Almost a week has past....

I know!!
It's been busy around here.
I had the weekend off, but had so much stuff to do.
 Non-sewing quilting related stuff.
Then, I went back to work....night shifts on Tuesday night.
I'm really hating night shifts right now!!!
Last night, I went in to work, stayed until midnight and came back home.
I was so sick.
I spent the night in the bathroom, hugging the toilet bowl.
Yuck!!!!!
I'm exhausted this morning, but couldn't sleep.
My stomach is still queasy.......ughhhhhh!!!!


Okay, enough about that.
I did get some great mail yesterday.
My GO! Dresden plate die came. Yeah!!!!!!
I haven't tried it yet. Need to get my strenght up.
But I'm very excited none the less.
It should be fun to play with.


Also, my daughter B-Sew Cute got some great mail too.
Barb sent her two amazing fat quarters, to encourage her with her sewing.
She just loves them.
You are so sweet Barb!!! Thanks so much!!!!

I was reading Jodie's blog @ Pleasant Home.
She is having a Sew Scrap-A-Long on her blog over the next 4-5 weeks.
She will be sharing ideas on how to use up your scraps.
I'm totally on this bandwagon already.
I'm trying to just use what I have and not shop too much.
I've been doing relatively good.
So, I can't wait to see her ideas.


Another thing going on in blogland soon is the Blogger's quilt festival.
I love this festival. It's for anyone to enter, from a beginner to a seasoned quilter.
I love seeing all the quilts and getting inspired. Amy from Amy's creative side always does an amazing job getting it organized. She always has great prizes too. So, spread the word, and pick a quilt to share with all of us.

Well, I need a nap!
If I get any sewing done later, I'll let you know.

Hugs

Ariane

I sure hope you feel better soon.
I was sick with a flu or something, last week.
Guess it is that time of year again and time to snuggle in a chair with some hand quilting.
