Secrets from Louisiana

So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.

The palette is non stopping.

A Big Good Morning All

I am working at the daycare this day so had to get up early to get some things done. Made my lunch, cut my ss stocking will stitch this evening, made my lunch, passed the dust mop and planned supper. What a WOMAN!!!!!

Once I sew and quilt tonight my package will be almost ready to go, just need the candy to put in it. My exchange blocks are almost ready to put together and then stitch. Christmas is done! Got Steve the neetish gagets yesterday. Mike and Hank are always losing keys so I found some key finder gagets for them, way kool. I need to wrap them all this week if I have time. Depends on how many days I work this week. Work really interfers with my fum activities, but my cousin Joanna really needs me at this time in her life, some real issues in that home. Hopefully they will be out of the house in 2 weeks.

I am a care giver can't you tell!!!!!!!!!It is my lifes work.heheehehehehe

Slow Start

Got up feeling like I could throwup and sit on the moddie at the same time. I wined for a few hours and after multi-trips to the moddie I started feeling fine about 11:30 and got hungry. Thanks goodness thats over with.I think the eggplant I ate for supper did a number on my digestive system.Enough of that!!!!!!

It is winter time in Louisiana, into the 30's tonight and in the 50's tomorrow and all weekend, yea sewing weather and feeling good weather.

Rain at Last

It has rained all night and will rain for 2 more days. We really needed it, way behind on moisture. The dog is under my table, she gets really scared when it rains or we have thunder. My mother was the same way, she didn't get under the table but would put a pillow over her head during a storm.
,
We will be running the shop this week for Biggems(Big Hank), I get to cook breakfast for little Hank this morning, yea love that boy.Spend the afternoon with him yesterday, when they are 17 years old every shared moment is wonderful because he will probably go to LSU next year. He is in SLU University 1/2 time while he finishes high school. When he grad. in May he will have 5 collage courses finished, all his maths and one English and a Biology. Smart Kid, we all were good students, Education and Work were our 2 goals in life.

I am working on my blocks at the shop, cutting small parts. Secret Santa is next.

Have a great day!
