Happy--St. Patty's day!!!--I did have my green Lucky t-shirt on and a pretty St Patty's day silk scarf --!!!
I know I was busy all week--yet when I went to do photos for this post--it doesn't seem like I have very many----
I did get this month's heart embroidery block done from Melisa--
And now here is the first '3' months we have done--
She is coloring her's in a bit--I may do that--later and use colored pencils--time will tell???
I also designed a couple little wool bunny items--
I enjoyed doing these (they are a bit lighter in color than they look here)--I mean, I had the box of wool out for this months 'wool' Christmas ornaments I am doing each month--so why not have a couple rabbits jump out of the box too!!! This months 'wool' is stars--they are not done yet--wonder why???
Last night I finished the hand quilting on the borders to this quilt--
I did a big stitch on the lattice in a variegated pink thread--now to just trim the edges and sew the binding on--binding is all cut-just needs to be sewn and pressed--
One afternoon I found and cut 3-4 projects of battings and backings--now to press them and get them basted for hand quilting--
And I have done a couple more hearts this week--
And on one of my shopping trips this past week--this really pretty cute pink bunny hopped a ride home with me--
Betty and Peter are keeping an eye on her--to be sure she doesn't 'hop' off some place--
And here is a new Metal rabbit that I got at Dollar Tree a couple weeks ago--in their $3-$5 section and I only paid $3 for her--
And I have been cross stitching a new sampler this week--it is almost finished--

Part 2--Daily life!!!
Monday was our Van drive--we went to a Super Walmart--there was just 2 of us for some reason--this trip there is usually 4-6 that go--I just shopped for regular things that I needed--and yes--this is where the new pink bunny jumped into my cart and wanted to come live here!!!
Tuesday I took the bus to the Publix store--our weeks worth of menus here--were terrible so I knew I needed some good food for the week--got me some fresh salmon--organic potatoes, asparagus, and a rotisserie Chicken --(ok and some dark chocolate and some organic ice cream!!!)
Wednesday I had to go see the visiting nurse, Lynda to get my B-12 injection--I actually have the disease that requires you to get an injection every month or more--mine is every 3 weeks now after getting it since 1995!! And the office wanted me to sign a new 'House Rules' package--I told them I signed that when I resert--well they got upset about that--so I brought a copy home to read--it was --wait for it--12 pages long--and most of involved family units--no families here--just us old whining, complaining, confused, seniors--but I signed it!!!
Thursday--it was just me and a walk downtown--went into a couple stores and then stopped at a place called Burger Inn--done in the 50's style and had a Cheeseburger, fries, and ice tea-for the grand sum of $14.00--the burger was good--but only medium size--I did eat it out on their patio--so it was an enjoyable outing--
Saturday--I was up at 7 am and down in the laundry room by 7:10 to do laundry--did 2 big loads and spent the rest of the day just plain--doing housework--so now I can spend this week--getting it all messy and the floor full of threads again--oh what fun!!!
*********
my daughter goes for the biopsies tomorrow and we should know the results by the end of the week--so am still waiting on that--
****
still no word from HUD on the food price increase--
*****
And my Patty's day lunch, from the dinning room, was--corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and brown bread--ONLY--you could not even cut the corn beef with a sharp knife--and forget eating it, and rest wasn't eatable either except the potatoes--ended up fixing me something from the freezer--we did also get 'grasshopper pie"--maybe that will be good later this afternoon????
WELL AFTER TODAY--EASTER WILL BE IN FULL MODE--ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!
HUGS, DIANE
Now this I could of enjoyed today for lunch!!!
