Monday: Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I received some flowers. :)

Ben spent it skiing. :)

Sunday: the quilt

It's finished!

This is the best corner. I used a new method that I found online and it worked pretty well, but I need more practice with it.

Here's the artistic shot.

Overall, I think it came out pretty well. I'm still having edge problems, but it's getting there. The actual quilting part was only ok. It was fun for the first few squares. I didn't see changes happening like I put the quilt top together, so it wasn't as much fun. I'm also not sure what I think of the satin edging. I really like the feel, but it is hard to work with and likes to snag.

Saturday: tomorrow

So you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the quilt; it is currently in the dryer.

In other news today, Ben surprised me by getting the groceries. Woo-hoo! That means we don't have to get them tomorrow.

We played some games with friends tonight and I managed to hurt my team a lot at one point. It was funny though because usually I can't hurt my team. Hmm, maybe it was funnier if you were there.

Friday: hi

Hi.

Flurry thinks it's time for bed. I had a nice evening. Ben and I went to Tioga Trails. The service was slow, as normal, but we had plenty to talk about. Ben and I each won at Dominion once.

My quilt is almost done. I'm starting the forth border now. The first and second sides went well, but I had some serious problems with the third. It came out...ok. Good enough that I'm not going to rip it out again at least. Hopefully I'll have pictures of the finished product tomorrow.

Wednesday: fractions

When I'm looking forward to something, I'll often count down the time using fractions. Such as going to space camp, days until my wedding, a vacation, etc. (P.S. It helps to have a good denominator).

Today I forgot my book while exercising, so I counted down the minutes using my factions. Itc went kind of like this:

2 out of 30 minutes: I'm 1/15 done!

3 out of 30 minutes: I'm 1/10 done!

...

7 out of 30 minutes: I'm 7/30 done. Oh, that's a boring one. Prime numbers are boring.

12 out of 30 minutes: I'm 6/15 done! Wait, it reduces more! I'm 3/5 done! (I actually had to do this one a few times. Sometimes math and exercise doesn't work.)

15 out of 30 minutes: I'm 3/6 done! I'm 1/2 done! Hmm, I wonder if I'm on track to beat the 3200 steps from last time. That would be 1600 steps right now. Yup! I'm beating it!

...

I'm done!

Wednesday: wordless Wednesday

Can it really be a wordless Wednesday if you have a title?

Tuesday: tired

Tonight I am tired. tuesdays usually end up being the most tired days because it is get home from work, eat, and go to Bible Study. Today I threw in shovel the driveway and prep for Bible study too. We need to get gas in the grey car. It's been sitting in the garage for the last week plus because 1) it doesn't have any gas 2) it's been snowy and we feel safer in the blue car and 3) we're still trying to drive together many days. Oh, so I told you all that because we had to shovel that half of the driveway tonight. We still didn't get the whole thing done but hopefully enough for me to get out. It's supposed to warm up this weekend, so why shovel if it's going to melt?

I can tell Im tired. I'm rambling.
