Small proof that I haven't been captured by a band of roaming Gypsies. Life around here is just a little busy right now. Alright, a little busy is not nearly strong enough. There is so much to be done of an organizational nature(eeeeeek)that I just grabbed some plastic bags off the shelves the other day and decided to see what was in them. Pieces of the above quilts-that's what. I finished the rows on the Avignon/Sandy Klop piece and put a border on it. It will make a sweet little wall hanging for a new space and there will certainly be lots of those coming soon. The Bali hand dyed blocks just needed to be put together and that will most likely be the same. A small wall hanging.
When I made the last baby quilt I was together enough to make a lot of nine patch blocks (above in Whimsy fabric) for a second quilt and good thing I did. I'm currently finishing that top for a niece's baby. This fabric has been a favorite of mine but now that I'm on the third quilt made with it, I think I've seen it enough for a while. It goes to the shelves and will stay there for a while.
The happy couple is coming with Lucy later to have dinner with me. I have some work to do around here before that. It's another bright shiny day in January(unbelievable joy) however the sunshine just points up the amazing amount of dust I have ignored for too long. Off to Vacuum with the super sucker and do some laundry. Maybe I can work in a little sewing before they arrive.
I almost forgot to mention that I bought one of those light therapy lamps from Amazon. It should be here in a couple of days. Many of my blog friends have mentioned that they are aflicted with SAD which is essentially a feeling of depression and sadness in the winter time from the change in daylight hours and sunlight. These lamps are supposed to help with that by flooding the room with light that mimics sunlight. You need to have it on at least an hour and they recommend it in the morning and even as a wake up light. I read a couple of reviews that also mention how much better the light is for reading. I'll let you know how it turns out.
ALSO...what the hell is up with Blogger? No matter how I configure a page as soon as I hit publish it totally screws everything up and re-configures the page any old weird way....Grrrrrr
Talk soon...

Look at you go, woman! That is so wonderful!!! Quilting therapy and volunteering therapy do the heart good! Oh, wait a minute....the happy couple and precious Lucy sure are therapy all on their own!
Wow! You have accomplished a lot. I am making dinner for our little Portland family, too. Scooter wishes they had a dog to come and play with him!
You've been busy! The quilts all look beautiful...love the bright, happy colors.
Good luck with the new light.
Love all three of those tops! 'Specially the middle one. I have no proof, but I am quite sure I have SAD. When I lived in Ohio, the dark, bleak winters would send me into a dark pit of no energy and no interest in life. I love living in the desert. Bright sunshine all the time=very happy person. When I went to Alaska in winter I learned about the light therapy--a lot of people use them up there. It's pretty amazing science when you think about it.
Hope the light works for you.
Lovely little quilts. I love your colors.
Love those quilts! They are so cheerful.
Hope the light is working out for you. I had a couple of the daylight bulbs in MA (along with vitamin D supplements) made all the difference in my moods *s*
