Week #35 Stash Report

I did not add any stash this week....nor did I use any stash this week. Thursday I mailed off 90% of my socks for the sock swap and have been off and on working on the remaining 8 large ones that I need to mail off on Tuesday. So my totals are staying the same. Now to figure out what to work on first, I have a number of projects waiting and calling my name to be worked on. I do know that I need to make block #2 for Judy's BOM and block #3 is coming out tomorrow, also have a couple other things that need backing and quilted. And the magazine challenge is over there screaming at me to get started making blocks! Who knew fabric could yell so loud! LOL

Year-to-Date Totals:

Added: 0 yards
Busted: 89 yards
Purchased: 109 and 5/8yards
Net YTD: -20 and 5/8 yards busted

Stash Report #34

This past week my main focus has been socks. So there has been no fabric coming in and no fabric going out! I am getting closer to being done with them. Yahoo! Which means my totals are the same as last week. Basically that is good as I passed up a coupon from Kimberly at the Fat Quarter Shop...boy was that hard! And now I'm kicking myself! ROFLOL

Not much going on....

I have been busily working on my socks and am almost done! Yahoo! Very soon I will be able to start working on all the other projects that are calling to me! Kimberly over at the Fat Quarter Shop is hosting a giveaway! I sure hope I win! I just love her site! And Camille over at Cotton Blossoms is also hosting a giveaway. So head on over to both and check them out. You never know you just might win!! I'll be back later today or tonight with my stash report!

Tropical Storm Fay

Well late Monday, early Tuesday Fay moved onshore. Fortunately for us it was south of Cape Coral so it hasn't been too bad. We've had rain and wind. Power has flickered a few times but we still have it! Yahoo! Jim boarded up the house last night and he just finished taking down the boards on the patio. So now we have some light in the house. Still dark in here, so we have some lights on. Here are some of the pictures I have taken so far. This was taken Monday morning on my way out the driveway. Just some clouds..

This was taken after work Monday around 4 PM.

Beginning of a gorgeous sunset Monday night!

Gorgeous sunset Monday night!

Some of the clouds in view Monday night.

End of a beautiful sunset.

Tuesday Morning around 11 AM

What a way to start the day!

So work calls to inform me of a call off and that another server is coming in. I figure ok...I might as well get up and get my day going. I come out into the kitchen and Eddie is laying in front of the one desk that is along the garage wall and looking at it like he has something in his sights. For those who don't know Eddie is our daughter's cat and his picture is on the sidebar. So I take a closer look at him and there is something hanging off his mouth. Well I go and get a kleenex as I have no idea what this is, but usually this means it is a baby frog or lizard. No way am I touching those! So I wipe at his mouth and of course he isn't happy about that and then goes to the door to be let out on the lanai (patio). I let him out and watch from the kitchen to see what he does and then I hear this noise coming from the desk that he was watching. I glance that way and turn the light on and I hear it again...I get brave and go closer and there is this huge, gigantic FROG!! I let out a scream and Heather (DD) comes running. As now I have succeeded in waking her up and she knows from that scream she had better come as it normally means HER CAT has brought in someone or there is one huge palmetto bug! LOL So she looks at this frog and she is my frog catcher and says get the glass and paper plate! NO WAY am I touching that!! Well for the next 5 minutes she is trying to get this guy and he keeps hopping around. Finally he lands on the floor and I think alright we've got him now. Well he keeps hopping and ends up in the corner in the laundry room. Finally he jumps in the basket where we put the old magazines and newspapers for recycle day and she is able to get the glass over him and we take him outside and let him loose! I went back in and got the camera and here is the frog that started the commotion!

Good Morning!

I've been sitting here cruising the blog world this morning and ran across this blog contest. Carla is having a contest and the winner gets one of her awesome crocheted scarves. I sure would like to have the blue one. It's so nice of Carla to make that one just for me! Click on the link below to go to her blog to read all about it. A dear friend, Shirley has finally started her own blog! Man did I have to nag her to do it!
