!!!
luv, di
Praying for safety for everyone

Hope it is a miss for you guys...we're having unexpected rains this afternoon--good for us, as it has been super dry...
Love your little block--so pretty. I am in a kind of funk since the fabric clean up...I have a bad case of quiltus-interruptus...nothing is feeling right...so typical for me...hugs, Julierose
