The people who I bought my house from are having a new house built, it was supposed to be finished by October 31. Guess what? Yup. They have asked to continue renting until mid-December. I'm really hoping it won't take longer.
To while away the time, I've been helping my mom with a major cleanup of her basement - I broke the basement today, for some reason none of the electrical outlets are working (yes, I checked the circuit breaker). I've joined a cross stitch group that meets twice a week (I've only been going once a week). I've gone to a few quilt shows, including a road trip back to California for the Pacific International Quilt Festival (I'll share pictures next week). Gotten my library card and my Oregon driver's license (DMV screwed up and put a picture of an old lady on my driver's license). And done very little sewing.
My mom really likes the log cabin quilt I've been working on so I'm trying to figure out how to make a 60 inch center fit a queen size bed.
I'm thinking lots of borders. I'm trying to decide if I want to add a small border (or two) of the hunter green that is in the large print fabric. It will probably be determined by whether or not I can find a fabric that matches.
Bella has settled in really well. Every door here has a sign on it saying "CAT!" to remind everyone not to let the cat out. We (my mom) has also had to move every house plant to either my mom's bedroom / bathroom or the garage as Bella loves to eat plants. We even had to move a few fake ones. I got her a tub of wheat grass that she can eat instead, hopefully she will stop chewing on the fake plants.
She LOVES my mom's gas fireplace. Who doesn't love a warm belly. ;o)
