Stranded!!!

The car was acting funny friday night when I drove home from work. But I tried not to think about, afterall it was friday night, and I had a whole weekend with nothing planned to do.
But during the night I awoke with a thought about the car and why it acted so weird and what would happen if it died.
I got up bright and early to run out to check out my car, and sure enough it was dead.
My poor car. Luckly I had a friend that owns a auto repair shop. I called him up and it just took minutes before he was here with a battery charger. And after a couple of hours on the charger it started right up. But I was warned not to take it anywhere exept his auto shop. Bummer, now my car is sitting at the garage and I am sitting at home.
Well....................let's see what we can do when stranded.

First thing I did was finish my nephew's quilt top. All done and now ready to be sandwiched and quilted. How's that?
But that's not all, the house got cleaned, floors vaccum, furniture dusted, dishes done, etc etc etc......


And then I worked on my BOM for the month of October. It needs to be joined in on the quilt. So far this is what it looks like and it is starting to look like a great quilt.
And then I took a break and deceided to cover some of my windows in plastic. Need to get ready for that cooler weather. So I tackled a few windows, not the best job but it will work for keeping the cool air out from the cracks.


Oh yes, and then there was maggie. Poor little gal, momma is running around and not paying attention to me. Play with me momma please!!! So I took a break and played awile with my little girl.

the next morning when I got up
I cleaned out my scrap box, and deceided to cut some into 21/2 inch strips and 4x4 squares. I mail these to my girlfriend so she has something to play with while she is learning how to quilt. So far she has made three huge quilts and some baby quilts with my scraps. She is learning and having fun at it.

Then I sat down to work on this little snowman quilt. It needed some embroidery work done before I could start to assemble it.

My brother showed up for a visit, so we sat and watched the football game and ordered a pizza. I was able to finish the hand work on this little hanging......

after my brother left I finished most of it up. Here it is still needing the binding on it. But you get the idea.

Whew!!!!!!!!!!! See what you can all accomplish when you are unable to leave the house!

Now as I sit here quietly on the couch watching tv, I am thinking of what else I could do before bed.............lol
