FEELIN' BETTER; AND, LIFE MOVES ON......

Here's my little darling during our baby/dog sitting week.....she is getting soooo big: "I am not a goo-goo-gaa-gaa baby!  I'm a BIG GIRL!"  she tells us....

Our lives have returned to what passes for normal around here...except that I thought I had a bad cold that just hung on and on and the MD told me --NOPE!  Two massive ear infections and bronchitis...sooo, back on prescription for another 10 days...
Hearing only from inside your head (both ears blocked up totally) is a very disorienting experience.  I see the leaves moving, but cannot hear them--things like that.  AND driving is a totally weird experience.  I can't hear the cars.... WHOA, NELLIE!  But enough about the perils of Julierose....

I have finally been able to go into my sewing room to do a few things:

Remember those scrappy blocks I made before...well, they are a little too bright for me right now--just too riotous for how I am feeling....amazing how our fabric choices really reveal our moods...; I decided to use a semi-controlled scrap base and came up with these....

AND:

This one...etc.  They are mindless and fun to do, sew strips one day, trim the next and then sew 4 together...a little bit at a time (as I tire so easily..)

Also, at night, working on finishing up my hexagon table runner...this is the middle section:

AND I made a tentative "pull" for my new hand project when this one is finished:  

I do think it "needs" something else--a spark of something...  

I will close with a giant thank you to all of you who sent your good wishes along to me.  It really helped...now that we have had some closure, we are trying to get back normalcy...

Hugs to all, Julierose, La Blageuse

"MUNCHKIN" COMES TO VISIT

Look who came for a visit....my darling granddaughter, Fiona--who is now feeding herself (finger foods, natch) and very intent on grasping food...food...more food...a gourmet in the making...

Oh...and yes, drinking, too--she is 7 months old....and raring to go...busy, busy girl...

And she will sit with anyone now...not so "strange"--but still keeping her eyes on "Mommy", of course...

Here is Grand-pere (aka my darling husband) doing a maracca rhythm --another musician in the making??

"See, now it's my turn..."  we had such a wonderful day...don't you just love grandchildren????

Julierose, La Blageuse Grand'mere....
