A View of My Life - Quilt and Other Things

New Week = New Plan

Last Friday night, DH & I were out with friends for dinner (at a Fabulous Italian Restaurant) and we all were comparing notes on how it had been the longest week ever. There were a lot of ups & downs and back & forths.  

Thankfully, Odie is doing great, all better from his abscess, so while that started as a down - it's all an up now!

After spending last Tuesday at home, watching him like a hawk and letting the meds do their job, we packed up & headed back to Michigan on Wednesday.  Back to painting! Thursday was all about painting - or more accurately prepping & painting.  I swear the scrubbing and scraping takes longer than the actual painting.

On Friday, I packed up our laundry and necessities & headed back home.  The dinner out was in honor of P's birthday, followed by the Annual Pumpkin Hunting on Saturday.

Guess what I did on Sunday?  

Yes - headed back to Michigan to continue the painting project!  The weather forecast is for good weather Sunday, Monday & Tuesday of this week, with rain Tuesday night & Wednesday. That works well because Odie has a regularly scheduled vet appointment on Wednesday morning, so we'll be heading back late Tuesday.

So between last Monday and yesterday, I have driven over 675 miles - going in circles! Kind like quilting...

On Saturday morning, I did manage to FINALLY finish the quilting on the Construction Equipment quilt!! 
Here's the Construction Equipment quilt top
It was handed off on Saturday afternoon to make it's way to a little boy, who just got a new baby brother last week.  I need to get that baby quilt done ASAP!
