Lots Going On

"Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says...."Oh crap! She's up!" Unknown

There has certainly been a lot going on in my life this week, but not much I could or would have wanted to blog about.  Let me just say this:  get an annual mammogram, do the follow up, and when someone tells you that you don't know what you're talking about, question that.  Get a second opinion.  Everything turned out fine, (I was right) but there is one radiologist I will never, ever see again if he's the only one in the state, and one that is my hero.  'nuff said.

I also bought a new car this week.  I had a car that was going on 14 years old and had a LOT of miles on it.  It was in very good shape and I probably could have driven it for another two or three years, but DH was getting nervous about things going wrong and that was that.  Note:  Nothing was GOING wrong, he was just nervous about what if.  Then he decided that I probably needed to have an incentive to keep going to work every day.

So off to the dealership we went.  Four hours later I drove home in the 2015 model of the same car I've been driving for the past 20 years.  So I got some nicer amenities, such as heated seats and a moon roof, but it's a Corolla, the same as my last two cars.

I love the new car smell.

I also have been working on a quilt for a fund raiser at church, along with some matching pillows. 

Suzi has it all quilted and bound, now I am doing a label and finishing up on the pillows.  It will be auctioned off to raise money to send the high school kids on a mission trip to a Minnesota Indian Reservation.  It is beautiful and someone will get a treasure!

 

Someone called me and wants to look at doll clothes this week.  I didn't have much left after donating some of THOSE to the auction too, so I ran up a couple of dresses.  I need to get some more buttons for some of the sweaters I knit but didn't finish, and then she should have a pretty decent group to review.  I also made the most darling little coat with some pink wide-wale corduroy.  I lined it in pink and white stripes.  Of course my phone was dead or dying so there is no photo yet.

 

Happy Monday!  Sew on...
