The Finisher!

 Iris went in to the vet to get spayed and when she came home she had a poodle haircut on her legs! The shaved her legs to put in IVs I guess.

Poor girl, still feels a little loopy, but she's doing fine!

My dear cousin Robin, gave me a mission! Last weekend when I saw her, she gave me two baby gift quilts that she had not been able to finish. Well, bring it on, I'm a finisher!

Here's the first one, It's a quilt that is the Very Hungry Caterpillar. 

I asked her how old is the child she originally started this for now? She said maybe around 12 years old! HAHAHAHA!!!

It's been crazy windy all week so I haven't been able to go outside and get it spray basted! Thursday was the day!

I got it up on the garage door and all stuck together.

It looks pretty good. 

That last border might be a little bit rippled....hmmm, I measured, but sometimes it just does what it wants to I guess.

And here it is all done! I used the same white caterpillar print for the binding and then when I was all done noticed there was red binding already cut! Darn it! Oh well it's staying white!!

This turned out to be a good sized twin quilt. That one is done, now on to the next one!

Busy, Busy, Busy

 

So it's all about the air conditioner again!  Look at that iceberg formed around the a/c line. I used the hair dryer to melt it away and then left the fan on the unit running all night to thaw the entire line. 

Then it happened again! So I called our usual repair folks at Affordable Heating and Cooling. They said there may be a leak or a clog. Great. They can't get to us until Monday (this was Thursday).

SO I thawed it all out again and then I place the stand fan in front of the unit thinking that maybe it wouldkeep it from letting water pile up and freeze. Well what do you know i! It worked! We were cool as ever over the weekend and it was no trouble to wait for the repair guy to get here. It was a clog in the area of the condenser coils. All fixed and good now!

When I got up on Friday, my Amazon delivery was here! I ordered non-chewable seating for the back deck. 

Now for assembly. It went together pretty well. Just remember to leave ALL the bolts loose until they are ALL in place, only two or three turns on the nut. Then go back and tighten them all up. 

I really like the bright red color!

And they are more comfortable than they look. 

These two approve!

Kids and dog approved!

Out there eating candy on the deck, what a sweet moment!

And another great moment-Luna got spayed! YAY!!

DD dropped her off in the morning and I picked her up in the afternoon. She's doing just fine and dandy! Very nice folks at the Iowa Humane Alliance. They are a non profit that offers low cost spay & neuter surgeery as well as offering all kinds of products and services for pet owners.
