It has been a week... a long week...
Not much time, need, or desire for posting and blog visits... Sadly, next week already looks pretty much the same...
DH with car problems 2 hours west of the city (2 day fishing trip). Me, car problems in the city (couldn't go anywhere cause van ready to die on me)... Hubby brought it to the service station this morning... I sure hope there is a new vehicle or 2 in our near future!
Lotto Max pleassssssseeee.... 8-)
A dear uncle in the hospital, DH going golfing for a week, party planning, an unexpected trip
(anyone know of a quilt shop in Kelowna BC?),
parents, the adult kids, wedding plans and quilts in different stages of progress, and the list goes on...
Pardon my absence this past week & this coming week...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen all kinds of quilts with "box" blocks over the last while, so I doodled and played with pencil and paper some, for sanity sake...
I think this will get made into a quilt... soon! 8-)
My Wonky Bits group did a retail day trip yesterday. It was a lovely day in the country, much needed fun!
Two towns, 2 wonderful quilt shop visits, a great lunch stop, and an afternoon teashop stop! Whoopee!!!
Here is a photo of the wonderful damage to my credit card... 8-)
I have to remind myself next time, to look for more fabrics that read as solid colors...That is where my stash is lacking...
I leave you with a photo of Ruby, which I haven't featured in a while...

Oh sigh!!!! Glad you managed a little retail therapy.
oh my, that does sound like a lot on your plate at the moment! Remember to take some time for yourself too.
oh and I am SO SO CLOSE to #8 being crossed off my list! I will let you know when I get there, I think one good chick flick and I am there!
Whew! That sounds like quite a week!
The fabrics are delicious. If you find a nice quilt shop in Kelowna let me know as we will be going there at the end of July.
Hi Myra, You're sounding busy as ever - sounded like a fun road trip you made to those quilt shops. I was in Kelowna last year and you can find my post here about the shop I went to http://sipiweskequilts.blogspot.com/2009/05/vacation-days-6-and-7.html - they were super nice gals! Have fun. - Marlene
There are two that I know of... Cottage Quilting, 2070 Harvey Ave http://cottagequiltingonline.com/
and Linda's Quilt Shoppe. #114 - 948 McCurdy Road. Have fun on your visit!!
Sorry to read you've been having such a hectic time of it lately, Myra. It was nice that you were able to get out for a bit of "retail therapy" though. Hope this next week is a little kinder for you.
It was really fun doing retail therapy with you although I have to be good for awhile now. Glad that you were able to get away.
You've certainly had your hands full ,we did the car thing two weeks ago first mine needed a fuel pump now DH needs tires .Hope things get better for you .
If you must do damage to the credit card then that's a lovely way to do it. :o)
Finally one PhD finish for me with June 30 breathing down my neck.
