Progress Feels Good

Wednesday was a good day for making progress.  Starting with a trip to the Apple store to pick up a wireless keyboard for Mr. Bill and lunch at our favorite El Indio.  I found a computer class I want to take but it doesn't start until mid-October.  In the afternoon I started some chili in the crock pot.  Mr. Bill had a meeting so that meant sewing time for me.

Then it was time to move on to the sewing room.  The weather was a little cooler today and with three fans going I was able to get some sewing done.  I finished the Counting Bears top.  I got the back done (ironed) and the batting cut and it's all ready to go with me on Monday to be quilted.  I so excited to do some of my own quilting.



I also got the binding machined sewn on the disappearing nine patch, I'll start doing the hand sewing this morning while I wait for Mr. Bill at the dentist.  I trimmed up my Sweet Treat quilt just back from the quilt and got the binding made.  I would have sewn it on the quilt but I was distracted by this beautiful sunset.



 

Then I came down stairs to have some dinner at 8pm.  A little bit of chili and left over chips from El Indio was yummy good.  I know I should eat earlier but that just cuts in to my sewing time.

Yesterday I also realized that the comments had been turned off.  In July the spammers had found my blog.  I know, my little ole blog.  I have less than 100 post. I'm leaning as I go.  I don't even know how to count visitors or add buttons and the spammers found me?  Well comments are back on I hope.  Now if I could figure out what wordpress password I need to comment on blogger blogs I'd be a happy camper. :)

I do like days when I feel productive.

First I have to admit that we've not been Mom & Dad to any pets in many many years, but we have been Aunt and Uncle to many.



I want you to meet George. When George first showed up at our house he didn't have tags so we named him George and that name stuck even after we learned that his real name was Marlow.  We became a regular stop on his rounds in the neighborhood.  He came by early in the morning and would stand at the window until we saw him and if he had to wait to long he would let out one bark.  He'd have his treat and then some times he'd wander on or he's just hang out for a while.  Sometimes he would surprise us and come by in the afternoon and would be waiting when we came home from work. He was not one for playing, running after a ball held no interest for him.  He came for love and petting and of course dog treats.



 

George is no longer with us.  For over 15 years he was our visiting sweetheart.
