Where did that one go

Here it is Sunday again, and as my title indicates the past week just flew by so fast.

Two appointments with the dentist,  the first one was for my regular cleaning, and as I have dental coverage for 90% of the bill not much money had to come out of my bank account.  The second was for the replacement of a filling which decided to fall out last week.  It was under warrantee, (never knew that) so that was a free fix. 

Made a visit to Dr. as I am going to have my insides looked at by a camera.  A good clean out after Christmas, does that mean I can go overboard with all of the food.  LOL

The owner of the building I live in arranged for a photographer to come in and take photos of anyone one who wanted to participate.  I decided to have mine done, and have not received the proofs yet.

It was time for me to have a hair cut, so that was taken care of last week too.

Happy hour on Friday, everyone there had signed a birthday card and then they all sang Happy Birthday.  There are so many lovely people here, so friendly and helpful.  Don't regret moving here for a minute.

As yesterday was my birthday, and I received many best wishes from family and friends near and far.  In the evening my two daughters and SIL's took me out for dinner at an Italian restaurant, delicious meal and of course the sparkler covered cake to finish off the meal.

Our weather has been a mixed bag of everything Mother Nature can throw at us.  Snow, rain, wind, sun shine and even some thunder.  Today is cloudy, with a forecast of snow, with a high temp of 5*C, we shall get what ever comes our way.

I plan on visiting my sister this afternoon, if the weather holds and hope to be home before it gets dark, so it might be a short one today.


Have a great day


Cheers.

Finished

We have had some some rainy and cooler days this past week and more is expected for the coming seven days.
It's that time of the year when we can expect almost anything and everything in one day.  At least where I live there has been none of that white stuff yet.

Last Saturday I went to a craft day, great to see all the different crafts everyone was doing.  Unfortunately I had another commitment so my visit was short, will go again if there is another one planned.   Later the same day I went to a Barber Shop Concert,  Does not sound very interesting does it? but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  
Have had a couple of appointments this past week, which were good.  Next week a  couple more, I always seem to have them all at once, which is a good thing really, get all done in a couple of weeks then I don't need to think about it for six months or more.

Went to yoga three times this week and also did a couple of walks, need to get a few pounds off---again.  

Went to my quilting guilds monthly meeting, it was an enjoyable time, as always.  Several quilts were finished for the Tiny Home Project here in the city, so they will be donated soon.  There was also lots of show and tell.  I  had just recently finished my 16 x 20 inch confetti fabric picture which I have been working on during the summer months.  Took it for show and tell and pleased everyone liked it.  So, I showing it here and hope you like it too.  Picture not very straight, sorry.

I browsed on the web to give me some ideas, combined all of the things I would like to see in my project and this is the result.   Some of the pieces of fabric are as small as a grain of rice so that I could get the effect of leaves, other pieces are a little bigger.  The rocks are from landscape fabric showing rocks, the water is strips of fabric, the water falls are threads from cheese cloth and batting pulled apart and mixed with white glue.  I attached black tulle on the top to make sure everything stayed in place as some of the pieces were coming loose even though they were ironed on with SAS.  I then attached it to an artist canvas, now having to decide where to hang it in my living room.

A very big crowd of residents were at the happy hour last night so lots of conversation and laughs.

Laundry done today, and I plan on visiting my sister tomorrow if she is up for a visit.

Have a great day.


Cheers.
