RSC - prep work

This was the dog last night. It's a tough life having a fight with Lambie. Lots of shaking and destuffing happened.


I left the 'crime scene' in place for Emily to see when she got home at midnight. I did manage to restuff Lambie and stitch him up. Turns out, once stitched it is not as fun since the dog can't unstuff him at will! 





I was to ride with Emily today, but the headache I had Thursday came back last night. It is a cross between a migraine (no issue with light or sound), a headache and spinning head when I bend or lean down. I did walk the dog this morning. I was going to bring Emily to horses, but hubby got up and when I mentioned a migraine, he offered to take her. I let him and took a nap.

I did get the Accuquilt out and the 2.5 inch die. I had not used that one yet. I pressed some fabric and got some 2.5 inch strips cut from scraps and fabric on the shelves. I then sat in my chair and sub cut into 2.5x4.5 parts. For each potato chip block, I need 6 lights and 12 colors. I tried to get a good variety. I'll cut more but this is a starting point. Linking up with the RSC.



It appears Florida is set to get another hurricane mid week. Milton has formed. This could be very bad for Tampa, which was hit from Helene last week. We will be watching the weather here in Florida and will see what happens. I have a feeling the kids will be off school one or two days this week. It is homecoming week, so that will be messing things up pretty well.  We are so glad that my FIL's tree is all taken down and won't cause any damage with this next storm.

I didn't realize another hurricane was coming - just what everyone down there needs. Your potato chip blocks are just looking great! So handy to have the Accuquilt to cut the pieces. Hope your headache is better this evening!
