pictures and dolphins

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Today I was doing a lot of going through pictures, trying to figure out which ones to put in frames and hang up. Ty left the ladder in my studio so I’d put up some pictures, but it is taking me a long time to chose them, much less actually print them and cut them to size for the frames.

I’ve uploaded some pictures from our Michigan and New York vacations, but there are so many pictures that I’ll start really early tomorrow morning on the blog entry. But…Since Ty is on the phone with his friend Jeff, I’ll see what I can do…. early tomorrow morning that is.

I did get an email sent out to Arra saying her wedding pictures are up, and to another friend Adam to show him the Jake Scott cups we used at the wedding. He is a big Dolphins fan.

Quilt Hanging

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Today we went to Jerry’s True Value across the street and got an 85 inch long aluminum tube to hang the quilt.

Ty decided he’d help. He brought up the ladder from storage, and even measured everything out.

Yesterday I cut a piece of the backing, pinned a two inch tube, and stitched it closed with a basting stitch that didn’t cut through the top layer of the quilt.

Another final shot!

We used two of those 5 lb picture hooks. Ty bent the hook out so it could accommodate the tube. The quilt and tube was 7.2 lbs total.

It is really nice having it up. I knew the walls in this place were pretty tall, but now they feel even taller.

As I type this, my nose is on fire!

We got home from Nebraska on Sunday, and on Monday, Tyrone whipped up a batch of fridge pickles, with layers of green beans, cucumbers, peppers and onions.

I had a few pickles today, including a hot pepper. At that point I must have touched my nose, and now it is ON FIRE!

Also baked some zucchini bread yesterday. I doubled the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook’s recipe and baked it in a round cake pan. MMMM….

Working on the pictures to post on this blog and how to say a few other things, but as I said, right now my NOSE IS ON FIRE!
