Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

REALLY showed up where my seams were wrong or the quilt wasn't square. you'll understand better when i post pictures. worst job i've done to date, but it's for a one yr old and , really, he won't care! i'm hoping he drags it thru the next 6 yrs or so of his life so when it wears out, no one will think it was my crummy workmanship. lol. BTW, my true love is sculpting, but when i can't do that i'll dabble in anything! i have to finish this painting this week end because i'm going to say good-bye to his parents. we have tried being friends and for too many reasons it just really hasn't worked out, but i think none of us so far have wanted to be the one who called it quits. well, i say it's time to put that old horse out of it's misery, so i guess i'm the one who will shoot it.
see, i am losing, and i am in control. pooh! doesn't mean i'm liking it.

You use washable elmers school glue with a micro tip.I got my tips at Michaels in the window art supplies section where they use the tubes for writing.The have 3 sizes in the box,was less than $5.00,and it does fit the smaller elmer's bottle good.Just watch Sharon Schambers video's on you-tube on her channel on "eight pointed star" & "Stash and Dash"I promise you,you will go back and watch all her video's as she has a lot of good tips.It will increase your accuracy 100 %.With her method,if you screw up a seam,you can simply rip it out and re-glue it.When it's right,then you sew it.And it washes out.Everybody should watch her video's if they sew any at all.I really improved my skills when I found her.There is a lot of cool video's on you-tube.But Sharon is my top pick as she is a master quilter.Did you all see her see through quilt?Wow,was that a stunner.

Yay! I lost another half of a pound today! I sure won't reach my goal this month but at least I am back to losing again.Does anyone else worry that if they get off track they will never get back on? That is a huge fear for me because.....well I know myself. LOL I know I wouldn't have come this far with out all of your help and I am so thankful to have all of you in my life. It really has made a big difference. Thank you to all of you!:)
