This is getting rediculous

I need to open a shop. I do need to buy some ribbon to pretty them up, this is some binding I split and used for pic purposes





Silly boy

Wants to ride solo and give mom a heart attach - DO you see how sad he is ?

update on crafts

I have been running from one thing to another. This quilt is slow progress as it has a lot of pieces to stitch together. I am 1/2 way through and I started yesterday . I do it in drabs, bits and pieces. Unfortunately the disc degeneration doesn't like the stance that I have to hold to sew. Each row I complete I am vigorously doing my exercises. I am hoping that by Wed I can have this top completed. I have 40 rows across and 50 down I am on row 21. Time for a break I am sure there are things calling my name. 

The good news is that I am great at multitasking, the house is clean, bird is cooked and Ben removed the meat from the bones. I blew out the driveway and swept it and Ben repaired a section of fence that I needed an extra hand for. SO we are in good shape---------- for a nap!!!

Here is what 1/2 my project looks like

Here is the full quilt

Purification system

Some people put their valuables in the closet this is our! WE do not have a basement so we mounted this in the closet next to the water softener. Now our water in not contaminated, YIPPY

AS you can see there are two hoses one to bring the water to the Purification system through the UV light ( in the silver tube) out to the filter then through the house. This system is in place because we can't properly sterilize our well- we keep trying hopefully soon. We are unable to treat the water at the source so we are purifying it as it comes into the house. The cost is $100 a year for maintanence for the UV bulb. Lucky for us our system was on sale when we purchased it last week!

I decided to take this quilt on . It is quite labour intensive. It took me a week to lay out all these pieces 20 rows X 50 pieces and that is only one half of the quilt. It is much easier to see the pattern work when I lay it out and the transit lines

One more duplicate piece to stitch and then seam them together , followed by all horizontal piecing. Hmm wonder if I have enough background fabric
