Didn't I say "Not Break Anything?"

-
if you read the previous post - I think I posted about not breaking anything while riding the horses .... well, 1 ambulance ride, 1 ER visit, 1 referral, and 1 visit back to our favorite Ortho Doc = a broken elbow - in 2 places no less - URGH ! Yep - same dd - #2 - but not from riding - she was FEEDING the horses, and tripped over a cut down piece of bamboo - landed hard on her elbow - and that was that!

I rode in the ambulance with her - since we were so far from home - it was easier on dh and the rest of the kids. They went to Chuck E Cheese - we went to the ER. We were actually in and out pretty quick - although they waited until our Ortho guy saw the x-rays in case he wanted to do surgery - urgh again. No surgery - barely. He said if the one break was just a bit worse, that would have been different as well.

BRIGHT PINK cast - just like mom's last one - although it looks so much better on her then on me !

I did blow my eating that Sunday - the stress and all - so Monday I fasted, and today I'll limit myself to liquids until dinnertime. We're doing Chinese Buffet - so I'll try and stick to salad and U-peel shrimp. High in Sodium - so I'll be careful the rest of the week.

Tomorrow I'll be making the italian sausage with black eyed peas and kale. Thursday I'll do a bottom round roast in the crock. Plus I'll make the red lentils as well - maybe tomorrow - in case the kids don't like the black eyed peas - they'll have another option.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
