This week as been more productive. The floor in our home office was installed on Tuesday, and the installers were so nice they even moved our huge roll top desk back into the office for us. It weighs a ton, so we were very appreciative of their help. All the furniture is back in and now just doing a bit of touch up painting on the closet and room entry door and the job is finished. Plus we did a good deal of cleaning out and organizing.
I finished my Gadget Girl's Tool Kit this week as well. This was a really fun project and great for taking with me on the go. I have been fussing around with this Seagull Paradise Block 1pattern put out by Suzy's Crafters and Quilters. I am not sure I will actually go on from Block 1. I have 9 blocks downloaded and I think more to come. They are released each month. It makes a 52 by 68 inch quilt, so not sure I want to continue beyond this one block. We sadly had to have our little dog Ginger put to sleep on Sunday. We have been back and forth multiple times to the vet since January with heart problems. Lots of up and downs, but by last week she was having a good deal of problems breathing. When we took her into our vet Sunday morning, he told us she was experiencing severe heart and kidney failure. We loved her dearly but could not see her suffer. We will really miss her.
So sorry to hear about Ginger...it's heart breaking to lose your loved one-either two or four legs! on a happier note-your quilts and blocks are looking great!
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear about Ginger! It's always heart breaking to lose a loved one-either two or four legs! on a happier note-your quilts and blocks are looking great!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of Ginger passing. It’s so hard to let go of family members. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you, Donnalee. We lost our Lulu in February -- I should say my husband's Lulu, because she decided early on which human in the household was most worthy of her love! It is so, so hard to lose them even when you know it's their time. I love your Drummer Boy quilt top and 54 x 54 is a nice versatile size. I think it was a good call to finish it up at a smaller size if you knew you weren't motivated to make so many more additional blocks. Will you have it custom quilted or edge to edge, or haven't you decided yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss of Ginger. We've done that same thing and it's ever so hard to let them go, but letting them suffer wasn't something we wanted to have our baby do either. Big healing hugs.

The Gadget Girl tool pouch is perfect for having everything at hand when a project moves from place to place. So pretty. Pets are such an integral part of our lives, they leave a gapping hole when gone. Ginger, clearly was much loved.
ReplyDeleteThe drummer boy blocks are very pretty. I love the scrappiness of it.
ReplyDeletePoor little Ginger, so sad to read that her time had come. You are right, its heartbreaking to see your pet suffer, a hard decision to make but of course it is the right one. My condolences to you and your family.
