January 7, 2012

What a wonderful refreshing day.  Getting to talk to a friend I haven't talked to for 2 years, picking back up where we left off, talking for over two hours.  What a delight to say the least.  There are those people in your life that you may not get to talk to as often as you want to, but you pick right up where you left off.  Amazing fun.

I learned how to do some hand applique today at this wonderful quilt shop.  It was worth getting up early and learning how to do it with ease.  Having the right needle to do turn applique is imperative.  It made doing the applique so so so much easier.  Their suggestion was straw needles, size 10.  It is thin and long and it doesn't bend.  I have the notorious habit of bending my needles when I am working on something.  I don't with these.  That was so great!!!  Along with laughter, good company and learning.  What a great way to start ones day.

Now I have to admit, I am so not a morning person.  I did great because the time literally flew, came home and shared all the fun stuff with dh.  Then it was, Wow, I am so tired.  Off to slumber land for a while so I could function for the rest of the day.  Needless to say, I never really got back up to speed after taking the nap.  LOL.  Doesn't matter it was still a wonderful day.

So now that I am learning this skill, it means more projects.....lol. Now I am in trouble.......
