DS's bad day...

First thing Monday morning, on his way to work with a co-worker in tow, DS got rear-ended (but good by the sounds of it). Then, later in the day he locked his keys in the truck, and later still he broke his key in the ignition... Well, that makes 3! The rest of his week should be good, until he goes to Autopac (insurance) for a damage assessment early next week. I hope they don't develop some form of whiplash... 8-(

Found a quick bag pattern/tutorial at Sarah's Prim Treasures. She is graciously sharing it in celebration of her blogoversary. Lucky us!!! Check it out! 8-)

Didn't do any sewing myself yesterday. I was busy with other things and catching up on my blog reading... a bit more to do later today...

I did do some stitching on my hexagons (tutorial) and more quilting Monday on my "Easter" quilt though... before we went computer shopping. For the first time I used that transparent thread. It went pretty good once I sorted out my tension on scraps! Good thing I was slow going because I did get knotted up around things on the machine and spool a couple of times until I moved my spool to my table top spool holder. (Is there a different way to hide the tails of this kind of thread?) I was some stumped for ideas on the remainder of the quilting... still thinking about it. I may bring it to my quilt gathering tonight for some thoughts from the ladies... 8-)

Hopefully I will have some show & tell from the evening later tonight, or tomorrow morning... 8-)

Look at what I saw while sitting here typing! A Squirrel! In January yet, climbing up the tree out front. Aren't squirrels suppose to hibernate till into March? Hey Marlene, your probably a squirrel and acorn pro to know this answer! lol! Squirrely was well on it's way before I could get closer to the window with my camera for a clear shot!!! There it is, high tailing it down the street! 8-)

Taking my ma to the doctors today for them to look at her knee again. Only reason I'm taking her is, if he bends her bad knee a lot, she will not be able to drive home... My mom is still a very independent and able woman. They say she needs a knee replacement, but we are not sure it is a joint problem... The pain is mostly up and down the back of her leg, but it all started behind her knee. Has trouble bending it for the pain that shoots through... I hope we find out a bit more about this...

For those that were interested, all of my hexagon tutorial is up. Four posts of it. I have a link under "labels" in my sidebar to bring up only those posts... 8-)

Well, time to be on my way...
Till later today...
