I talked with my childhood friend for half an hour yesterday. We would have talked longer, but they was helping her husband paint. Ugh. I can’t help but think about the good times we had in Maine. She said she would like to visit her aunt, but flying almost anywhere from Bismarck is such a hassle. I completely agree with her. I loved my visit with her, but getting there and back was a real pain. I said that if my van wasn’t so old, I would drive there. I think she thought I was crazy, but I don’t mind driving at all. I could stop whenever I wanted and sight-see along the way. The only drawback is I can’t knit and drive at the same time.
I’m almost ready to put my quilt together. Instead of safety pins, I’m using Pimoors. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily they worked and how quickly they went. I liked them so much, the quilt is going to sit there until I get more. I ordered another hundred and I hope they get here soon.
Somethimes, I wish I could just sit down and follow directions, but I can’t. I get ideas, then more ideas. And the quilt turns out completed diferent from the original. I cut out some cats. That looked good, but I really did need some dogs. I thought I was finished, but then, I thought, where are they going to live. Well. A house of course. And a tree to finish it off. Finally.
