Last week, being the only week to have completely off for the summer - no outside work - I planned on sewing, sewing, sewing and I got very little done. I took a nap almost everyday and was a lazy bum for the most part. I had lots of dog and me appointments - grooming, vets, doctors, etc. and got the majority of them taken care of. I have a few more on my calendar for this month and I think the dogs are taken care of for a bit. I really needed to cut my 300 - 6 inch - squares for our exchange tomorrow night and I got 150 light squares cut and ready to go, but I have to cut my darks tonight. That may or may not happen. It is thundering outside and I think I have more than the usual one dog afraid of the storm. I may have to go back downstairs and cuddle with a couple of them to reassure them that the storm is not going to get them.
A couple of years ago, a major thunder and lightening storm settled over the top of my house. Being two story it seemed that it may come through the roof at any time. This was at 2 in the morning and Taegan, Irish and I were fast asleep. Then BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!!! Taegan was up and on top of me so fast that I couldn't figure out what was going on. I thought someone might have broken in and he was protecting me, but no, he wanted my protection from the storm. He had never been scared of storms before, but that was a scary one for sure. Ever since then, if it is thundering or there are fireworks or other loud noises going on outside, he comes running for his momma and either climbs in my lap or sits as close as he can get for my protection. That one storm really scared him. He was probably fast asleep at the time and it scared him awake. So, tonight, he has the other dogs stirred up and every time the thunder booms - not very loudly, but still a boom - he starts barking and the others join in with him. I think Irish is just telling them to be quiet, since he managed to sleep through that storm a couple of years ago.
Tonight is the final competition night on So You Think You Can Dance and guess what? Our Fox station is not working! BOO!!!! I was looking forward to watching them dance tonight. I am hoping that I can watch it later tonight on the computer. I may have to wait until tomorrow night. : ( That show is one of my favorite shows to watch.
Well, so much for my rambling on. I did take a picture of one of the only things I got made last week. It is part of a new quilt design. I had originally planned on this being a two color quilt and I wanted to see what it would look like using scraps. I also want to see if I could make this block without getting technical and writing out all the directions, sizes, etc. Because if it didn't work, I didn't want to be out all that wasted time when my time last week was spent . . well, you know, you read all the way down to here, now didn't you. I love a good nap. I really like the way this turned out. I can't wait to make the rest of the quilt or at least a baby quilt using scraps.
