I know that was corny buy hey, that’s me.   Don’t you just love this steno pad cover?  Sandy K. of Magnolia Springs, TX made this for me using one of PITH blocks… the log cabin.    She even embroidered my name on it.  WOW!!!  What a nice gift huh!!??  I just had to share this with you.  Thank you dear Sandy.  I can’t wait to see you again.

I’m also happy to report that I made a little more progress on my Ike cleanup and reorganization of my sewing area.  I actually have a place to walk now.  I also have all of the Hidden Diamond blocks uploaded.  I started mine in 5″ but I’m starting over to do the 10″ block.  Once I have the top done, I’ll send to the quilter and then I’ll snap a photo to share.  It’s a little after 10pm here so I’m gonna call it a day and just relax some and take some pain meds for this nastly lil nerve.

I do not know how it happened but I know it feels horrible.  About 4 days I woke up with a burning in my left shoulder and when I moved, sharp pains jolted me.  I finally went to the Dr. a couple days ago and he gave me a cortisone shot which hurt pretty bad itself!  Well, it’s day two after the shot and I’m still hurting.  The burning sensation is gone but the sharp, piercing pain is there when I lift my arm.  This is not a good time.  I’m soooo behind on getting things uploaded for my Hidden Diamond group.  I also started a big mess in my house trying to utilize the space I had.  Me and my kiddos live in a 2bdr. duplex so that leaves only the living room for office space.  As you can see from the picture below, it’s a mess!  I finally got things cleaned up from IKE’s nasty mess, now I just have to reorganize my sewing area.
