The vacation was still delightful, I just walked more slowly and stopped more frequently to smell the flowers. I like the look of your paisleys. I don't quilt at all, though I'm considering working with the older child on a simple project (eyeglasses case, maybe?). I knit. I won't show any photos, in case the Christmas present recipients see the pics on FB.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085264456653663971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-87672437199455515322010-12-06T20:53:27.514-05:002010-12-06T20:53:27.514-05:00So sorry to hear about your pain!

I too love Leah Day and her innovative designs. <br />I too, don't go to the doctor unless the pain doesn't go away for a while. I sprained my ankle badly in September, but waited 3 days to go to the doctor because it was "just a sprain." He was surprised the x-ray proved no fracture. Now, it's December and it's still not "better."<br />Getting old(er) sucks.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374651954382654005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-46285882521745313222010-12-06T16:19:37.034-05:002010-12-06T16:19:37.034-05:00I love your quilting ..... and I hope your toe is ...I love your quilting ..... and I hope your toe is better soon!! <br />Is it your sewing foot??? <br />Hugs,<br />Joy :o)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594845740035572675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-12786080365224850642010-12-06T13:27:01.074-05:002010-12-06T13:27:01.074-05:00Ooh, I love your paisleys!

Our granddaughter has started repeating what we say, so even words like C**P have had to leave our vocabularies (because it sounds so-o-o-o nasty coming out of a 3-year old's mouth!) The other day, hubby forgot and said it in front of her - she pops up and says, "Poppa, you can't say that!" He promptly said, "OK, I'll say snickerdoodle from now on!" To which she replied, "You can't say that, either - say Itsy Bitsy Spider instead!" So yesterday, while he was watching the Titans get slaughtered on TV, I kept overhearing him saying, "Cr---- oh, Itsy Bitsy Spider!"<br /><br />Laughing yet??Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-88922358846625322672010-12-06T13:23:25.265-05:002010-12-06T13:23:25.265-05:00I think your quilting is awesome!

Ha.<br /><br />Sorry about your toe. Which one was it? I broke my pinkie toe and was going to tell you exactly what Staci said. It happened in junior high, and I was supposed to keep my foot elevated. Har har - try telling that to Miss Pitts, my English teacher, who insisted I put both feet on the ground. She didn't believe that my toe was broken because I wasn't wearing a cast. We went several rounds and I think she finally gave up when I kept my foot firmly planted on the seat in front of me and dared her to call my mother.Peggihttp://www.seamstobeyouandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-60216429474957308162010-12-06T11:33:17.936-05:002010-12-06T11:33:17.936-05:00Oooh, I feel your pain.

Instead of having legs, set back from the corners, we now have solid cherry frame legs. Add to that, we also rearranged the bedroom for the first time in 20 years. Need I say anymore? <br /><br />BTW, your paisley quilting is most awesome. Keep at it, you'll be a machine quilter before you know it.LizA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13948614733590760591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-53503607498912389562010-12-06T11:08:38.926-05:002010-12-06T11:08:38.926-05:00I am so excited to have found your blog.

Unless you've got a bone coming through the skin, all they would do at the hospital is take an x-ray, say, "Oh it is broken" and buddy tape it, and give you the following words of wisdom: Ice, pain reliever and try to stay off it, and if you still want to say, "Guts! Guts! Guts!" after a few weeks, go back in. It is a good excuse to read, sew, catch up on TV and skip wearing shoes. <br />Seriously, though, I hope it feels better soon.

Too much to do!<br /><br />Broken toes suck. I've only ever had one regular one but Hubby spectacularly broke his carrying our newborn son down the stairs. He slipped and, while he saved the baby, he toe-tally mangled his big toe. <br /><br />It is still really crooked and the baby is almost 5. I think at this point it's staying that way. We should cut big gashes in his shoes like impoverished old people do for their bunions. <br /><br />(I TOLD him that carpet should come up because it was slippery. Shoulda listened to me. Now said newborn is 5 and "sleds" down it. I foresee more broken toes- at the very least- in our future.)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968926482209090648noreply@blogger.com
