Working On My Applique Today

First and Foremost -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUSBAND, PATRICK.

Patrick took the day off. I didn't have to go to Cherrill's today, so we slept in. Then we went to the casino - only because he had some money today from the casino. Funny thing is, he's decided to back off the casino for awhile - let's see how long that lasts. (I'm laughing)

Came home and watched a John Wayne movie! I don't think I saw this one. It was about getting the animals in Africa.


Since mom wants me to get moving on the squirrels, I pulled them out of the baggie I had them in from yesterday.


Then I had to see what each squirrel looked like and go from there. I worked on the first squirrel and wasn't too thrilled about the small pieces that show up.


Had the tale done first, and then added it to the body.


Now the first squirrel is done. I started the second one, and have it's tail done. Then I called it quits. I'll work on it tomorrow at moms.

Then I worked on the checkbook for us and the water system.

After that, I pulled out all those newspaper clippings and started organizing them. I've got a pile for scanning into the family history, unknown articles about places, towns, etc, and a pile of "who the heck are they and where do they come into the family." AND I'm still going through them because I only made a dent in the pile....ugh.

So, now it's time to call it quits, clean up my mess, and wonder where I start tomorrow when I get back home from moms.

Have you ever had to go through newspaper clippings your relatives clipped? Family or "heck if I know?"

Keep it up and stay Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
