It seems I have every good intention to get more done and then I find my days flying by, go back here and realize how long it truly has been.

Now Sheryl-lyn, I will get to getting those quilt tops on here someday soon I hope. Yes, quilt tops, not finished quilts darn it....grin. Yes, I have quite a lot hmmmmm and so many more in progress.

I thought in the later part of fall that I would have my sewing room more straightened up, to be able to get into sewing some more of those tops in progress. It all started out so well. I was rearranging the room, then Christmas starting heading my way, then the water episode. To say that wasn't in my plans was an understatement, but you know life happens to all of us. Me included. So now I am back to working on cleaning it up again.

There there is my having fun signing up for swaps on Mary Janes. Now I have some great gals I have been trading mini aprons with for what is it now, almost 2 years. Then I signed up for a quilt block swap, then there is the regular size apron swap. Plus I have an apron to make for the very sweetest farmgirl who has been very patient with me. I finally found some fabric I love for it. Now, you may laugh, but I had this great idea for making it reversible and doing 2 themes, finally put the fabrics together and I hated it. Literally hated it. Me thinks I may have to make her a couple aprons. I think she would get a kick out of what I tried to put together.

The most challenging issue for me has been my fibro, it has decided to give me a real pain. It has been bothering me daily but was keeping a handle on it somewhat. Now it is running rampant and I don't have any handle on it. It has been the "want to crawl out of your skin" time. What does that mean, it means I just want a break from the pain. So if I could be outside myself for a couple of hours and have a pain free break, then I could deal with it better. Now how is that for silly, but you do what you need to do. For me that means resting on the couch, grabbing the lap top and reading some, posting some and vegging. Still learning to be content in whatever situation I am in, instead of pushing where I should not. You learn to pick your battles with this stuff.

So tomorrow is another day, and I will do what I can with the best that I can and then give myself a break. I did find a wee bit of the house here and that always helps!!!!!! I do have a living room floor!!!!! LOL.

So whatever your challenge, remember sometimes baby steps are all we can take and that is good enough.

So now that our house is finally finished with our water adventure, we can get caught back up again on life in general. Yes, the water adventure is finally finally over. Do the major happy dance. Having pipes freeze and then trying to get to all the leaks has been like chasing a freight train down the tracks with my two cute feet........LOL but true.

Today has been catching up with the laundry, Monday we finally got all our dishes done. Tuesday and Wednesday were putting the bathroom back together again, putting the tub back in, temporary fix for the surround around it, then it was trying to clean all the floors, today was laundry. Getting there slowly but surely.

I did get to go visit my niece with my dd and grands, it was a nice break from the clean up. My niece is engaged as of Christmas time and she wanted to tell us in person so had dinner with her and watched a movie, giggling and laughing were involved as well. A girls night is always a very good thing.

One of these days soon will put up some pictures of quilt tops I have done, that way their is some documentation for them. Especially for some of my farmgirl sisters of coarse!!!!!!

Ok, signing off for now, another load of laundry done, how many more to go......I will never tell.............grin.................
