    Thank you! I can't buy anything right now because my DD accidently threw her retainer away and now I gotta come up with $50.00 quick. I'm sooooooo mad I could scream, she couldn't pick a worse time to do this!!!!! I cried last night because the finances are not there for anything extra.. I'm might try to sell some of my favorite fabric's later if I can't come up with the money.. Sorry to be a downer this morning you all. I hope you all have a great day!
    I know that's tough. Any way your DD could earn a little of that money so she may feel a little more responsible for replacing what she lost? You are in my prayers.

    Congratulations!!! 1.4 is great.
    I had a terrible Sunday. I ate a cinnamon role and then had nachos for dinner. Well, that is out of my system now back to my good eating. Good thing I weigh in on Friday. I will need to walk extra this week.

    OK, here are my first 2 blocks. I need to make another one this week still. I am hanging them on my design wall to keep me encouraged. You can see my other projects on the wall too. The massive block is for a quick comforter I promised my daughter. On the far right is same daughters halloween costume accessories.
