Today seems to be an odd day for me...

I'm sort-of wandering around, talking out loud to myself...

Boyfriend is at work, our oldest daughter is at one of her college classes, and our youngest is taking her kitten to the vet...

So I'm stuck here, alone, wandering around between loads of laundry, with the tv on for noise...

I'm sort of lost today.

I'm in a funk.

But SHE gives me comfort! =-)

It's not a very focused picture, but really, are we supposed to *clearly* see faeries? Aren't they supposed to stay in the realm of "those things that we're not quite certain of"?

She found me at a yardsale, and my 18 yo daughter tried to claim her, but she stuck with me. (Yay! The gods smiled on me yet again.)

I still need to find a name for her. Any suggestions? I have no idea if she came with a set of anything, nor if she's a cartoon, or what. Nor do I want to know!

And the quilt I'm working on is lying there looking at me accusingly.

I need to get to work on it, but I'm stuck for a bit.

I guess I'll go look around the 'net for some tutorials on applique'...

Back later. But in the meantime, here's a sneak-peek at this thing I'm trying to work on:

Hi Wendy,
I just noticed you following my blog. Thanks for hopping by to visit. Do you live in the same small town as me? New Bern? Sure would be nice to meet a quilting buddy.
hugs,
shell

what a cute little fairy girl...girl, right? You're right about the sidewinder, how did I ever live without one? I went to visit my little old lady friend who quilts and took mine along to show her how they work. She loved it! I won't sell her one but just go see her every week to wind hers. It'll give us a chance to visit, lol. Thanks for dropping by for a visit. Oh, go see oldredbarn blogsite and check out her quilt in progress, very inspiring. She is teaching along for the past few weeks and giving away a pricey machine to boot. (I lived in Creedmore, NC in 1999-2000). Small world, eh? Check out her quilt though, very cool.

Who's Who...

Me - 50yo daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, friend.

2013 was a Really Big Year; I realized I am a "conduit" for Universal Healing Energy. ("The Angels" help me to help others.)

I also discovered that my Purpose in this Life is TO LOVE OTHERS. Period.

Boyfriend - My dear, sweet husband of over 30 years... God! Has it really been that long?! In a way it seems like just a few years, and in another way it seems like I've *always* had him in my life.

He is the one who has given me "permission" to learn how to spread my wings and fly.

He's my best friend, and I know I can *always* count on him. He's always there for me!

Bunny - 24 y.o. daughter who's a photographer and artist, with a full-time job with full benefits. She just got married (Sep 2013) to her best friend & lover, Ashton. They both have hopes of continuing college some time in the near future.

Kitty - 22 y.o. daughter who is (many times) the voice of reason for me. I know. Who in their right mind would admit something like that, right? But I never said I'm in my "right mind"! =-) She loves to cook and do artsy things, and she recently got married too (Oct 2013), to Josh. She's going to community college, working, and taking care of her kitties, husband and others...

Z - My 24-year old little sister. She's only 5 months older than my oldest daughter. (She's my Dad's child, not my Mom's.) She lives down the road with Daddy, works all the time and parties all the time and sleeps all the time. Don't ask me how she does *that*. I don't know! Plus, she takes classes at the community college.

Daddy - My 81 year old, Harley-riding and STILL YOUNG Dad! ("You Go, Daddy!!!") *He* is the reason for the weekly "Saturday-morning breakfast-out together" ritual.
The breakfasts were put on hold two summers ago while he was working at Yellowstone... And now he has a LadyFriend on his mind. He NEVER thought *that* would happen again. =-)

I'm tellin' ya; my Dad is KickAss! =-)

Suzanne - My older sister (only by 3 years) who lives in the country in Eastern N.C. She's married to a true Country Boy who's the smartest person i know.

My Lovely Assistant - The sweet and smart dog we've had for over 12 years now. (And by "we" I mean everybody BUT Boyfriend. He says "Animals belong OUTSIDE!" He's simply waiting for her to die...) She's getting old, can hardly hear anymore, and follows me all over the house.

It's gonna be a sad, sad day when she tells me, "It's time, woman. Let me go..."

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone...

I'll update when I think about it...

=-)
