Again???

Yesterday afternoon, the breast surgeon called and wants me to have a biopsy. I thought I could put all of this behind me, but again, I have to deal with the discomfort, the waiting, etc. Well, I know that it will probably be negative, but I still have to go through with it. Stay tuned....
Last night, I had a girlfriend night here. I made dinner and we watched a movie and just had a great time. Our men are on the annual men's bike trip. Now it would have been a little easier on me to go out, but I think our meal was tastier and about 1/10th of the price. So, I may be doing this from now on, just to save $$$$.... besides, I can come up with some great ingredients at Aldi, my favorite grocery store. I just can't find some special things, like last night I needed Hoisen sauce. So, Celia stopped and got it and it was her contribution to the meal.
After they left (at 10 pm, by the way....old ladies!!!), I spent some time in the basement working on the three projects that are in the works. I am trying to work on an applique project that I mentioned earlier. Last night I made the stems with my new 3/8" bias tape maker:

I also am working on a pesky project for the Jo Morton Club that has 40 little squares that are all the same....which tends to bore me, so I do 5-6 at a time and then put it away for a few days. I discovered a time saving way to do it now, where I layer the darks and lights 10-12 layers deep and cut at once and then square up. It has saved my sanity and I only have 12 more to make before I put the whole thing together. I don't know if it breaks any rules, but it works for me. I am always trying to find things to save time and steps:

Oh I had to show you one that wasn't square!!! Oh well, only all of you in cyberspace will ever know.
Being the "get involved" person that I am, since attending and ultimately joining the quilt guild, there are several projects that they are either working on, or they give out challenges, whatever. This year's service project is to make lap quilts for the veteran's hospital, specifically for their wheelchairs. So, on Wednesday, I looked through my stash and scraps and found some that will work. So I came up with this little thing. However, not until I took this picture did I see that the stars are not as random as I had hoped. Oh well, can't always do it right. (in fact, I do it wrong so much of the time that it has become my right!!!)

See, there are stars in every row, but only if you turn it the other way!!!! Darn.....
Today, I am going to a crop from 2-9 pm. I haven't scrapped in a while, so should be fun. I am going to work on Dave and Liz's wedding...that's how far behind I am, they are about to celebrate their 3rd anniversary!! I am also going to do Candice's senior plays and maybe just a fun page. Keep watching, more pics to come.
Have heard from many of you that you regularly read this, so hope that your aren't bored with my life, but I have found even if no one reads it, it is a great way for me to get some of my many words out. After all, I have all of those 5000 words that we women are supposed to use.
