What a week!

Ok, so I have had better weeks. First, I fell in the shower and a concussion and black eye followed. Then I have to rewrite all the block of the month patterns because of a glitch. Alright enough of the poor, poor, pitiful me. I guess if I have learned something over the years is sometimes you win and sometimes you sing the blues but at least the blues don't stay forever.
I am glad i have so many wonderful friends and famliy that care about me. So I will take the good with the bad.
As for the block of the month; it will be ready on time but at least it was caught now instead of later.

What happened to your eye?

I know I am going to hear that a lot when I come back to work. Well, here is what happened:

I was in the shower on Saturday and I had a hot flash. Next thing I know I am on the shower floor telling Lee, "I don't know how I got here." Long story short i have a concussion. I have been home taking it easy while my wonderful family and friends run the store. They have done a terrific job. I feel very lucky to have these great people in my life. They have bossed me around to take care of myself.

Thank you all for you kind words and concern. A special thanks to all that helped at the shop and even those who told me to stay home. Just goes to show quilters are wonderful people.

See you soon,
Diane

Happy St Pat's Day, and National Quilting Day

Ok I am a little early. The way things have been going lately it is a nice change of pace.
I had a great time with the girls on Sunday at Trends. It is fun to be able to go with everyone and see new stuff. Nice for the ladies I work with to get some hot deals too. I feel very lucky to have to such talented people around me. It helps me be more creative in return.

So what is happening for National Quilting day? Oh I think there might be something nice at the store in a way of a.......... hmmm maybe it is too early. I think I will talk about it in the newsletter instead and then post it. :)
