This and that

Here at the school I and the other faculty secretary often get thank yous.  We each had received orchids a couple of years ago.  And we had kept them alive but they had never rebloomed.  So I started to give them a little more attention and bought some orchid food.  And I got them to rebloom. Yeah!!




I waswatching Bonnie Hunter's last quilt cam someone asked about the little "doily" that she had under the spool of thread on her machine.  She showed some that she has received to use instead of the red felt disc under your thread on your spool pin.  A light bulb suddenly sent off.  At an estate sale last summer I bought a whole bag full of old tatting. I figures I could use it for crafts, but I didn't want to see it just thrown away, so I snatched it up.  Last night I look through it again and realized there there were a lot of little tatted pieces what would work perfectly at spool pin doilies.  Great, another item for my booth at the Capitol City Quilt Guild Quilt show, May 4 and 5.





Worst task this weekend is going to be taking apart the plumbing on my tub to clean out the drain. Tub still has water in it from yesterday so no choice but to take it apart to get at the clog.  Oh, the joys of home ownership.



Have a great weekend.  One month closer to spring!!
