BACK FROM BREAK, et al


Here are my "Sherbet Pips" jelly roll pieces
all laid out for the first 
l -o - n- g
round of sewing...

{Note the little pile of extra squares
from my stash that I will 
sprinkle throughout}

I have pre-trimmed all of 
the strips to various lengths-
as recommended by
Rose  
in her tutorials...

Here are some of the 4.5" squares
she generously sent me 
These will be added here and there
after the 2nd round has been sewn...

***************************
FYI: Yet Another Tick Event

I have finally finished my course of medicine
for the two badly infected tick bites--
[YES, two others!! sigh...] 
that were just found due to their 
"insalubrious" positions!!

I am so glad and lucky that I did opt
to go to my doctor and have 
them checked  out..
At least they didn't hospitalize me
this time around!!

I will skip all the gory details
["you're welcome;)) ]
and just say that I hope they are now
well on their way to disappearing.  
I would highly recommend not waiting
if you get a tick bite...!!!!

At this point I find myself
 hesitant to even step
onto any grassy surface...
But....
My "Sweet Baboo" is going to 
take care of our front seating area with
anti-tick -spray and we will
be extra careful about 
checking for sure!!!!

******************************
I am finally feeling well enough 
to get back to my normal sewing 
and crafting routines. I have been
mostly napping and resting.

Here is part of my Mother's Day and birthday
