Cindy Was Right

 Riverton, Utah        High 73 Low 53

We finally got some rain, which the weather guessers were saying wasn't coming. It was a nice gently rain that last through lots of  the night.

We had gone to a yard sale, when Cindy spotted a decorative screen, which she thought would look nice on our gazebo. I thought she had lost her mind, but we brought it home. We found it nearly fit where she wanted it with only some minor modifications. 

This is where she wanted to put it.

This is what it looks like now, with the screen and hanging baskets of ferns.

We still need two more baskets. We both think it looks better, so Cindy was right.

This is Cindy's garden.

Somewhere on Facebook or Pinterest, Cindy found pictures of planters made from old chandeliers, so she found some for free at some of the yard sales. 

The first picture is one she has finished, the second is one I have to strip the wiring from.

And finally, here is a birdcage Cindy made into a table center piece.

Thanks for visiting.

Where Does The Time Go?

It has got warm. It is more like June weather, except the weather guessers are saying no rain in the foreseeable future. 

I guess time flies when you are having fun, here it is Memorial Day already. 

Cindy has been busy with quilting and getting her garden ready and lots of other stuff. She is about the busiest person I know. 

I have been doing quite a few quilts and that is about all I have for pictures.

These next two quilts are some my customers brought to quilt.

The rest are Cindy's quilts. Easy to see she likes lots of pieces.

This next quilt is one she made for her son Scot, who likes to decorate for Halloween.

Not Much To Report

We are back to cooler weather, which is more like this time of year is suppose to be.

Monday I went back to the dentist and he didn't find too much wrong. He said there was probably a dry socket where the tooth came out and that is what was causing the pain. So he cleaned it out and put in some ointment (caulking?) and said he would see me in 10 days. 

Tuesday we went to see Cindy's sister, who had fallen and shattered her shoulder socket. I guess it was very extensive surgery and she will be in a sling for a while. Anyway, we helped her clean out some things she wanted to get rid of.

The rest of the week was spent quilting. First I finished one of Cindy's quilt, which took about 8 different colors of thread and was very labor intensive. I think it turned out nice.

Cindy had extra material from the kit and she used it up on the back.

One of my customers brought over two quilts to do, So far I only finished one of them because I had another customer bring two more quilts that she was in kind of a hurry to finish. One was a table topper, and the other a baby quilt, so I hurried and finished them before doing the other one for the first lady. 

The next ones are the second ladies quilts. 

After she came to pick them up, she came with her mother and brought another quilt to finish. I guess, along with Cindy quilts, I'll be busy quilting for a while, which is better than just sitting watching TV.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Mothers Day

It has been a little warmer than usual for this time of year with the weather guessers predicting record highs this coming week. 

Monday I had another tooth pulled. This time it hasn't gone as well as last time. Where the tooth came out, the stitches seemed to come out a lot sooner than they should have. Since Friday, my mouth has felt like I  have been hit in the face. I called the dentist, and the soonest they cay get me in is tomorrow.

Tuesday we had a block party for Cinco de Mayo. Quite a few people were there, but I don't think as many as last year.

There was also a small car show with the party.

I have also finished two more quilts. Cindy sure likes lot of small pieces!

This Harry Potter Quilt is from a kit Cindy got. She had so much fabric left over, she made a really fancy back for it.

Today Tammy, Cindy's daughter, is coming over for a Mothers Day Lunch, which she says she us going to prepare. Of course Cindy is putting in a lot of work also.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there.

Thanks for visiting.
