Mid-Month Check-In for

A Lovely Year of Finishes

....I am way, way behind.  But the only thing to do is start up again and move forward.  I'm working on the back:

How are you doing?  Join us at the linky on Melissa's blog.

Applique Thursday Not..... Again

Sigh - the siege of "things to do" is over and I'm pooped!  Hardly any quilting done, too tired.  After my 2 hour nap after getting back from St. Anne's, I went outside and found solace in plants starting to bloom. 

 Here is my yellow Lady Banks bursting into bloom.

And the geraniums are starting to blossom too!

 

So restful.  Dinner is steak, mash potatoes and sautéed brussel sprouts.  Yumm.  Maybe tomorrow I'll feel quilt energized again.  What are you up to? 

Another WOW!

I had 7 days of 4 grandkids in the last 9 days  - 3 of those 24/7! so this was the last thing I've done. Do go over the Esther's blog for this week's WOW and see the fabulous flower blocks she and others have made for the Forget Me Not BOM that is coming to a close.

PS: The telephone repairman said it was a wonder we had any telephone and internet service from the mess that was in the junction box. He worked two hours on it - even put a new wire from the pole to the house.  I do believe my NET is faster - woo hoo!
