Tidbits on a Tuesday

So on Friday last week the No Cook ladies threw me a surprise retirement party. I was totally clueless. To be honest I had forgotten about it. They said they would but time passed, I moved on and never gave it a thought. They had done my parade, I figured it was covered so I put it out of my mind. They did not and they got me.

The wonderful thing about friends is if they are true good friends they indulge your own personal level of crazy, They run with it and celebrate it with you. So for my party, they embraced my love of all things Hiddleston and the results were awesome

 

His image was all over the yard. It made me giggle. He was with us in effigy, which tickled me to no end. I received the cutest piggy picture which has now taken up residence over the couch in my living room. Aside from Mr Hiddleston I am enchanted by all things pig. I received a basket of English themed snacks and all in all it was a very lovely fun filled night which still had a big stupid grin on my face the next day. I still smile when I think of it. My friends are the best.

Picture proof that yes the picture is up and over my couch. I still have some shuffling to do with the pictures that were originally there but I have a plan. One will be taken down and another will be moved to my bedroom.

I finished a baby quilt just yesterday. Its in the wash with my row by row quilt and I have not taken pictures of them yet. I will once they are fresh and clean. I cannot really post a picture of the baby quilt until the Grandma has seen it. That will happen very soon. I think I need to step back from quilts for a couple of days and get some other things done. Best Friend's quilt made with her Dad's ties is next up on the docket.

Today  I am just doing odd jobs, I haven't really slept in the last few days so I am mostly running on fumes. So far to day I have done some ironing. I know they are so out of style but I do love a doily. I starched and ironed a few of them today. I glued the cap back on the giant glass mushroom. I have put quilting material back where it belongs. I am hell on wheels getting stuff out but am a bit of a slow poke when it comes to putting it all away. Today I need to make a baby card, wrap a gift, take the garbage, recycle and compost out. I then need to make sure the dumpsters are in place for tomorrow's pick up. I desperately need to make a trip to the basement to turn on the water to the outside tap. In my world that almost overwhelms me and its such a simple thing for anyone else to do. I hang my head in shame but it is what it is. Oh well we shall see what happens.
